Such a leap forward from their previous efforts.Psycroptic The Scepter of the AncientsSaidan Onryo II: Her Spirit EternalThis feels special. Rating could go up. Very catchy, unique and kinda uplifting in spots...but uplifting like a last meal on execution day. BTW, these guys have been churning out serious amounts of material! Sepultura Chaos A.D.Sepultura AriseSilence Lies Fear Future: The ReturnIt's a crime that this band isn't better known outside of Azerbaijan. Rumor has it that new music has already been written. Hoping they can get into the studio soon.Soilwork Natural Born ChaosSpawn of Possession IncursoXoth ExogalacticZac Leaser LiberaTightly wound and melodic TDM from Fort Worth, TX. This needs more love and a fat review.4.0 excellentAethereus LeidenMy first taste of Aethereus and it just keeps getting better with each listen. Too much dissonance for some but it's started growing on me like a staff infection. The Living Abyss might be my favorite track of Q1 '22.Alterbeast FeastAtrae Bilis ApexapienMissed this when it came out. This is excellent but I dunno methinx it's the next one that could be unique. Just need to turn down it down one tick and find their own sound.

The Devils of Loudun Escaping EternityYoth Iria As The Flame Withers3.5 greatAethereus AbsentiaAllegaeon DamnumBittersweet release. The composition and production are through the roof but, much like Persefone?s latest, the clean vocals detract from the listenability. Tech DM outfits need to really start saving the cleans for their side projects.Astralborne Across the AeonsBloodred Hourglass Your HighnessCarcass Torn ArteriesDestinity In ContinuumSomewhere between good and great. Absolutely worth multiple listens. Lots of solid tracks but not quite on the same level as Resolve In Crimson, although very much a continuation of that same style.

On a more positive note, the wifey likes it. Whitechapel Kin2.5 averageEnterprise Earth The ChosenPronostic An Atomic DecisionThis was an average album but Pronostic's 2023 release, Chaotic Upheaval, is AOTY material.Upon Stone Dead Mother MoonReally wanted to love this but the vocals are like nails on a chalkboard to these grumpy old ears. I know the guitar work is amazing but I won't be able to really listen to this until there's an instrumental release. 2.0 poorFirst Fragment Gloire EternelleNot for me. Sounds like chaos abbreviated by flamenco dancers. Really wanted to like this for my friends that recommended it too. There's absolutely no questioning the talent and originality of the musicians (these guys are bringing Baroque style counterpoint to fucking metal) but the take-away for me on this one is just because you can doesn't mean you should.Mors Principium Est Liberate the Unborn InhumanityAn remix album that absolutely nobody was asking for. Let's hear some new material!
