In Lingua Mortua – Salon Des Refusés
…the truth is that In Lingua Mortua sounds more like a journey to an imaginary soundtrack made by King Crimson, Emperor, Mayhem, Insahn and John Zorn all playing together in ensemble mode.
Zebulon Kosted – Never Return Again
Massive and sprawling, yet somehow tightly connected through the kinetics of the music, Never Return Again is journey through the cosmos that is equally a journey through the psyche of the listener.

Top Extreme Metal Of 2019 – from Ivan Gossage, Guest Contributor (Order Ov The Black Arts Admin)
Hails to The Order Ov The Black Arts, MoshPitNation, and any readers gracious enough to spend time reading what will follow. 2019 has been a hell of a year for extreme metal, and these are my top 57 picks of the year. There’s a hierarchy here, but only by tier......
Leprous – Pitfalls
It is heartwrenching, empathy inducing, and uplifting as fuck,
Buildings – Negative Sound
an album to give a jolt of life to what’s left of these dreary November days
Cloud Rat – Pollinator
Cloud Rat’s first LP in four years is worth every bit of the wait
Vastum – Orificial Purge
support women in death metal and buy this record
The Restarts – Uprising
The trio masterfully uses a wide variety of punk rock influences in a varied yet cohesive way. The riffing is strong, whether uplifting, aggressive, or dissonant (all of which appear). The rhythm section moves things along with a solidity that builds the foundation for the message.
Killswitch Engage – Atonement
an authentic and powerful feeling which allows for the 11 skilfully crafted tracks to develop their own personality.
City of Industry – Conspire Conspire Conspire
“John Suede is wrong. He’s also the weakest link in his own band.”
Chelsea Wolfe – Birth of Violence
the grooves are as sweet as the grasses sticky with dew and as beautifully structured as the trees anticipating the toss of their crisping leaves.
Tool – Fear Inoculum
Rating – 12/5. Rating – 3/5 How can there be two ratings? Read and find out.
Cable – Take the Stairs to Hell
congruent with the classic era of northeast noisecore
Mizmor – Cairn
an album to get lost in with its echoing soundscapes laden with flaring visions of traipsing through ochre-hued wastelands.
LORD – Fallen Idols
aggressive and high-precision aspects of extreme metal with infectious and anthemic choruses that border on AOR levels of sweet melodicism
Bodies on Everest/Lump Hammer – Whelmed Split Full Album Stream
Jump right in to the bizarre devastation that is Whelmed, then read on below the link to see how my views compare to yours.
Haunt – If Icarus Could Fly/Mosaic Eyes EP
speedy, melodic, aggressive, and concise tunes that are catchy as all-get-out.
