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.
Review: Crown Compass – The Drought
A thrashy piece of work with a deathier twist, composed of musicians from Cynic, Exivious, Textures, and Pestilence.
Review: 1000 Bone Cylinder Explosion – Bind
Take a moment to admire that artwork. That alone deserves an 11/10.
Review: Exxperior – Escalating Conflicts
If you are looking for something to fill the shoes of Devin Townsend (at least until his next release), then look no further! Exxperior might be exactly what you are looking for; goofy, fun, and heavy!
Review: Overtoun – This Darkness Feels Alive
Overtoun’s back must be hurting from the weight of all the OSDM bands they are carrying to the new era of metal.
Review: URNE – SERPENT & SPIRIT
An absolute sludge metal riff factory with shades of thrash and hardcore.
Review: Scythelord – Earth Boiling Dystopia
Progressive dystopian-space-thrash that isn’t a Vektor clone. A must-listen.
