Review: Godeater – Vespera
With more focus on the tech, this deathcore band could shred their way to Xenobiotic levels of cool.
Review: Barn – Habitat
Barn’s Habitat is the ideal way for kids born in the 90’s and later to experience old school death metal.
Review: Parthian – Desolation of a Ceaseless Dawn
Parthian exceed superficial expectations with their level of songwriting coherency and proficiency, establishing a Lovecraftian narrative and hitting home with excellent, diverse compositional material.
Review: Xenobiotic – Hate Monolith
Xenobiotic’s new brutally heavy EP shows great promise for the band’s future!
Review: Humaniac – Until The Light Fakes Us
Another tech-death album for the pile.
Review: Aronious – Irkalla
The slinky dissonance of Aethereus collides with the technicality of the Deviant Process at a million miles per hour. This is The Artisan Era-core to a tee.
Review: Dusk Chapel – Astrophysics And Abnormal Activities
A complex and intricate release, Dusk Chapel’s Astrophysics And Abnormal Activities finds its place firmly among established names in the genre.
Review: Stengah – Soma Sema
“While we all have lots of bands who influence still, we all rip off Meshuggah!” – Devin Townsend Project
Review: Aethereus – Leiden
A beautiful blend of melody and dissonance.
Review: Burned in Effigy – Rex Mortem
A young band to watch, debuting with well-balanced melodeath full of technical and neoclassical elements
