Discarnatus – Condemned to Darkness
intensely vicious, savagely raw, and pretty weird.
The Wizard Union Collective EP- Roundup
groovy spaced-out trip with ranting vocals and a sing-along chorus
Top Ten-ish of 2018 by JGilbert
a year full of boundary pushing, genre blending, and crazy music
INTERVIEW with MARTIN LOPEZ of SOEN
growing as musicians, touring internationally, and their new album, Lotus,
Cloudburst – Cloudburst
builds to a wall of sound crescendo reminiscent of early emocore for just a moment before the chaos resumes.
Unattended Death – SPLIT w/ Ridiculous Terror
three tracks of throwback goregrind with riffage that brings up memories of early Cannibal Corpse, delivered in bite sized chunks I can eat up again and again.
The Ocean – Phanerozoic I: Paleozoic
massive songs which are perfectly crafted in every way, but the execution is deceptively simple; in some ways minimalist
Great Reversals – Stalactite
Great Reversals infuses an emotional complexity to their music which makes them stand out from their contemporaries
Cloud Rat – Clipped Beaks/Silk Panic
one of the most daring bands in music right
Behemoth – I Loved You At Your Darkest
Audiophiles rejoice; this is the best sounding black metal album to date
