Review: Medevil – Mirror in the Darkness
Medevil’s latest offering of epic heavy metal takes a familiar formula and sprinkles it with some flourishes but does little to innovate upon it.
Review: Enopolis – ISIHASTIKA
An instructive case study in how not to write music.
Review: Anarchÿ – Retching Necropolis
Anarchÿ teases with a couple of morsels for those of you hungering for more epic, progressive, sometimes-neoclassical-thrash metal debauchery. And for dessert: sludge.
Review: Quasarborn – Novo Oružje Protiv Bola
Belgrade, new thrash capital of Europe? Quasarborn pull no punches on this pounding release!
Review: Raze The Void – Para Sempre
Brits bringing a hefty mix of thrash, maths, and melodic death. Kitchen sink included.
Review: Anarchÿ – Sentïence
Anarchÿ’s first full-length is complex, aggressive, and melodic, and contains a nearly 32-minute thrash metal epic. Sentïence truly is an album like few others.
Review: Arsena – Blood Rusted Mother Earth
Band with designs on genre defying progressive experimentation release a straight thrash album instead.
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: VENUS – Project Lamda
Greek thrash metallers VENUS bring to life their first release Project Lamda with a high-intensity, technical ferocity.
Review: Bonus – Disyuntiva
Power metal with harsh vocals just doesn’t work too well, but Disyuntiva is a fun album from a new band.
