Yovel – Epitaph

Click play to experience this first offering off of Forthcoming Humanity, as always, presented in solidarity with the oppressed of the world.

Rebel Wizard – Magickal Mystical Indifference

The fact that the entire album and all its parts came from the mind of a single individual helps contribute to the cohesive feel of MMI which avoids the pitfalls of riff salad and influence drift that can derail a project like this one when too many contributors have too much say.

The Wolf Garden – The Yawning Abyss

Trust me people, there’s a reason why this release has caught attention from two different labels.

Drôw – When All Is Fed

The line up works very well, creating a dismal, post-apocalyptic sound, full of ominous intent.

NAV – Necrotic Voices From The Æther

One thing that really drew me in was the crunchy guitar riffs mixed with an underlying synth at times, and it makes it more dimensional, which adds to overall experience.

Vesperian Sorrow – Regenesis Creation MMXIX

This album is dark imagination writ large.

Inexorum – Moonlit Navigation

I’m going to go ahead and say it from the get go. This album is fantastic.

Sedate drumming, melancholy and often repetitive riffing, simple chord structures are all beautifully done, and all help the purpose of the album, which is to highlight the raw pain of the vocals.

Imperial Triumphant – Alphaville

I think the payoff for letting a difficult album have the time necessary to gel with you is often worth it.

Flux Amuck – The Alternate

It’s like water skiing behind a speedboat down I-94 into Detroit. Strange, almost unfathomable, but undoubtedly a good time.

Kaliya – Born to See, Bred to Hate, Led to Destroy
