Craven Idol – The Shackles of Mammon

This album caught me by surprise, to be honest. I loved the album art from the time I saw it, but wasn’t expecting a sound so uniquely vintage yet contemporary at the same time.

The Obsessed – Sacred

All in all, just a heavy, old school, meaner version of their younger selves.

She Must Burn – Grimoire (Review and Interrogation)

Entwining brutality and beauty, with eerie keyboards and unique rhythms, seeming to blend genres with ease.

The Brood – The Truth Behind

Death-grind, black metal, and crust all jump into the mix to create an abysmal groove that will have your head banging and the pit churning in no time.

Iron Reagan – Crossover Ministry

With 18 songs and the longest coming in at a whopping 3:37, the Virginia 5-piece rips through the album in the best crossover thrash tradition.

Grond – Worship the Kraken

If this balance of aggression, speed and groove doesn’t get your blood pumping you must be dead.

Dusius – Memory of a Man

With shades of many types of metal like Folk/Viking to Extreme/Death all the way to an almost progressive feel, this band shows they’re very well rounded and have many more stories for us all to hear.

Bill + Phil – Songs of Darkness and Despair

Covering the gamut from straight stoner rock to gorgeous psychedelic interludes, Songs of Darkness and Despair comfortably bridges the gap between both.

Sweat Lodge – Tokens For Hell

Tokens for Hell is groovy, cosmic music with a very Black Sabbath feel. Except it’s on acid.

Doctor Livingstone – Triumphus Haeretici

To understand the album, give yourself an hour plus where you can sit and absorb the entirety without interruption. Your patience and effort will be rewarded with an album remarkable in its dark passion.
