Featured Release

Augury: Illusive Golden Age Genre: Technical Death Metal // Label: The Artisan Era

Great technical death metal that is able to show off all the skills while still managing to be memorable, heavy, and even occasionally melodic. The bass player, in particular, deserves a mention here because he is definitely the star of the show, even if he is sometimes buried in the mix during the more chaotic moments. If there is a flaw, it is the vocals. They’re just a little too two-dimensional for me, but they get the job done.
