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.

Review: Giant’s Knife – Oracle
A solid atmospheric, djenty debut album from a small band in Minnesota.

Review: No Living Witness – Cosmic Simulacra
A very unique, genre-bending take on black/death.

Review: Noctambulist – The Barren Form
Dynamic, technical dissodeath offering a bleak, suffocating, atmospheric take on a crowded genre.

Review: URNE – SERPENT & SPIRIT
An absolute sludge metal riff factory with shades of thrash and hardcore.
Album Reviews
Review: Voland – Voland III: Царепоклонство – Il culto degli Zar
Both members have done a great job of taking a less-traveled subject in metal and portraying it with every tool at their disposal.
Lost in Time
Lost in Time: Los Jaivas – Alturas de Macchu Picchu
One of the very highlights of South American prog, with a unique way of integrating Andes folk ingredients to the mix.

Review: Syncatto – A Place to Breathe
A fantastic blend of classical and metal that makes for the most interesting instrumental album of the year.

Review: Scythelord – Earth Boiling Dystopia
Progressive dystopian-space-thrash that isn’t a Vektor clone. A must-listen.
