Review: Hexed – Pagans Rising
Bog-standard symphonic metal with excellent vocals and decent production.

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: An Abstract Illusion – Woe
A sophomore album so massive it took two reviewers to conquer it!

Review: Clayshaper – Vampiric
The Shaper conjures up something wicked in his debut album but evil tends to come at a price…

Review: Loch Vostok – Opus Ferox – The Great Escape
Quality writing has no genre, and it carries this album that somehow manages to have no identity for 48 minutes and still be good.

Review: Scythelord – Earth Boiling Dystopia
Progressive dystopian-space-thrash that isn’t a Vektor clone. A must-listen.
Album Reviews
Review: Eye of Purgatory – The Lighthouse
Melodic death that is heavy, not overindulgent, and well-balanced.

Review: Descend – The Deviant
Descend may be the band that us Opeth fans have been looking for all these years. This is an album that is truly remarkable. A faithful continuation of Opeth’s formula all while keeping updated with the meta of twenty years of progressive death metal.
