Venereal Baptism – Deviant Castigation Liturgy
This album is anything but boring, with the many tempo changes, and raw energy, it’s absolutely punishing.
Necrovorous – Plains of Decay
“Plains Of Decay” is absolutely littered with some of the most incredible and catchy yet brutal riffs I’ve heard in some time.
Undergang – Misantropologi (Review and Interview)
Feral creation is called forth to drag the listener bodily into the filthy pits of void from which the band springs forth.
Centenary – …Where No Lives Matter (Review and Interview)
A dark creature arises from the post-apocalyptic wastes.
Gravesite – Neverending Trail of Skulls
Gravesite, with their much more nuanced approach are maybe more comparable to a lich from Dungeons and Dragons fame. These creatures were evil sorcerers who extended their life even past death, basically intelligent, malevolent, animated corpses with great power.
Cloud Rat/Disrotted Split
Where in my top five will this one fall?
Broken Hope – Mutilated and Assimilated (Review and Interview)
There is a malicious streak that shows forth here in ominous riffs, there in embedded grind, and yet again in ambient samples, which all serve to drag the listener by their exposed entrails into the abyss that is this album.
NYN – Entropy: Of Chaos and Salt
From the time the album starts to the time it finishes you are bombarded with the sounds of what can be described as a chaos that meshes really well together.
Goatwhore – Vengeful Ascension (Review and Interview)
Every song is a representation of Goatwhore and what they’ve done in the past, showing their vast evolution as a band over this 20 years.
Footage of a Yeti – Purging the Human Condition
This isn’t your Harry and the Henderson’s lovable bigfoot. They hate and they love bringing destruction.
