Review: Crown Compass – The Drought
A thrashy piece of work with a deathier twist, composed of musicians from Cynic, Exivious, Textures, and Pestilence.

Take a moment to admire that artwork. That alone deserves an 11/10.
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!
Overtoun’s back must be hurting from the weight of all the OSDM bands they are carrying to the new era of metal.
An absolute sludge metal riff factory with shades of thrash and hardcore.
Progressive dystopian-space-thrash that isn’t a Vektor clone. A must-listen.
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.
Fun, bite-sized instrumental pieces from the depths of Florida.
Chilean thrashers Demoniac begin the year with an absolute ripper of an album, with a few unique twists guaranteed to make your head bang.
