Cauldron – New Gods
lethargic tempos, chiming arpeggios, resonant power chords
Dead Register – Captive
explores fistfuls of varying genres, from dreamy shoegaze, to a more post-gothic sound, to a slightly refined atmospheric metal
Monte Pittman – Between the Space
Those who dig their metal straight-forward and groovy should find plenty to enjoy
Alms – Act One
The slow dirge, and the feelings of your inevitable end
156/Silence – Undercover Scumbag
for the masses of angry, pissed-off people of the world.
Spacetrucker – Smooth Orbit
Sabbath-inspired doom riffs with abandon; but they also intersperse enough groove to make their songs as danceable as they are headbang-friendly.
Paragnosis – Clarity In Three (Redux)
atmospheric and esoteric, seemingly floating through a series of complex metal riffs, dissonant jazz chords, and subtle lead-guitar melodies laid atop a straightforward-yet-effective rhythmic foundation.
Pharoah- After the Fire
a seamless sonic smorgasbord of a blend of the best of U.S., British, and continental European metal styles.
Kadebra – Compass
Chelyabinsk, Russia and Indianapolis, Indiana? Two places that no one thought would be mentioned in connection with each other, let alone by such an excellent piece of cooperative heaviness
Statiqbloom – Infinite Spectre
Infinite Spectre is an ideal marriage of choppy electronic beats with abnormal, spine-chilling vocals.
