Niboowin – Breathing
Niboowin are a fledgling project, but their roots in other projects show through in their immediate excellence on this their first release.
Nigredo – Flesh Torn – Spirit Pierced
Spirit Pierced is fierce beyond measure. You wouldn’t want to meet this album in a dark alley….
Ondt Blod – Natur
The only thing holding me back from singing along with every single song is a lack of knowledge of the language.
Harakiri For The Sky – Arson
Pure gold doesn’t come directly from the ground. The stuff that is mined needs to be heated at very high temperatures to separate it from the dross.
Venom Prison – Animus
Old school roots with passionate fury and layers of dissonance. Now doesn’t that sound worth a listen?
Vile Creature – Cast of Static and Smoke
The plodding riffs are unrelenting. The drums hammer misery into your skull.
Æpoch – Awakening Inception
As their songwriting continues to mature, the only direction for them is up.
Windhand / Satan’s Satyrs – Split
If the devil wears studded leather jackets and drives a motorcycle, then he without a doubt listens to this band.
Convocation – Scars Across
The duo take you on a journey through the ashes of humanity and make you fall entirely in love with what you are witnessing.
Huntsmen – American Scrap
I’ve run out of words. I’m not sure how to wrap up this review. I suppose I will just say that you need to experience it for yourself.
