Review: Scattered Storm – Oblivion
Quality musicianship dragged down by poor mixing and a lack of originality.

Review: Gravestone – Ars Arcana
The songs take a lot of strange turns, with chord changes and melodies never quite leading where you expect, but ending up somewhere tasteful nonetheless.

Review: Ophidian I – Desolate
One of the most impressive tech-death albums I’ve ever heard, with absolutely blistering guitarwork and great songwriting to boot!

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: 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.
