| Emmure Speaker of the Dead |
| Surprisingly interesting output by a band that reached it's bottom with their latest record 'Felony'. On the one hand 'Speaker Of The Dead' is an incredibly brutal and heavy ride with some outstanding tracks like 4 Poisons 3 Words, Lights Bring Salvation and their two singles. And on the other hand it features weak, replaceable material like Area 64-66 or My Name Is Thanos and shows a kind of undeniable redundancy in breakdowns and overall musicianship after examining the whole length and consistency of the record in detail. In terms of production, it's easily Sturgis' best work ever. The bass lines are perfectly audible, dubstep elements, electronic parts and samples fit nicely and the general groove knows how to be hypnotizing and tight at once. All in all not really an excellent record, but a great one for Palmeri & Sons. Their third best, placing shortly after 'The Respect Issue'. 3.8 |

| Gideon Milestone |
| I am sorry for all 'generic'-proclaimers but this record is not mindless chugging, it's chugging on purpose. On purpose of emotion, anger and hope. It utilizes brutality to showcase feelings and it does damn well. Consider records like FURY AND THE FALLEN ONES (The Ghost Inside), CHANGES (For The Fallen Dreams) or MESSENGERS (August Burns Red) - yes, it's that good of a chugfest. If The Ghost Inside would play great breakdowns on their new CD (which they don't!), these would sound like the Gideon ones over here. Awesome intervals and time signatures e.g. like at the end of "Bad Blood" aren't the usual metalcore listen, because not every band is capable of bringing technical skills to the table when it comes to junz. What's left is a hilariously straight forward record that features some of the finest modern mosh moments imaginable. A huge improvement from COSTS and definitely a record that makes you wanna break stuff afterwards and/or during the listen. Give it a spin and don't hesitate to move your body. Brain off, junz on. |

The vocals are fine, the breakdowns enjoyable and the meshuggah riffing continues for the better. No milestone and nothing new at all, but in terms of progression, color me surprised. |
| A Plea for Purging The Life & Death of A Plea For Purging |
| without a doubt their best record up to date. |
| A Skylit Drive Identity On Fire |
| Not as classy as the EP and less hits than Wires..., in short: a better Adelphia. |
| Acadiana Until Lambs Become Lions |
| Across Five Aprils Tragedy in Progress |
| the problem with mr. higgins is, that he always speaks the truth. not okay, really not okay fellas...seriously. classy record. mainstream metalcore oldschool². 3.75 |
| Adept The Rose Will Decay |
| Advocates Mindless |
| With Life In Mind 2, literally. A little more mosh and less melody, but only listen to "Deadweight" for once - its a masterpiece, nothing else. Kick the fillers "Mindless" and "Giants" and you have a great 4-track EP of a promising newcomer band. |

| All Shall Perish This is Where it Ends |
| more like a 3.75. this record is really great. close to awaken the dreamers but more straightforward, even with the memberchanges. slightly worse than suicide silence's new though. and no competition with BoO/beheading of a king/circle of contempt because ASP are deathcore and want to be deathcore, no future-tech-ambient-chugridden-metal-deathcore ,) these bands can coexist without any difficulty. ps: I forgot - the record itself is definitely too long. |

| Apparat Walls |
| awesome german electronica - unfortunately a bit tiring after a while, peppered with mediocre vocals (when they are used) and despite of "you don't know me" lacking real hits/outstanders. overall nice tunes. a good 3.5. |
| Architects Ruin |
| Architects The Here and Now |
| Arsonists Get All The Girls Portals |
| Arsonists Get All The Girls Motherland |
| considering the sound, ideas and stuff, this is basically Portals 2. first half is kinda boring, the second is more varied. especially "will someone please turn down the ocean?", "tempest" and the beautiful "west cliffs" rule as fuck. unfortunately the rest can't keep up with these killer tracks. still a great record. |

| As Bold As Lions Deliverance |

One song more out of "Impossibility Of Reason" for one "Infection"-song would not have been that bad, but overall nice choice of hits. Tone quality is fine, DVD with 7 hours+ bonus material is sick. All in all a very pleasing collection for a fan and nicely intriguing to newcomers. |

"Dare To Defy" is skippable btw, what makes Entwine The Threads basically a 4-song EP rather than a 5-track one. 20 percent filler? not that great, especially at such a short playtime (19 minutes). a good 3.5, nothing more. calm down guys. |

| Thank god it's better than Back Burner. The cleans are often times misplaced but not as annoying as they were used to be. Lowlights are certainly weaklings like NO ONE TO BLAME or WAKING UP ALONE but fortunately the album also features tracks like YOUR FUNERAL, SOBER or WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE which showcase that not all talent of a former "genre/niche giant" is lost. A bearable listen for die hard junz-fans that are capable to fade out some choruses here and there plus people that have swallowed the bitter pill of FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS' kind of "downhill progression", if you even want to call it like that. |

| Northlane World Eater |

| This seems like a typical grower to me. Despite of 3-4 tracks, Children of Fire is not really accessible and furthermore not as catchy as expected. A long term listen. For now, it's a good 3.5 for me. Might grow and advance to a finite 4, but as I said - this will most probably need some time and concentration/focus. At the moment it is slightly behind Son of the Morning. |

| Worse than A Lot Like Birds, worse than Hail The Sun, worse than Dance Gavin Dance but still way above average. They did not get everything out of the features imo and also they did kind of a fail tracklisting, giving four of the five features away in tracks 7-10 instead of being smart and mixing them more apart from each other. Aside from 'Our Last Night On Earth' and 'Year Of The Light' also lacking real hits for me...dunno. If this would have been a random band, not pushed and hyped that much (e.g. by Will Swan himself) I would not even give them several more spins. A semi-letdown for me in 2013. |

| Ten After Two Truth Is... |
| Underrated with a 3, overrated with a 3.5. Probably a 3.25-thing. Even if they come with great technique and good ideas, Ten After Two aren't able to grab me at first listen. They certainly delivered a fine record here, but I would heavily suggest them to work on their catchiness and accessibilty. |

| The Contortionist Shapeshifter |
| The Contortionist Intrinsic |
| It's not what I expected, nor what I hoped for. This does not necessarily mean that the record is bad, not by any means, but it is certainly not anything fans or long time Contortionist listeners would most likely demand from them. EXOPLANET was a heavy deathcore experience with intelligent time signatures, crisp breakdowns and crystal clear ambient/progressive elements, maintaining a good balance between clean singing and harsh growling and/or screaming. But INTRINSIC is more of a progressive metal record that relies heavily on spacy and lofty riffing, keys and ambient tuning while giving a lot of room for cleans only. Comparing these two, one definitely finds a certain lack of heavy parts, featuring very little breakdowns and growled segments at all. Also, when The Contortionist tries to be brutal on INTRINSIC (e.g. on SOLIPSIS or at the middle of CORTICAL) they fail, completely exaggerating it on the brawly, noisy side. So all in all I did not know or could have imagined that TC were going fully progressive/ambient after their first album snippets, but it is not the change I had longed for, at least not in such extent. Finally, INTRINSIC is not average at all and actually pretty good in what it wants to deliver, but it does just not appease my musical appetite and all in all it's just too dull and constant to fully grab or entertain me. In other words: it's a bit boring in all it's consistency. 'Lost in space', one could say. |

| more near to a 3 than to a 4. two fillerintro's, two rehashed tracks and six forgettable songs, leaving us with only two new outstanders from this record which is much too less considering their previous work. our sad result: the EP was much better, not productionwise but in terms of musicianship and consistency. nevertheless this is no bad listen at all and still one of the flagship's of modern day's djent. but as we see they wasted tons of their potential... |

| unfortunately its not as diverse as Revision:Revise was and additionally there are only two or three songs which aren't generic and boring at all. also the cleans have gone worse - don't ask me why..basically you get what you expect by purchasing this record: nothing groundbreaking nor fun, but a slight-above-average modern post-hc/metalcore output from a band that constantly seems to match the genre mean. |
| A Day To Remember What Separates Me From You |
| Calmer and softer than Homesick, coevally feeling kinda rushed. Overall a quite catchy pop-punk output with very few core elements left and a really short running time. I don't know if I am liking this direction much. Leaving it a 3.5 for now, maybe downgrading it to 2.5-3 after the next few listens. |

| good and promising debut EP of a band I would like to rename into "Little Volumes". they kind of rely on the sound of last-mentioned band in 2-3 of their songs and even deliver a feature with the Volumes-shouter on one of them. unfortunately the actual djent parts are very rare and sparely used which could be an issue to fix for a possibly following full length. all in all the deathcore portion is still too high to really shine in a crowded and flooded genre like this. |
| Betrayal Abandonment |
| a rock-solid moshcore record - nothing more, nothing less. if you like Legend, For The Fallen Dreams or Altars, you might dig this. the track 'Abandonment' shines most because of the TGI-guest vocal spot. 3.25 |

| lol@ these numbers. maybe listen to their brilliant EPs before rating such pseudo-mature rock mush over 3.5 guys. | a steady decline for Conditions, cumulating in their worst record to date. it's not bad, it's simply not Conditions anymore. pop & rock are not melodic post-hardcore. a definite letdown for longterm fans. any newfag will happily consume this with his brains off though, sure. |

| Saosin In Search Of Solid Ground |
| Scar Symmetry The Unseen Empire |
it's definitely a suitable record for scar symmetry, even if they are too much trying to copy their older sound. The Unseen Empire stands above their latest effort Dark Matter Dimensions, but does ultimately not reach the quality of Aelvestam-material (their first three records).
something between a 3 and a 3.5 for me. |

Whatever, the songs LAKE NYOS and SEVEN PERSONS really stand out and don't fail to disappoint at all, so ultimately the cd comes out as a little dig of mine. |

| A slight improvement from Protector, but for their next output they should get rid of the synths and massive scene approaches. 3.25 because they know how to play their instruments and have some Legend/Acacia Strain vibes at times (e.g. listen to "End" in full). |

| even facing heavy inconsistencies in musicianship plus generic and mainstream instrumentation/singing, this record can at least be considered as a bearable effort and a step into the right direction. maybe it will need another three records for them to really produce something true and original, but that is not the point. the point is that these guys are slowly weaking up. slowly but steadily. |

| Helia 2036 |

| Lena Good News |
| This sophomore effort alarmingly showcases what is meant by the common term 'wasted potential', especially for a skilled songstress like Lena. 'Good News' features boring & tame songwriting and feels kinda rushed with this abrupt ending. On top of that it lacks the bluesy/jazzy touch of the forerunner and is not able to compensate the erstwhile hit frequency on 'My Cassette Player'. Apart from all that Lena is overall fortunately able to cover up the writing and carry the record with her warm voice and singing abilities. For the Eurovision Song Contest 2011, I would definitely have suggested to choose "A Million And One", which is easily the best song on the record. The song they have chosen ("Taken By A Stranger") is the only track that is kinda different from the others on the album and hence marks a bearable, but not a winning alternative. |
| Linkin Park Living Things |
| what deviant said. just boring. also they have no drummer anymore, it's fully electronic. huge disappointment, especially after all the hype. victimized is a bad joke. |

| Morgan's Accident There's No Sun Where We're Going |
| most likely the most generic thing I have heard for years, but funnily enough it seems bearable. the sky eats airplane connection dswhite85 made is not too bad, even Morgan's Accident are much less technical and innovative. bland popcorn newschool scenecore release to switch off your mind for a while, haha. |

| Then Falls Caesar Survive The Night |
| boring. the cleans are the only outstanding thing about them imo. he sounds much like jordan blake, jagmin, ryan randall, stephen rezza and all the other modern emocore/post-hardcoresque countertenors. maybe stop the shitty metalcore parts and follow an original path...dunno. 2.25 |

Not even several guest appearances can't help American Me...they are past remedy. Time to break up. |
| Asking Alexandria Life Gone Wild |
| At the Skylines The Secrets To Life |
| Aside from "143 Princess", "Turbulence" and the leastwise catchy "Chapter 7" this is pure rubbish. It's hard to even bear the first three songs of this disc. Imagine a bastard of Asking Alexandria, Enter Shikari and Cartel. Sounds retarded? It is. Brutal scenecore takes turns with cheesy, poorly sung pop punk. Thank god they borrowed Kellin Quinn from Sleeping With Sirens which tries to make a brave rescue effort at the end of the record...only the light of his presence keeps this longplayer above total squits-material in the 1.0/1.5-regions. |
| Between Seas Shorelines |
| Mostly terrible, unexperienced and uninspired, but not entirely inaudible, e.g. as the song "Midnight Terminator" truly shines out with it's epic atmospheric outro. Props for that. |
| Born of Osiris A Higher Place |
| brokeNCYDE Guilty Pleasure |
| Carry Your Ghost Decisions |
| weak, bumptious and hubristic for the fallen dreams-rip off with no feeling for time signatures at all. guitar and drum production are an 1:1 copy of FtfD's "Changes" and fifty percent of the breakdowns are horrible. some enjoyable moments of guitar harmony save this record from the tales of 1.X-newschool faggotry. these guys should seriously rethink their musical future. |

| The Maine Black & White |
| just another mushy output of a band that softens and gets more mainstream with every new release. black & white covers finest major label pop punk material for every girl that has not yet hit the 'age-of-15 mark'. if you like to hear another easy forgettable, reduced-calorie diet record for slimming cure listeners, then black & white is your CD. |
