Goat War – Warwolf
It’s raw, it’s not the best quality, but what you can hear in the mud is blackened punk-thrash brilliance.
Sutekh Hexen/Hissing – Split LP
While the two sides are noticeably different, they do make a coherent whole, as both projects reach outside the box for their sound.
6 Prong Paw – Redact
They feature more extreme influences than ever before, weaving elements of black and death metal into their modern metal sound.
The Black Dahlia Murder – Nightbringers
The band doesn’t seem to have missed a beat, as they pick up exactly where they left off, but with some extra attitude included.
Five of The Eyes Interview
An interview with Five of the Eyes.
Primitive Man – Caustic
There is nobody else that I’m aware of doing what PM does. They are masters of a genre all their own.
Nailblack – Envied
Nailblack approach evil in a manner so old school that Immortal could have developed from them.
Yellow Eyes – Immersion Trench Reverie
The album showcases the particulars of the Yellow Eyes style, including the way they take the majestic, mournful sound generally found in the Cascadian subgenre, and turn it inside out so that it becomes a ravaging sickness worming its way through your brain.
Wolves In The Throne Room – Thrice Woven
My initial impression is that the albums falls somewhere between the beauty and grandeur of Celestial Lineage and the harsh aggression of Two Hunters.
Loincloth – Psalm of the Morbid Whore
…one imagines guitar players, bass players, and drummers learning the complex passages almost as exercises in technique.
