Terminal Nation – Holocene Extinction
While the band is musically ugly, confrontational, and catastrophic, it is ultimately just the Mad Max vehicle for their message.
Gravecoven – Coughing Blood
The whole album is bleak and hopeless, yet incredibly, viscerally powerful.
Adzes – No One Wants To Speak About It
Listening might be something akin to swimming in the icy waters off the coast of Seattle, home of the artist.
Forêt Endormie – Une voile déchirée
On Une voile déchirée, this collective of talented artists find a different path to heavy.
Ôros Kaù – Imperii Templum Aries
…swirling and hypnotic, a psychedelic blend of avantgarde black metal chaos worship.
Eremit – Desert of Ghouls
Monolithic, yet with catchy riffs and foot tapping rhythms, the band treads a fine line on the release, pulling off masterfully what sounds like it could have been a yawner on paper.
Xythlia – Immortality Through Quantum Suicide
It’s ludicrous, anxious fervor that is performed with an unparalleled intensity and crafted proficiency.
0% Hate – At The Mercy Of Our Own
Staccato riffs reside alongside passages of technical proficiency all delivered with the crushing brutality of death metal.
FEATURE: Heathen Beast – The Revolution Will Not Be Televised But It Will Be Heard
the obvious answer is rage, and the band certainly rages on The Revolution Will Not Be Televised But It Will Be Heard.
Battle Dagorath – Abyss Horizons
This dismal imagery fits well into the usual black metal motif and creates a tone for the celestial void to be unleashed.
