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: 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.

Review: Quiet – …and so it was
An exciting debut occasionally marred by overzealous style shifts.

A modern, melodic take on traditional progressive death metal

Review: Boss Keloid – Family The Smiling Thrush
An excellent and multifaceted album that blends together psychedelic stoner metal, sludge, and prog rock for a heavy, groovy, uniquely uplifting trip.

Review: Atvm – Famine, Putrid and Fucking Endless
A refreshingly unique take on death metal, offering playful riffs and outstanding bass. Unpretentious but undeniably technical, with ideas that are allowed to really, fully develop, in a way that breeds an almost psychedelic atmosphere without reliance on any tropes of the ‘psychedelic’ label. The mix is pristine, the songwriting is excellent. This is absolutely fucking fantastic.
