Altar of Oblivion – Barren Grounds
Each of the melodies presented in the songs give you a sense of longing. The slow melodic guitar presented in the songs allows you to feel the pain that comes from sorrow in your life.
Swamp Witch – The Slithering Bog
While listening to the music, you find yourself taken on a journey through the lair of a witch. The bass lines within the songs are haunting and lure you deeper into the lair of the music and make you curious as to what is to come.
Motorowl – Om Generator
The album Om Generator is filled with some great feelings of nostalgia and new twists that make for a good album.
Morrow – Covenant of Teeth
Morrow have captured pure emotion and used it to create a texture of love and pain, hope, forgiveness, and desperation, sorrow and strength.
Cloud Rat – Discography 2010-2015
The three-piece … play an in your face style of highly charged, experimental grindcore.
Feral Light – A Sound of Moving Shields
Take past members of Wolvhammer, Empires, Manetheren, and Finger of Scorn. Stir until well blended. Mix in frosty Scandinavian black metal draughts of venom. Shake well. Sprinkle with British crusty gutter filth. Bake until bleak and urgent. Serve cold as death.
Pyramido – Vatten
Absolute Contempt is a fairly new label with only seven releases so far, but Daniel Zambrano, the owner, has a different vision for his releases. All proceeds from the label are going to cat rescue shelters.
Oblivion Circle – Oblivion Circle
I was immediately struck by the music. While Oblivion Circle doesn’t play straight-up black metal, they do play black metal with plenty of death metal influences and a ton of atmosphere.
Virus – Memento Collider
This is no simple strum-along–either take it as a challenge to figure out these knotty chords or surrender completely and let yourself dissolve in a wash of sound you may never be able break down or understand.
Tomb Mold – The Bottomless Perdition
There was so much gravel in the vocals that I had to empty my shoes at the end of the album.
