Subterraen – Rotten Human Kingdom
Above all else, Rotten Human Kingdom is a pissed off beast of an album, a creature formed from the earth itself, sent forth by its mother for the vengeance so richly deserved.
Heads For The Dead – Into The Red
I’m craving for your blood
Eremit – Desert of Ghouls
Monolithic, yet with catchy riffs and foot tapping rhythms, the band treads a fine line on the release, pulling off masterfully what sounds like it could have been a yawner on paper.
Atræ Bilis – Divinihility
Divinihility is a brief masterpiece of angular, chaotic mayhem.
Crypts of Despair – All Light Is Swallowed
All Light Is Swallowed is less of an album and more of a channeling of eviscerating darkness.
Sepulchral Curse – Only Ashes Remain
This album could probably beat up your dad and older brother combined.
Henry Kane – Age Of The Idiot
Angry, disturbed, ominous, triumphant…this album is all of those things, and more.
Medium – Medium
Equally capable of drawing you into a zone of thoughtful contemplation, as they are able to straight up punch you in the mouth, repeat listens reveal a quality of craftsmanship that I missed in my first listen.
Wardaemonic – Acts of Repentance
Acts of Repentance exhibits an inferno which is supernatural, audibly from above, fittingly daemonic.
Warcrab – Damned In Endless Night
Where Scars of Aeons was dark and heavy, with a groove that took you by the hand to lead you to the abyss, Damned In Endless Night instead pushing you forward and scourges you ever deeper down.
