Pale Horseman – The Fourth Seal
Making a name for themselves in the MidWest over the last few years, Pale Horseman is one of the next big things to hit the national stage, all with no label backing them.
Wormwood – Mooncurse
Together, they create a rhythmic joyride down a cheese grater.
Silvertomb – New Band Profile
A new band composed of veterans.
Antiversum – Cosmos Comedenti
Sitting outside on a sunny day would be no antidote if listening to Cosmos Comedenti. The listener would still be locked into the darkness of the void.
Drug Honkey – Cloak of Skies
All of it is carefully pieced together to sound like the internal monologue of a serial killer.
Jupiterian – Terraforming
If Minsk and Portal had a baby in a swamp that was then raised on a desert in outer space, “Terraforming” would be it in sonic presentation.
Usnea – Portals Into Futility
Through six tracks running just shy of an hour, the band weaves a complex web of dread and discovery.
Hell – Hell
The void is strong with this one.
Olde – Temple
They are a righteous beast awakened and ready to cleanse.
Laser Flames on the Great Big News – Laser Flames on the Great Big News
This quartet sounds much bigger than four and combines the best parts of many influences into a musical ride both melancholy and triumphant.
