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: 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: Temenigru – Terminal
Terminal is filled with great ideas, but it scarcely gives any of them the time they deserve.

Review: Code – Flyblown Prince
Rough around the edges, but a refreshingly progressive and atmospheric black metal beast

Review: Esoctrilihum – Dy’th Requiem For The Serpent Telepath
Yet another banger from one of the most prolific, ambitious, and talented artists in the French black metal scene.

Review: Dordeduh – Har
A dreamy black metal experience from Romania setting off to take you on a most wondrous journey

Review: Stone Healer – Conquistador
An unlikely but outstanding combination of Opethian grunge and blackened mindfuckery that’s honest, soulful, and relentlessly engaging.

Review: Cicada the Burrower – Corpseflower
This is a truly magical and utterly unique album filled with lush, mellow, hypnotic soundscapes that eerily distort themselves into blackened, pained harshness, without skipping a jazzy beat. You need to hear it to believe it.

Review: Æthĕrĭa Conscĭentĭa – Corrupted Pillars of Vanity
Sci-fi themed progressive black metal with massive dynamics, riffs, and jazzy saxophone? Yes please.
