FROM THE SWAMPS

Not much is known about Wilburn Burchette, but apparently his music has been put into the spotlight by record collectors in recent years. And I believe for good reason! He custom-made his own guitar-like instrument ("impro guitar"), which he primarily used in his recordings, as well as a synthesizer. He released several albums over the course of the '70s, most of which being treatises on the occult, spiritual transcendence, and expanded states of consciousness. A lot of his records had full-color manuals included on how to listen to the music while in meditation, which is part of why his records are so valuable to collectors. This is his most well-known album, and I'm sure you will enjoy it if you like ambient music. It's dark and mysterious, while comforting at the same time, knowing this "Master" is guiding you via music through a spiritual realm that he seems to know well. Track Listing: 1.

Timeghoul was a death metal band from Missouri that redefined extreme metal for good. Though while they were together they never received the recognition they deserved (as it often goes), in recent years thanks to the internet their music has resurfaced, out of obscurity. They were very much ahead of their time, pioneering an atmospheric and "cerebral" brand of death metal, steeped with musicality, narrative, and experimentation in an era of generally simplistic and gore-obsessed death metal. Not that that stuff is bad or anything, but just saying. Without them, modern death metal bands like Blood Incantation and Chthe'ilist would surely not exist.
