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: 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.

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.

An exciting debut occasionally marred by overzealous style shifts.

This is a bit of an experimental album combining electronic, power metal, and prog metal influences.

Review: Eye of Purgatory – The Lighthouse
Melodic death that is heavy, not overindulgent, and well-balanced.
