Review: Fall of Stasis – The Chronophagist
Tech death musician tries to write about an album that’s not really tech death. Fails miserably. More at 11.

Review: Burned in Effigy – Rex Mortem
A young band to watch, debuting with well-balanced melodeath full of technical and neoclassical elements

Review: Dessiderium – Aria
A great progressive death album with a hint of optimism instead of the usual entirely brooding fare.

Review: Prognostication – Collapse
Finally! A progressive technical death album with some true melodic flair and a styling of Native Construct and similar artists in the cleaner sections.

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