The bleakness and urgency of our situation expressed through a resonant crust record.
Martyrdöd – Hexhammaren Review
A bit different from their last one, but still solid.
Zaum – Divination Review
Still decent, but perhaps becoming stale.
Enforcer – Zenith Review
Occasionally fun, but incoherent and weirdly anachronistic.
Tryer – Ei Kuole Koskaan Review
It’s got a steel dragon shooting lasers on the cover and that’s basically what it sounds like.
Malokarpatan – Cesta podzemnými sálami Kovovlada EP Review
Neat offering of dark ambient and metal, but way too short.
ORO – Djupets Kall Review
Won’t save the stagnant style that is post-metal, but still shows how its properly done.
Saor – Forgotten Paths Review
Saor with a much more concise sound, but no less beautiful and intense.
Ars Magna Umbrae – Lunar Ascension Review
Cosmic black metal with great ideas that don’t always come to fruition.
Croc Noir – Mort Review
A compact sound with a few neat extra things going on.
