Rage and Frustration

Chaos – All Against All

These guys can hang with the best of the Thrash giants in my opinion, rivaling sounds of Exodus and Testament with ease.

Echotime – Side

True appreciation of everything Side sets out to do will require quite a commitment.

MRTVI – Negative Atonal Dissonance

With a broad brush stroke, MRTVI paints a decidedly finite portrait on the ever growing and ever evolving landscape of contemporary black metal.

Ghost Bath – Starmourner (Review and Interview)

I feel that this album is going to be divisive on several levels. It’s not a true “anything”. It has elements of so many different genres, that I think it’s going to appeal to anyone with an open mind regarding what genres belong in heavy music today.

Red Moon Architect – Return of the Black Butterflies

It’s my first Red Moon Architect experience, and I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting this to be so melodic. Everything is very dark and gloomy.

Nad Sylvan – The Bride Said No

At the heart of the songs are the sophisticated yet engaging melodies, delivered by Sylvan’s slightly pained alto.

Lonely Robot – The Big Dream

Prog fans, please come out of the shadows if you haven’t already. Music like The Big Dream should reinforce your conviction to the idea that you were never wrong to love what you love in the first place, the world be damned.

Decibel Tour Review – House of Blues, Chicago

I must say Obituary really stole the show in my opinion. Super crisp sounding, everything I wanted to hear pretty much.

Jesters of Destiny – The Sorrows That Refuse To Drown

rising from the ashes, this legendary psych-metal group proves they’ll be quiet no longer in this monumental comeback album that is over 30 year in the making.

Rajalla – Diktaattori

This is just some pure Finnish metal right to the core, amazingly heavy and energetic. I can’t seem to stop listening to it.

Bear Mace – Butchering the Colossus

Beware, this may bring out the mosh monster in you.

Warcrab – Scars of Aeons

Warcrab gives us a dark, brooding masterpiece without flaw. Too few will hear this album this year, but it will certainly find it’s way high up on my year end list.

All Hell – The Grave Alchemist

By sticking to their aggressive, old-school evil and almost European style of metal, all while remaining ungodly catchy and heavy, they make it nearly impossible to catch your breath from track to track.

The Furor – Cavalries of the Occult

Musically, the album is so dynamic and unpredictable, it very nearly defies classification. To say that it is a mix of black and death metal, while true, does not do justice to what you hear when you listen.
