Dawn Ray’d – The Unlawful Assembly
Dawn Ray’d plays an atmospheric style that is too raw to be atmospheric black metal.
Low Estate – Covert Cult of Death
Intriguing. Bizarre. Lots of push-pull dynamic with changes that come out of nowhere, but seem organic.
Sorcerer – The Crowning of the Fire King
…the band plays an intriguing mix of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and J.R.R. Tolkein.
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.
