Ulcerate – Stare Into Death and Be Still
Overall, Stare into Death and Be Still is a special record; one that defines a turning point in the band’s career.
Kool Kieth x Thetan – Space Goretex
A reality TV star is president, an extremely infectious disease is ravaging the entire earth, and an old rapper makes new music with a noisecore band from the south. You couldn’t make this shit up.
Sovereign – Neurotic
The result is a record that you WANT to revisit again and again;
156/SILENCE – Irrational Pull
Overall, the Irrational Pull album is a solid addition to the hardcore genre that may not reinvent the wheel, but definitely polishes the hubcap some.
Swamp Witch – Dead Rituals
It’s nasty, caustic stuff, and really I mean that in the best way possible.
Moto – Underground
On Underground, Moto continue to create unique music that is so much greater than the sum of its parts.
Violent Opposition – Utopia/Dystopia
Utopia/Dystopia makes me feel out of control, off balance, angry, lost, belligerent, and more, all at once.
Deathstorm – The Unfathomable
…a triumphant masterpiece, drawing the listener forward in a measured way, all while also channeling the utter chaos of the void.
Misanthropic Rage – Igne Natura Renovatur Integra
The rest of the album, and the rest of the opening track, is this weird hybrid of experimental Black and Death Metal.
Decoherence – Ekpyrosis
Ekpyrosis rises from the deepest pit of the void, a creature unleashed to slither forth upon the unsuspecting masses.
