Low Estate – Covert Cult of Death
Intriguing. Bizarre. Lots of push-pull dynamic with changes that come out of nowhere, but seem organic.
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.
The Revenant – The Walk Through The Shadow of Death
Given their burly mix of sounds, one might call them extreme gutter metal or perhaps filthy murder thrash. In fact, at various points on the album, one can find elements of thrash, old school death metal, hints of black metal, and even an occasional touch of grindcore.
Wormwood – Mooncurse
Together, they create a rhythmic joyride down a cheese grater.
Rig Time – War!
War is there to sound the clarion call that we are perhaps already at war. This is visceral, angry, political punk rock, screamed straight from the heart, metal style.
Gnaw – Cutting Pieces
However jarring, Cutting Pieces is a great example of how artful noise metal can be.
Brandon Seabrook’s Needle Driver – Needle Driver
Scorching solos, bone crushing chord progressions, and hanging onto one note so long it makes an uncomfortably long Family Guy joke look tame
Silvertomb – New Band Profile
A new band composed of veterans.
