Occult Metal and Cold Electronics

This week on the Needle Drop, we visit the latest album from metal occultists Blood Ceremony. Living With the Ancients not only spins tales about witches and demons, but they do it using the heavy guitar riffs of Black Sabbath and the folky flute timbres of Jethro Tull. It's the Anderson and Iommi collaboration that should have been.

We've also got new solo material from Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, and electronics hailing from Germany via Kangding Ray's latest album, OR.
