Old Sorcery The Outsider
Atmospheric black metal with some great dungeon synth elements that serve only to amplify the mysterious almost fantastical vibes of the record. Albums that have the ability to transport you into what feels like another world are few and far between but The Outsider goes on that list. 'The Interior Gates of the True Soul' is the gem here but this effort is more about the end-to-end experience rather than any one moment or track. That being said, this track grows and evolves so wonderfully with synth elements used to true perfection. Lo-fi and crunchy but in the end without that added layer of mist on top of the mix this record would probably 		4.5

ASAP Rocky Don't Be Dumb
At times it brings focused trap bangers (STOLE YA FLOW, HELICOPTER) and at other times it is an eclectic and kind of messy mixture of different guest spots and styles but in the end it all amounts to an hour of music that has some great replayability and is just easy to listen to. Favorite moments are the heavy beat on 'HELICOPTER', the entire package of 'STOLE YA FLOW', the soulful slowed-down feels on 'PLAYA' and the guy barking on 'STFU'. Production and the beats are simply pristine and in the end this album has a pretty nice introspective feel that lends a glimpse into A$AP Rocky's personality and musical vision.		4.0

Sunday Mourners A-Rhythm Absolute
A solid art/post punk debut with good energy and some nice guitar tones. At times it feels a bit familiar (in no ways emulation) harking on the classics of the genre with Television and Talking Heads coming to mind specifically. A great place to start but perhaps some evolution in the sound in future efforts could go a long way.		3.0

Zu Ferrum Sidereum
Definitely has its moments and does well to combine djent, jazz and avant/prog metal but in the end it just feels like the album goes on forever with similar themes throughout. Appreciate the noisiness and chaos of it all with the sax and booming bass.		3.0

Bruno Pernadas unlikely, maybe
Bright and lively bundle of jazz fusion, pop and psychedelic elements probably. 'Juro que vi tulipas' really stands out with the rhythmic flute/wind bridge that transitions amazingly into the Maya Blandy vocal feature. 'Ja nao tem mais encanto' is another highlight with consistent energy driving the song forward and some really great interplay between horns and vocalists.		3.5

Fossilization Advent of Wounds
Slightly doomy death metal that has really nice production and a very nice sound overall but lacks that signature track or set of riffs to push it into the next tier or upper echelon of the genre.		3.5

Ratboys Singin’ to an Empty Chair
Really enjoy 'Light Night Mountains All That' but it just feels like the entire album would just be way better as an upbeat indie rock/power pop record if the country elements were removed, they just feel a bit forced.		3.0
