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.
Wormwood – Mooncurse
Together, they create a rhythmic joyride down a cheese grater.
Rig Time – War!
War is there to sound the clarion call that we are perhaps already at war. This is visceral, angry, political punk rock, screamed straight from the heart, metal style.
Agusa – Agusa
I could easily see them as an opening act for King Crimson on the Red tour. Not as dark or brooding, but just as adventurous in the places they are willing to let the song go to.
Gnaw – Cutting Pieces
However jarring, Cutting Pieces is a great example of how artful noise metal can be.
Brandon Seabrook’s Needle Driver – Needle Driver
Scorching solos, bone crushing chord progressions, and hanging onto one note so long it makes an uncomfortably long Family Guy joke look tame
Auroch – From Forgotten Worlds (Re-Issue)
It has been made with the pure integrity of a band that has no other intention than to spread the good word that is Death Metal to us all.
Silvertomb – New Band Profile
A new band composed of veterans.
