An example of an album that started out with good intentions but ran aground instead.
Haunt – Burst Into Flame Review
This is definitely one of the best old school heavy metal releases of the year.
King Heavy – Guardian Demons Review
A seasoned effort that is memorable, heavy, and deserves multiple rotations on any doom playlist.
North Hammer – Stormcaller Review
An average record that suffers from an overall lack of consistency.
Summoning – With Doom We Come Review
Suffers from a lack of consistency and originality.
Aetherian – The Untamed Wilderness Review
A solid debut album from Aetherian.
A Hill to Die Upon – Via Artis Via Mortis Review
A breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant musical scene.
Paradise Lost – Medusa Review
Like a fine wine, the band’s genius has only grown with time.
Khazaddum – Plagues Upon Arda Review
Khazaddum, while talented, plays it a bit too safe on their debut record.
Planet Eater – Blackness from the Stars Review
A band that knows how to mold influences and make them their own.
