Fun fact: Damian Master’s one-man band A Pregnant Light has actually been featured in the Black Market more than any other artist. And there’s more to Master than A Pregnant Light. The man is insanely prolific — in addition to releasing more than a dozen APL EPs and splits in the space of just a couple years, he performs in Aksumite, This Station Of Life, Bound Bible, and more, all of which are damn good, punishingly heavy, and well worth your time. A Pregnant Light is Master’s more emotionally raw and experimental baby, though, and it’s his best. Despite those dozen-plus APL releases, My Game Doesn’t Have A Name is APL’s first full-length, and it’s awesome. And it could fit in anywhere — A Pregnant Light have moved further away from their black metal beginnings with each successive release, forging their own unique mix of incredibly catchy pop hooks, melodic hardcore, post-punk, and of course black metal. My Game Doesn’t Have A Name is the purest expression yet of this sound, which Master calls “purple metal.” Categories aside, this is one of the best things you could’ve heard this year. –Wyatt [LISTEN]
