The Exploding Eyes Orchestra – II
a fusion of somber lullabies and bass-heavy anthems
Great Reversals – Stalactite
Great Reversals infuses an emotional complexity to their music which makes them stand out from their contemporaries
Cloud Rat – Clipped Beaks/Silk Panic
one of the most daring bands in music right
Valkyria – Tierra Hostil
an aggressive and guitar-driven power metal band
Master – Vindictive Miscreant
The trio are individually masters of their craft, but also well schooled in composition. Every piece fits as it should in this old school thrashing death masterpiece.
Scorched – Ecliptic Butchery
Hearing this new album confirms what I theorized then, that Scorched is capable of becoming the new face of American death metal.
Lizzies – On Thin Ice
all-female Madrid-based quartet wears their hard-rocking roots on their denim-clad sleeves, infused with a sizable dose of punkified piss and vinegar.
Morgue Walker – Forage the Ash
If you like your death metal blackened, grinding and filthy, this one’s for you!
Grog – Macabre Requiems
massive riffs, guttural growls and gut churning insanity
Behemoth – I Loved You At Your Darkest
Audiophiles rejoice; this is the best sounding black metal album to date
