Rage and Frustration

Agusa – Agusa

I could easily see them as an opening act for King Crimson on the Red tour. Not as dark or brooding, but just as adventurous in the places they are willing to let the song go to.

Gnaw – Cutting Pieces

However jarring, Cutting Pieces is a great example of how artful noise metal can be.

Brandon Seabrook’s Needle Driver – Needle Driver

Scorching solos, bone crushing chord progressions, and hanging onto one note so long it makes an uncomfortably long Family Guy joke look tame

Auroch – From Forgotten Worlds (Re-Issue)

It has been made with the pure integrity of a band that has no other intention than to spread the good word that is Death Metal to us all.

Silvertomb – New Band Profile

A new band composed of veterans.

Antiversum – Cosmos Comedenti

Sitting outside on a sunny day would be no antidote if listening to Cosmos Comedenti. The listener would still be locked into the darkness of the void.

Amenra – Mass VI

There are long stretches of calm, though not pleasant or happy, passages, interrupted by massive brutality and intensity.

Sicarius – Serenade of Slitting Throats

They may represent a new leaner, meaner strain of USBM than what we’ve seen before. Bold words about a band on their debut full length, but Serenade of Slitting Throats is that impressive.

Spectral Voice – Eroded Corridors of Unbeing

The US quartet takes their time to carve you apart, working away at you psyche with any number of torturous implements, leaving you changed and not knowing how you got there.

Belus – Apophenia

Come Back From The Dead – Caro Data Vermibus

These four thick slabs of blue rare (not quite raw, you see) death metal flesh are meant for those with a hearty appetite for brutality of the time tested variety.

The Walking Dead Orchestra – Resurrect

TWDO bring us a solid slab of Death Metal tinged with a little bit of everything Death related…

pfm (Premiata Forneria Marconi) – Emotional Tattoos

Pfm have put so much forethought into lyrical rhythms and how they function in each language that I daresay that this is possibly the best multilanguage double album ever released.

Heyoka’s Mirror – Face of Void Track Stream

A new track from a new-ish Canadian band that mixes progressive rock with some elements of melodic death metal.
