Review: Khabal – The Divine Deception
This blackened deathcore album will chill you with its brutally crushing downtuned riffs, and agonizing gutturals. If you’re not mentally prepared for this album, I’d turn elsewhere.

A solid atmospheric, djenty debut album from a small band in Minnesota.

Review: Rust Belt Gothic – Collapsar
This is a bit of an experimental album combining electronic, power metal, and prog metal influences.

Review: Papangu – Holoceno
An incredibly musically ambitious album that is executed as well as it is envisioned. 7 years in the making, Holoceno combines progressive sludge metal with elements of avant garde and zeuhl.

From past to present, Timescape showcases quality songwriting whose influences originate throughout the prog rock and metal hemisphere.

Review: Canvas Solaris – Chromosphere
One of the most technical albums of the year. Canvas Solaris returns with no loss of guitar shredding and complex riffs. Now with some tech-thrash influences.

Review: Mothman and the Thunderbirds – Into the Hollow
A fun album about the uncovering of some of the world’s most hidden conspiracies. This is a decent edition for collectors of progressive stoner/sludge metal.

Review: Pentral – What Lies Ahead of Us
A surprisingly progressive album about the struggles of urban life. This is heavy metal done right.
