Cryptic Shift – Visitations From Enceladus
From the very opening notes, it is obvious that Cryptic Shift is about to take you far, far away from Planet Earth.
Various Artists – A Fistful MORE of Rock n’ Roll, Vol. 3
This volume might just go down as my preferred comp ever.
Soulmass – The Weakness of Virtue
There is a burning sense of ominous intent throughout the release, yet the primary emotion seems to be one of grief, fitting for a game where the primary experience is death.
Golden Ashes – In the Lugubrious Silence of Eternal Night
…and turns it into an almost panic inducing feeling.
Black Falcon – Ego Mortem Machina
They have genuine creative minds and force both resonant and threatening…
Vile Creature – Glory, Glory! Apathy Took Helm!
Hearing it will not be enough, but if you do hear it, you will feel it.
The Cheats – Cussin, Crying N’ Carrying On
To tune in to The Cheats is to encounter more than essentially a blast of flammable gen X rage, but to observe the codification of another type of melodic craftsmanship.
Sepulchral Curse – Only Ashes Remain
This album could probably beat up your dad and older brother combined.
Graceless – Where Vultures Know Your Name
There’s a storm thundering in the distance and I’m not sure I’ll survive.
Blight – Temple of Wounds
The music they create together is nothing short of sorcery.
