dai-ichi – dai-ichi
Unrelentingly feral, listening to dai-ichi is akin to being stalked by a predator in the wild. They haven’t caught you yet, but when they do, you already understand the savagery that will ensue.
An Isolated Mind – Self Titled
What I like about this album most, is the serene tranquility that creates a false sense of hope before creating a wave of what I could only describe as a mournful bliss.
Under the Pledge of Secrecy – Empire of Bastards
Fortunately, Under the Pledge of Secrecy have mastered the science of mixing styles of extreme metal in their proper proportions. The result is certainly explosive, but in a very good way.
Nattverd – Styggdom
These guys are hellbent on bringing traditional malevolence to the sonic sphere, and this tome is an impressive body of work dedicated to the dark.
Thecodontion – Jurassic
The short EP is a strange, yet intriguing combination of heavy and fluidly graceful.
Starving For Death – Starving For Death EP
It’s beautiful and troublesome and let’s you feel the pain of the creator.
The Drowns – Under Tension
I can’t sit still even while I write this review in my local Starbucks. This is how I know this new release is a great punk album.
Kvaen – The Funeral Pyre
A brilliant send up to the 80s seeds of the black metal genre, thrash and speed metal bands that played with that extra edge of evil, while still maintaining a modern sound.
Sjálfsmorð af Gáleysi – The Ruins of Eden
Once you let yourself be immersed within the labyrinth realms of this one man band you’ll be reminded that it is coming from one of the top provider countries when it comes to modern but relentless Black Metal.
