 |  | | Occulsed - Antegnosis | Riding an old school riff attack straight into the 2020's, Atlanta GA's Occulsed hit Everlasting Spew with their sophomore album, Antegnosis. Hearkening back to Death Metal's vile, swampy, Tampa heyday, Occulsed focus on grime and a good time, blasting out some slimy, inspired fury. Metal is a wonderful style, open to many varied forms and approaches, celebrating those who want to experiment and push the envelope, as well as those who want to strengthen the bones of the genre-defining acts that inspired them to pick up their instruments. Occulsed consists of death dealers with over twenty years of experience, highlighting what it is that made them love the scene that made the genre a household name (well, in my house at least). Their modern old school death metal is perfect for both new and old fans alike, moving fast and furious, pummeling the listener with gloom and doom the entire time.

 |  | | Negatives/Sparrows Can't Sing - Negatives/Sparrows Can't Sing( Blu Ray) | For some, role-playing/ cosplaying is their all, making their day-to-day dreary/ drab existence seem barely. Here, from the late 60s, is Negatives- a lightly kinky at points disconcerting arty British drama focusing on one such character- a timid and unsure of himself London antiquarian. The film is a rather lulling-paced affair, dotted with moments of sly erotica, psychological distress/ unfolding, and jarring moments of intensity- where fantasy and reality collide. Here, from Severin, as part of their series of reissues of films by Hungarian-born British film director Peter Medak, is a Blu-ray release featuring a new scan, a good selection of extras, including on a second disc another film, 1963 Sparrows Can't Sing, a kitchen sink comedy drama that Medak was the assistant director on.
