Review: Enezothe – Consensus Reality
This album would have been a better fit in 2010.
Review: Firtan – Marter
Firtan express bleak lyrical prose in a way only the German language can convey and combine it with a somber atmospheric black metal tonality.
Review: Condemned-AD – Follow a Failing Leader
Condemned-AD delivers an energetic thrash metal ride that certainly entertains, but that teases a measure of complexity it fails to ever really develop.
Review: Zemeth – Loneliness
Another day, another underrated Japanese guitar god slinging out hot neo-romantic solos. It’s like if Galneryus were high on caffeine and had harsh vocals.
Review: Upon a Fields Whisper – Sorry For Your Loss
A solid crust punk outing that deviates from the norms of the genre enough to be interesting for prog metal heads.
Review: Aethereus – Leiden
A beautiful blend of melody and dissonance.
Review: Vivid Illusion – Vivid Illusion
A college essay of an album, presented to the class of post black 101 (Taught by Neige)
Review: Deviant Process – Nurture
Deliciously proggy techdeath with palpable Cynic influences.
Review: The Silver – Ward of Roses
Horrendous and Crypt Sermon members team up for one of the most daring black metal records of the year
Review: Diskord – Degenerations
Extremely bonkers death metal that somehow just works.
