| 2010 In Metal | 10 | | Overkill Ironbound
There are no huge surprises here, just track after track of first-class Thrash.
Ironbound is without any doubt their best effort since the early 90's.
(Rating- 3.5) | 9 | | Immolation Majesty and Decay
This album delivers a healthy serving of punishing groove, complemented by
dark guitar harmonics and some brilliant moments. (Rating- 3.5) | 8 | | Alcest Ecailles De Lune
Beautiful and triumphant melodic songwriting is what we can find in
"Ecailles De Lune". A Black Metal influenced album that manages to be also
very peaceful and captivating. (Rating- 4) | 7 | | Agalloch Marrow Of The Spirit
There's no denial that 'Marrow Of The Spirit' is a monster of a work; a thick
and towering beast that takes quite a few listens to really sink in. Like all of
Agalloch's music, there is a great deal of atmosphere here, as well as a
forlorn and existential worldview that certainly won't be brightening one's
spirits anytime soon. (Rating- 4) | 6 | | Journal Unlorja
Metalcore + Technical Death Metal + Mathcore + Chaotic Performance = Unlorja. (Rating- 4) | 5 | | Lich King World Gone Dead
The best Thrash album to come out in a long time. The band shreds through
great riffs, solos, drum fills and bass work all the while as the vocalist belts
out Punk influenced rants. (Rating- 4) | 4 | | Intronaut Valley Of Smoke
The production on this album is raw. You can hear a biting growl in the bass, and the drum sounds are really
natural and clear. The guitars and vocals can be described similarly, as they both
move from crooning ambiance to smart-bomb-precise destruction. (Rating-
4) | 3 | | Atheist Jupiter
Awesome dynamics, classic brutal Atheist riffs, incredible musical talent.
Another great piece of work to add to their discography. (Rating- 4) | 2 | | Enslaved Axioma Ethica Odini
"They truly are giants. May they continue to march". (Rating- 4.5) | 1 | | Amia Venera Landscape The Long Procession
The instrumentation lunges from lightning fast and frantic Hardcore/ Metal
to atmospheric, melodic and even chilling instrumentals."Empire", "A New
Aurora", "Marasm", "Nicholas" and other six beautifully crafted and
impressive songs, create the best Metalcore debut album of all time.
