This Heat-Deceit

For Fans of: that feeling inside of you when you know that you've done something wrong and you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, waking up and not being able to move your body as you freak out about the existential implications of willing oneself to move without any response, the anxiety induced by that fact that at any moment the world could be destroyed by nuclear arms, your right hand cutting off your left hand if it should dishonor you.

Silent Scream-Public Execution

For fans of: Being a post-punk/80's throwback, being unemployed, writing an under appreciated music blog that you should really update more often, early Swans

This is by far one of the best albums I have heard all year. This hardly known Finnish post-punk act destroyed all competition in my mind by releasing an album that revived a genre that many thought was long dead (I mean, whatever, Savages did that as well I guess). Silent Scream channels the dark era of post-punk in stark contrast to the modern post-punk acts like The Arctic Monkeys or Interpol(great bands certainly, but I think there is a lot of unexplored territory within the so called "post-punk revival" movement). Serving as a medium for such diverse acts as Siouxsie and the Banshees, Swans, and PIL this band is able to deliver an album that resurrects both the alienating and the dance-pop aspects of post-punk. Essentially, they made an album in 2012 that catered exactly to my tastes that I just found out about so I'm going to rave. Please go support this band, keep Goth alive so I can keep finding material for my blog (Also, Rotten Days is so simultaneously punk-funk and heavy industrial Swans that Silent Scream deserve all your money anyway)
