Desolate Shrine – Deliverance From the Godless Void
Long winded stories aside, and blackened references duly noted, have at least some faith in me that this is good. Oh so good.
Paroxsihzem – Abyss of Excruciating Vexes
If blackened death that sounds as if it has taken a millennium to seep up through the very crust of the Earth sounds like your kind of thing, then I can highly recommend that you get your filthy muckraking hands upon this release.
Undercroft – The Seventh Hex
This is Death crossed with Thrash crossed with Awesome.
H2SO4 – British Bangala Testament
The past is gone, the New Testament has been written, and H2S04 are here bringing us their own chemistry. Four songs of the finest Thrash Metal ever written.
Freaky Jelly – Reverse
Lovers of progressive rock by nature will delight in the sounds of Moog synthesizers, skittering time signatures, churning bass figures, and soaring guitar runs.
Pale Horseman – The Fourth Seal
Making a name for themselves in the MidWest over the last few years, Pale Horseman is one of the next big things to hit the national stage, all with no label backing them.
Fragarak – A Spectral Oblivion
This is the future of Death Metal and India deserves to be on the pedestal as the country producing the very best.
Gutslit – Amputheatre
Since its founding in 2007, Gutslit has been brutalizing Eurasia with its masterful technique and lyrics.
Aeolith – Remnants of a Future Past
Transitioning from high speed guitars to slow grinding doom-ish sections, the tempo changes are music to my ears.
The Revenant – The Walk Through The Shadow of Death
Given their burly mix of sounds, one might call them extreme gutter metal or perhaps filthy murder thrash. In fact, at various points on the album, one can find elements of thrash, old school death metal, hints of black metal, and even an occasional touch of grindcore.
