Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name4.5 superbBrand of Sacrifice God HandThe Interstice from last year was one of my favorite records of the year, and this brings up the impact to another level. Face-melting and absolutely brutal throughout, this album is one of my favorite releases of the year. I love how this band is seamlessly able to bring electronic music into the fold in a way that enhances the sound instead of taking away from it, which is a rarity for bands that make use of it. 4.0 excellentSanction (USA-NY) Broken In RefractionRadial Lacerations is nuts. Just great track after great track throughout, each one feels fresh and exciting. Big Recommend here, glad I randomly checked the new releases tab. 3.0 goodThy Art Is Murder Human TargetAt its worst, this album is repetitive as hell with the same tired formula again and again. But, the instrumentation is pretty freaking good despite the album struggling to separate itself from the pack; vocals are amazing as usual with TAIM. I recommend Voyeurs Into Death and Atonement. Death Squad Anthem was their worst effort on this release imo. 2.5 averageOh, Sleeper Bloodied/UnbowedSuper average album without a lot of soul. First track sounds so empty and disconnected (Especially that initial rift, yikes) that I had to force my way through it. There are some OK tracks later on, Decimation and Burial has its moments, and Oxygen seems to bottle some of the passion that Oh, Sleeper exhibited on their older albums, but these moments are few and far between. I actually ended up really liking The Summit as a change of pace for the band, but it wasn't enough to push this album past decidedly average for me.
