Dethklok – Dethalbum IV
…beautifully crafted riffs, brutal vocals, and tight, clean recording quality.
Witches Forest – Sitting on Stardust
Witches Forest is a perfect example of someone who was actually showing indigenous musical characteristics.
Ushangvagush – Pestmo’qon
Musically, Pesto’qon picks up where Mntu left off, and then builds from there.
Owlbear – Chaos to the Realm
Owlbear kicks ass. Seriously.
Ebony Pendant – Ebony Pendant
Right of the rip, or should I say riff, this album brings you to the trve and cold.
Starer – Wind, Breeze, or Breath
Starer can basically do know wrong. Each album is part of a cohesive sound, yet each also has its own unique elements.
Psionic Madness – Rotting Dominion
Big props to the guys for creating such a monumental release and in my opinion one of the best death metal releases of 2022.
EXCLUSIVE DUAL TRACK PREMIERE: Organ Dealer – Truth Blinders/Endless Despondence
The attack on The Weight of Being is poignant and powerful, both lyrically and sonically.
Gossamer – The Culling of Crones
The weight of the subject matter, the strength of the composition, and the rugged excellence of the playing make this an album worth many repeat spins.
Krigsgrav – Fires in the Fall
The trio have concocted a rich, fiery atmosphere which holds all manner of imagined evil in the shadows and contours of the riffs.
