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.
Logic of Denial – Aftermath
Complex and technical guitar lines led by absolutely insane drum tracks that are almost impossible to predict. Guttural, venomous vocals set the pace for the real brutality this album has to offer.
Cattle Decapitation: Interview with Josh Elmore
Check out an interview Hayduke did with Josh Elmore, guitarist for Cattle Decapitation. The interview was captured by The Art of B Productions.
Bear Mace – Butchering the Colossus
Beware, this may bring out the mosh monster in you.
Warcrab – Scars of Aeons
Warcrab gives us a dark, brooding masterpiece without flaw. Too few will hear this album this year, but it will certainly find it’s way high up on my year end list.
The Furor – Cavalries of the Occult
Musically, the album is so dynamic and unpredictable, it very nearly defies classification. To say that it is a mix of black and death metal, while true, does not do justice to what you hear when you listen.
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.
