TRACK PREMIERE: The Scalar Process – Cosmic Flow
The Scalar Process is definitely technical death metal, but it’s as if tech death went to the gym, studied martial arts, and learned bomb making, all to better seek revenge on their high school bully.
Subterraen – Rotten Human Kingdom
Above all else, Rotten Human Kingdom is a pissed off beast of an album, a creature formed from the earth itself, sent forth by its mother for the vengeance so richly deserved.
Heads For The Dead – Into The Red
I’m craving for your blood
Eremit – Desert of Ghouls
Monolithic, yet with catchy riffs and foot tapping rhythms, the band treads a fine line on the release, pulling off masterfully what sounds like it could have been a yawner on paper.
Atræ Bilis – Divinihility
Divinihility is a brief masterpiece of angular, chaotic mayhem.
Crypts of Despair – All Light Is Swallowed
All Light Is Swallowed is less of an album and more of a channeling of eviscerating darkness.
Sepulchral Curse – Only Ashes Remain
This album could probably beat up your dad and older brother combined.
Henry Kane – Age Of The Idiot
Angry, disturbed, ominous, triumphant…this album is all of those things, and more.
Medium – Medium
Equally capable of drawing you into a zone of thoughtful contemplation, as they are able to straight up punch you in the mouth, repeat listens reveal a quality of craftsmanship that I missed in my first listen.
Wardaemonic – Acts of Repentance
Acts of Repentance exhibits an inferno which is supernatural, audibly from above, fittingly daemonic.
