Starer – Wind, Breeze, or Breath
Starer can basically do know wrong. Each album is part of a cohesive sound, yet each also has its own unique elements.
Psionic Madness – Rotting Dominion
Big props to the guys for creating such a monumental release and in my opinion one of the best death metal releases of 2022.
EXCLUSIVE DUAL TRACK PREMIERE: Organ Dealer – Truth Blinders/Endless Despondence
The attack on The Weight of Being is poignant and powerful, both lyrically and sonically.
Gossamer – The Culling of Crones
The weight of the subject matter, the strength of the composition, and the rugged excellence of the playing make this an album worth many repeat spins.
Krigsgrav – Fires in the Fall
The trio have concocted a rich, fiery atmosphere which holds all manner of imagined evil in the shadows and contours of the riffs.
Trhä- mã Hèshiva õn dahh Khata trhândlha vand ëfd datnen Aghen Ecíës drhãtdlhan savd
The morose guitar riffs, the extravagant transitions, and shrieking vocal performances prove that black metal doesn’t always need to adhere to traditional standards.
Swamp Fiend – Smoke Weed, Hail Satan
At its core, bluesy stoner riffs carry along both clean and harsh vocals, and are anchored by an incredibly heavy bottom end.
Torture Rack- Primeval Onslaught
All in all this is the band’s best offering thus far. There’s no shelter. There’s no safety.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Perfumed Saturnine Angels – Bow Down to Your Black Hole
Skronky riffs ride the bass like a cowboy on a bull, except it’s the cowboy (guitars) that is wild.
Project: Roenwolfe – Project: Roenwolfe
The album has incredible staying power, both in terms of earworm riffs that stay with me throughout the day, and the urge to listen repeatedly, even back to back.
