Replicant – Malignant Reality
If we had a rating system, 10 out of 5. We don’t, so just let this shovel you around the face and see if I’m wrong.
King Woman – Celestial Blues
From the thunderous energy of “Coil” to the chugging thwacks that accompany the heart-wrenching lyrics of “Ruse,” this album has a little something for everybody.
Impossitor – Another Day, Another Doldrum
This whole album sounds like a fast-paced summer road trip (complete with all the flat tires and sugary gas station snacks) wrapped up into 11 tunes. Turn it up, drive fast, and roll the windows down!
Dread Maw – Libations of Blood
The six tracks account for about seventeen minutes of runtime, every second of which twists and turns your psyche in delightfully disturbing ways.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Veilburner – In The Tomb Of Dreaming Limbo
…if you like to challenge yourself and your psyche, this release is on par with anything else released this year, at the top of the pile of the viscerally bizarre.
Sleep Waker – Alias
…as in a dream world, the album is a deep mix of different concepts both musically and conceptually that would seem confusing outside of dreamworld. Yet here, they make perfect sense.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Confused – Get Wasted
Get Wasted thrashes hard, the way crossover is supposed to, with a ton of hardcore punk attitude and energy.
Disimperium – Malefic Obliteration
The EP has the ominous intent of black metal, the thick swampiness of dissonant death metal, and the feral abrasion of grindcore.
