Old Man Wizard – Blame It All On Sorcery
classical inspired medieval themes to pure thrash grooves
Entransient – The Weight of Things
Monster riffs, sing along choruses, head bobbing time changes, and super tight grooves
Torturized – Omnivore
Omnivore becomes something of controlled chaos then, where anything can happen, but only within the cage built for the beast.
Ezerath – Overture: The Heir Apparent
The album is certainly a cohesive whole with an epic feel. There are dark moments, triumphant moments, emotional moments.
1000 Yard Stare – Parasites
While I don’t think Parasites fully captures everything they were live, it is a solid album with some exceptional moments. (SEE THEM LIVE!!!!)
Lark – Lark
Thick and melodic, this EP is a treat.
Moonlight Prophecy – Vanquished
Erie, dark, and foreboding emotions run throughout.
Madrost – The Essence of Time Matches No Flesh
In short, The Essence of Time Matches No Flesh absolutely rips, but often in surprising ways.
Apotheon – Mechanically Consumed
I think its also fair to predict, though, that I will continue to pull this album out when a certain mood hits me. It is undeniably intelligent and well done and deserves recognition as such.
Aetheric – Serpents Beneath the Shrine
So, to review, we have excellent playing that actually moves the listener, top notch vocals, and conscious lyrics? Full support from this writer.
