Xaoc did just that with their latest chunk of deathly delight, Proxime Mortis. There’s nothing quite like trying out a death metal record and discovering that the very first song is probably the embiggenedest thing on the planet. Despite a mild case of bloat here and there, I anticipate this entry will resonate with anyone looking for a little extra in their black metal.
SLIME OBSIDIAN FULL
Chock full of sick hooks (“Te Aka Tamaki,” “Tohitika,” “Tomo Te Aho”), menacing groove (“Tokerau Rua”), and boundless energy (“Komeri a Kamahi”), Marako Te Ruki earns a well deserved spotlight as a standout black metal release. Joining the party, Te Ruki‘s exciting Marako Te Ruki offers the world a vital breath of West Polynesian air to enliven their vicious black metal. Thus far, we’ve heard the Wild West-inspired Vital Spirit, the blossoming of Nechochwen‘s native heritage, and the Mexican tribalism embedded within Tzompantli. We seem to be experiencing a major influx of cultural enrichment this year, brought to our ears in the form of extreme metal fused with the aesthetics and spirit of regions not typically explored in heavy music. In other words, by fearlessly splicing brutal heft with exuberant melody and murderous mirth, Pharmacist created something creatively intriguing and extremely rewarding with Flourishing Extremities on Unspoiled Mental Grounds. Nearly as disgusting and massive as Devourment‘s Obscene Majesty, but faster and probably meaner, cuts such as “Accelerating Suppuration,” “Necromorph,” “The Great Contractor,” and the title track are all incredibly likely to cause fatal blunt force trauma-but also sing an oddly pleasant tune in the process. While it’s definitely about ten minutes too long, there isn’t a single minute that isn’t worth its weight in rotting flesh.

Speaking of carcasses, have you heard the new Pharmacist yet? Fuck yeah, you have, you greedy bastards! I have too, as you would assume, and it’s precisely the kind of Carcass-y deathgrind that I wanted. TheKenWord’s Congealed Carcasses Pharmacist – Flourishing Extremities On Unspoiled Mental Grounds Yet, we soldier on, for you ungrateful goblins who demand MOAR. 1 It’s dirty work, but it’s an honest paycheck of zero dollars and zero cents. As the resident sponge, I assume the primary responsibility for herding the writing talent into these tight metal corridors, leading the way as we all get covered in thirty day’s worth of dead skin, even deader rodents, and this weird yellow slime that seems to ooze from nearly every seam. In the cases where there was a range of IOR values for a specific material I have listed the lower value on the left and the upper range value on the right.Another month, another disgusting panel to unhinge, and another tunnel to de-grime. The next list is the full complete list of hundreds of materials and it is organized alphabetically by material name. The first group contains many commonly used materials. It is for general usage in 3d applications only and not for scientific use. Please do not take this list to be a scientifically accurate list. You should be able to use these values in many different 3d applications - such as NewTek Lightwave 3d, Blender 3d, Autodesk 3DS Max, Autodesk Maya, Maxon Cinema 4D, Next Limit Maxwell, The Foundry Modo and Strata 3d. It obviously helps if you know what the correct IOR value is for the type of surface you are trying to re-create.

Many 3d applications these days allow you to input actual IOR values in order to achieve a more accurate representation of surfaces during rendering of your 3d models. Over the years I have been collecting IOR (Index of Refraction) values I can find for use in 3d rendering applications.
