Review: Scythelord – Earth Boiling Dystopia
Progressive dystopian-space-thrash that isn’t a Vektor clone. A must-listen.
Album Reviews
Review: Atvm – Famine, Putrid and Fucking Endless
A refreshingly unique take on death metal, offering playful riffs and outstanding bass. Unpretentious but undeniably technical, with ideas that are allowed to really, fully develop, in a way that breeds an almost psychedelic atmosphere without reliance on any tropes of the ‘psychedelic’ label. The mix is pristine, the songwriting is excellent. This is absolutely fucking fantastic.

Review: Kaupe – Cognitive Dissonance
Fun, bite-sized instrumental pieces from the depths of Florida.

Review: Demoniac – So It Goes
Chilean thrashers Demoniac begin the year with an absolute ripper of an album, with a few unique twists guaranteed to make your head bang.

Review: Scarred – Scarred
When an absurd variety of metal influences form a progressive metal soup, one must ask: do too many subgenres spoil the broth?
Album Reviews
Review: Wowod – Yarost’ I Proshchenie
A hybrid-album of sorts, bound to please those that crave both speed and lack thereof.

Review: The Spectre Beneath – The New Identity of Sidney Stone
Once again, they’ve found a nice spot between quirkiness and traditional metal that only sounds like themselves.
Album Reviews
Review: Subconscious – The Inevitable
A death/thrash blend that falls a bit flat in more ways than one.

Review: Manticora – To Live to Kill to Live
This must be the heaviest power metal album ever recorded up till now.
