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

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: Polars Collide – Grotesque
The best groove metal album to come out over the past couple years. This is will please headbangers and Meshuggah fans alike.

Review: Grorr – Ddulden’s Last Flight
A 36 minute “one-track-feel” album that blends djenty melodies and oriental undertones. Does it work though?

Djent from Sweden that breathes fresh life into a tired genre.

An atmospheric instrumental sound that cuts right between modern prog metal and post-rock. Great background music.
