Leaning to 4. Interesting soundscapes. Some spacegaze Afterbirth vibes too, but yeah more Osdm like obliteration fe (even if obliteration is doomier)

Honnestly getting slugdge vibes on some tracks here. Congrats Cowboy, you have done a great job!

Somewhat not quite my style something intringuing kept me diving into it.
Chelsea Wolfe She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She4.5
Hulder Verses In Oath2.5
Disappointment. I really like the debut. I mean, where's the charming synths and high leads? Where's the folky vibe? The melody is provided with weak synths drowned in the mix.

Necrowretch Swords of Dajjal4.0

Really solid release that culminates with
Bending Hectic exploding. Surpirsingly solid
to jam whenever and wherever. Wait for it to
unfolfd and give it the fair chance.
Vitriol (USA) Suffer & Become3.0
Definitely busy. Fun record always on the verge of being too much. Rather the more disturbing vibe from the previous one. Prod on this a lot like Cattle decap, but messier...

Awesome album. Good riffs and vibe. They sure

I feel forced to bump this album. All tracks are too damn infectious! If I keep listening it may be a 4. Extremely chorus driven for better or worse..amazing how you get all the hooks coming on 2md listen.

Covering song In the Pines, converting it into

Downfall of Gaia Silhouettes Of Disgust4.0
the little switch to the fem vocals on Eyes to Burning Skies are very welcome and imo from that song onwards they show how creatively free they can be, the album goes a little more postish, I really like those little twists a little away from their black punk gaze formula, which is already awesome. Not to mention the closer's ending - pure bliss for me.r
Depeche Mode Memento Mori4.0
Maruja Knocknarea4.0
Margarida Campelo Supermarket Joy3.5
Fun jazz and experimental release. It goes cool with sections reminding us of Bruno Pernadas and Badbadnotgood f.e.
Gorod The Orb3.0
REZN Solace4.0
Awesome album! I'm a sucker for the band since Chaotic Divine, which has a little more dub vibe. They are really good. So cool how they keep it so chill and so heavy at the same time.
Enslaved Heimdal4.5
I dug Utgard ngl, specially how it flows. E not so much. Axioma is a fucking banger. And this is actually a different level from Utgard. More nuanced and intricate. With more special places to explore. This sounds as if mastodon went bm in some tracks, but this has much more, from meshuggary to opeth and still leaves space for several 70s prog takes. I keep switching my fave tracks on this. Borderline 5 prog metal gem.
Haken Fauna3.5
Tribulation Vengeance4.0
Crusty Old Toad King Cryptid4.0
A toad gotta do what a toad gotta do. Simply put this is the best BM HM (slightly post yet on the trve bm side) album a toad has ever done. Seriously, listen to this one. Damn good guitar player's one man project - Toaderus Crusticus - Solo practitioner.
Insomnium Anno 16963.5
Big|Brave nature morte3.5
Gorillaz Cracker Island2.5
Hypno5e Sheol3.0
indiecore, kinda cool. Getting Maudlin of The Well vibes if they were more djentcore or some shit. I like/ respect Maudlin just not a big fan. This has a lot of good ideas that doesn't always work/ flow.

Yap. Its a jam! I normaly don t do instrumental albums but I loved this, specially how thick and dynamic (and heavy) their sound is. Also for an instrumental piece is full of character.
Sanguisugabogg Homicidal Ecstasy3.5
Mithridatum Harrowing4.0
Tentacult Lacerating Pattern4.0
They do have the art of keeping it simple, in order to keep it flowy. Also they switch to doom and bm pretty seemlessly. Pretty dang cool. The cover is also cool af.

Jade The Pacification Of Death4.0
Blackened Doom. Riffs are BM af. DeathDoom growls emerge, right next to a very unique vocal shouting. Its never as complex as you'd expect prog dm would be, and by keeping it simple and entrancing makes it a very peculiar listen. Fave track is Silk Ransoms and Saddest Night.
Elder (USA-MA) Innate Passage4.0
High Command Eclipse of the Dual Moons3.5
SpiritWorld Deathwestern3.0
The sound is pre awesome but am I missing smth?...nothing western here. All songs on the same note and basic crossover slayer hxc. I know this may have some complementary art etc but as an album it kinda goes hard but it does not leave the station.
Weyes Blood And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow4.0
He Is Legend Endless Hallway4.0
Dream Unending Song of Salvation4.0
An authentic and epic dreamy Death Doom bath. Production is amazing, fantastic lead work and collabs thay actually add variety to the output and novelty to the genre. Two huge and long tracks on book ends, two smaller ones in between and a sweet interlude dividing it.

Ripped to Shreds 劇變 (Jubian)4.5
Glad we're all digging Ripped to Shreds. Being a
deathgrind release its impressive how memorable
and dynamic it is. They even managed to put a 10
minute track (In Solitude) with a doom finale a la
Hooded Menace. Also the solos are super cool!

As if Altar of Plagues experimentalism met Lord Mantis' filthyness. Highly atmospheric release.
Gospel MVDM: Magick Volumes Of Dark Madder3.0
Wormrot Hiss4.5
This shit rules. Honestly shake things up, together with PD and FoH. It has some of the coolest punk hxc and post hxc cuts from comeback kid (turn it around and wake the dead era) to converge and I'm sure some other cool punk bands yall know and I dont lol. It also sticks to a sound and an own ID, cool atmosphere, narrative and what? Are these emotions I feel? In grindcore? Gtfo it almost goes blackgaze at times. Get a grip folks XDr
Telekinetic Yeti Primordial4.0
Super torn between a 3.5 and a 4 cause the fuzz is stoner, and as real as it gets. Vocals are troy sanders af but always in the back (in a cool way). Great stuff to get stoned.
Conjurer (UK) Pathos4.5
This band is more on the sludge and post metal side maybe, idk. And it has some hardcore reminescents, so yeah the metalcore tag would fit if this wasn't so dense. There's also a lot of death metal (more in here than Mire) pulling us back to Opeth mid era, and of course black metal aspects all over the place (blast beats and high pitch vocals). And now how do they put all these in one single vibe/ ID is the most impressive. Other point is how they still make it to be this emotional and pure/genuine is beyond my reach and rare as fuck nowdays. Stay tuned on Conjurer mates!

Drums are boring, the rest is fine. Nice production.
Knoll Metempiric4.0
These dudes are fuking it all. Killer sophomore! They surelly grasp Trumpeting Ecstasy vibe and vocals. Grind, sludge, industrial and doom. Tracks barely over 3 min, with the exception of the closer, (8min) with a fantastic and clearing vocalrperformance.

Wished for a thicker production but they went
solo for this ep and it still rocks a punch.
First 2 minute intro goes full on Timewave
Zero. Aperture of Body is the banger and
Prestige of Rebirth takes the long road. Edit:
diferent sound from what I remember on the
2023 release. Bump

Vital Spirit Still as the Night, Cold as the Wind4.5
Okay. Honnestly this grows af. The folk (western spaggheti like) elements are so subtelly introduced its actually part of the epic music and intended vibe. The album flows beautifully. The bm parts, riffs and guitar leads simply slap!

This is their least catchy. Also their proggiest. Not necessarily bad. It gets less hard hitting but more adventurous. Probably the most retro band in activity.

Their best is DW with a rollercoaster of events. This is a solid and steady experience, and its blessing is also its curse - the amazing outworldly closer, that kinda burns everything around to ashes in hope. We have to be resilient tho, and focus on those dirty descendant riffs all around the other tracks.

This is fuckin city evil. Its awesome and depressive, if you feel me! Some said it makes them think as an evil(er) version of teethed glory and injury, which makes sense in the way the industrial bm pummeling is displayed. Its a tough af listen but its a grabber since the very first second you put on. Omfg kinda listen.
Khemmis Deceiver4.0
This one rules them all Khemmis ones. They added these really doomy endings and interludes, with low growls after melodic singing. Opener even features bm vocals and instrumentation, transitioning and flowing pretty seamlessly. Give it a shot. Its one dynamic af release, unlike the others, as good as they might be.

Mortiferum Preserved in Torment4.5
Diablo Swing Orchestra Swagger and Stroll Down the Rabbit Hole3.0
Mastodon Hushed and Grim4.5
As if disc 1 wasn t already a super solid display of Mastodon bangers, disc 2 is where it's at boys. They give you a spiritual connection to early Mastodon and specially Crack the Skye's sense of journeyand vibe. Although not as heavy, is certainly a mature, smoothed Mastodon which proves the band is aging well and aware. I asked for a new Mastodon full on prog and this is close enough. Exceded my expectations in every way, and specially based on the singles, that work much better in context. I want to say I love Gobblers of Dregs and Eyes of Serpents, but right before you have the heaviest here Savage Lands m/. Before those you have eerie almost power ballad Had it All and the bold experimental Peace and tranquility and esoteric Dagger. Disc 1 while not necessarily worse is certainly more direct and helps to kill the Don thirst. Big praise to the quantity, quality and rawness of the solos. This thing is drenched. Tk you Mastodon.
Archspire Bleed the Future4.0
I had to be really in the mood and 3rd spin or so to find them both equally good. Got some unexpected AB vibes from this one.

Worm Foreverglade4.5
Knocked Loose A Tear in the Fabric of Life3.5
vocals are goofy but angry and its pretty much the goal here. Heavier Code Orange imo...just not as fast as I expected. Breaks relying, but thats also the goal eheh
Rothadas Kopár Hant... Az Alvilág Felé4.0
I spinned this bad boy 3 times already and it punches deeper with each listen. Simple yet thickest cavernous deathdoom a la spectral voicer

How simple it is to make a simple album to make you simply feel.
The World Is a Beautiful Place... Illusory Walls3.5
BADBADNOTGOOD Talk Memory4.0
Full of Hell Garden of Burning Apparitions4.0
These 2 last are quite similar to each other imo, but this one maybe more punk while the previous has more dm cuts. Reeking Tunnels hxc's it down, but its prob the main highlight here, throwing you back on their debut.
The Body and Big|Brave Leaving None But Small Birds4.0
The direction is supercool. Deep folklore respect, with a drone vibe all around.
Frontierer Oxidized3.5
Rivers of Nihil The Work3.0
The Work feels more like a work in progress?...unlike prev album, this flows quite bad, very disjointed and kinda riffless. Meshuggaish track Dreaming Black Clockwork (clockwork lol), MORE? and maybe the closer are prob the best ones here. I get they are trying to make a more dynamic sound to a stiff genre, it's just not the way to do it. If its a grower shout back to me. tks
Sufjan Stevens and Angelo De Augustine A Beginner's Mind4.0
Had a great fuckin time. This is the Sufjan we all miss.
Carcass Torn Arteries4.0

such a low AVG for 2nd best from him. I can see why but had better hopes on you guys.
Spiritbox Eternal Blue2.0
Employed To Serve Conquering3.0
Fustilarian All This Promiscuous Decadence3.5
Aborted ManiaCult4.0
Not as strong output as Terrorvision or Retrogore, essentially because of solos and leads aren't so mindbending as in those 2 imo. Still their new approach inserting BM on their brootal and technical DM brand goes on and keeps me going. They also insert some pretty cool Hardcore nods and hooks. Sven is absolutely diverse and savage - dynamic and theatrical af as always.
Sleigh Bells Texis2.5
Oof. Site almost got me thinking this was the next cool thing. Well done.
Crimson Bridge In Pitch Black3.5
Green Lung Black Harvest3.0
There s a clear Pentagram worship to their brand of doom, only a little too much on the formulaic hard rock side for me.
Wharflurch Psychedelic Realms ov Hell4.0
Eunuchs The Castration of Gods3.0
Would prob rate this way higher if I was at the actual theater watching actors perform. Cool wacky experience nonetheless, with not much to get back to. Also cool to think so outside the box like this. Big props for that cover art. If you put it on you can tell how hard it is to find a similar artist XD. The metal genre tag is also debatable.
Sugar Horse The Live Long After4.0
"A decidedly average band." as selfdescribed on their own bandcamp page sets the bar right away, so you go for it with no expectations. Kinda simple in riffs, but it's nailed on atmosphere and dynamics, going between what they call "shoegaze", that on here for me stands for post punk or hardcore with (scr)emo reminiscences, with them gorgeous soundscapes, to the thickest of doomsludge riffs, with them badass and heavy af sound. Screamed vocals speak Keith Buckley (ETID) to me too much to ignore it, in a very good way. Exquisite? Yes. Awkward? Yes. A Banger? Indeed. Go for it.
Hooded Menace The Tritonus Bell4.5
Up tempo" more "accessible" Hooded Menace with hints of heavy metal. Tight af, as per usual, and the mix and tone hit just perfect. Best deathdoom tone in the biz. All their albums slay, what can I say.r
White Stones Dancing Into Oblivion3.0
This is still good but they lost the rock and psy touch imo. Its way more dm centered. While prod values are cool and remain revivalist is def way less hypnotic riffingwise, something I really valued on Kuarahy. This would benefit with some shinier prod but on other hand the id set on Kuarahy would be totally lost as well.
Turnstile Glow On4.0
I felt like a kid again but with these litlle postish electronic touches to justify why listen to it now, giving it some sort of freshness ahah very cool. Found it pretty tasteful. It riffs!r
Jinjer Wallflowers3.5
Devoid of Thought Outer World Graves4.0
While they share the same view of Cosmic DM from bands like Blood Incantation, the variance shown makes each track a beast of its own! I found it amazingly awesome for that matter. From the weird sax(?please confirm?) coming from some deeper far cave on Perennial Dream, to the doomier Four Cereulean Ways, to the nervous Sidereal Necrosis they show their versatility and experimentation on Death Metal. All tracks are long and some go around the 10 minute mark and none overstays for me. Great listen.r
Wolves in the Throne Room Primordial Arcana4.5
Deafheaven Infinite Granite4.0
Gazers feel offended more ppl are enjoying this because of proper sick drumms and actual songwriting. 2nd parts of songs and its transitions are super cool. Those 2nd parts are more post alt rock than actual shoe. Its kinda what makes this cooler than your average shugaze bedtalk band.rI could only point out that all tracks follow the same scheme, but that happens in so many bands we all love
Between the Buried and Me Colors II4.0
Its a statement, they don t care about the fantanos of this world. This feels very themselves and free. It s also very cool how they insert 70s prog worship on this. Loving it tbhr
Tropical Fuck Storm Deep States3.5
Qrixkuor Poison Palinopsia3.5
Diskord Degenerations4.0
Multiple listens worthy. What a treat of riff fest with the most as gorgeous as crazy bass licks. What the fuck, so many strong points but maybe Abnegations and Beyond the Grime are my faves.
Aenigmatum Deconsecrate3.0
King Woman Celestial Blues4.0
Massive album. If you dig ERR with Thou collab this doesn't fall much behind. Same vibe here and there, but with some poppish "a la Billie Eillish" song structures, specially on vocals, all "nicely" balanced with dirty depressed and pissed off sludge. Btw, I haven't said I like Billie Eillish. Boghz slays af.
Lantlos Wildhund2.5
Got some Hum's latest vibes (which could be awesome). Also some Ghengis Trons's latest stuff, but with vocals, or Great Dismal from Nothing, but somewhat worse than all these. Its cool they explore new territory but it did nothing on me. Track Vertigo is pre good tho.
Erdve Savigaila4.0
Fulci Exhumed Information4.0
So ya morons...death metal tracks are from fulci. Ambient tracks are collab or whatever with
TV-CRIMES. So...anyway I found this super awesome

Mulla جن3.5
Thou Hightower4.0
Year of No Light Consolamentum3.5
Drawn and Quartered Congregation Pestilence3.5
Cerebral Rot Excretion Of Mortality3.5
Thy Catafalque Vadak4.0
One of a kind project. If you love prog and experimental metal and had your share of psy(bient)trance this is for you. The multiplicity of instruments is also outstanding.
Amenra De Doorn4.0
Darkthrone Eternal Hails4.0
Darksabath vibe, supercool release. I even love that little linking atmo section. Also album art
is godtier.
Papangu Holoceno4.5
If you dig the murkiest of murky Magma textures, combined with prog&jazz free writing like KC, all complemented with some sick sludge riffing/mix and finished with the most stellar drumming...oh and almost forgot, Brazilian Tropicalia movement vibe sprinkled all around, then this may be what you're looking for in a long time.
Red Fang Arrows3.5
Very confused about how weird this sounds. They fucked up good. For me it could be the best of the last 3 albums. There's a lot of Melvins, QOTSA etc etc...still fun and entertaining, but damn, shit sound and unnecessary moments. I can still do this and clean the house yk.
Seputus Phantom Indigo4.0
Yautja The Lurch4.5
the "Tethered - Clock Cleaner - Catastrophic - The Weight" combo really gets me going here. Thick and Harsh bros. Sludgecore af sound!r

Subterranean Masquerade Mountain Fever3.0

Manchester Orchestra The Million Masks of God3.5
Logistic Slaughter Lower Forms of Life4.0
Moullinex Requiem For Empathy3.0
Nothing from their debut to hold on here. Did little on me but I 3 it cause I miss clubbin...
Atvm Famine, Putrid and Fucking Endless4.5
Atvm in my native language (Portuguese) would be literally translated to Tvna, which would be (I'm sure it isn't) the "perfect" name for the the fun they're all having along this whole thing. You can definitely tell their Death worship, yet always throwing multi-genre (tech prog dm rock psy thrash hm) adventurous writing. The guitar riffs and leads are super cool and unexpectedly melodic, but the massive highlights go in fact for the bass lines and licks and for this monstrously tight and insane drummer. Prodwise you can listen to everything and its melodic and beyond playful. Hands down. Sick cover art, sick cool band and debut.
Altarage Succumb4.0
David Bruno Palavras Cruzadas3.5
Paysage d'Hiver Geister4.0
Spectral Lore Ετερόφωτος4.0
If its "20 minutes of nothing" why take them into account then? Their explanation on bandcamp explained why like this output a little more over III. But that's just personal.

These guys can be both more experimental and more accessible than Nile. Great debut. Love the tribal vibe. This goes fuckin jazzier as you go.
BRUIT The Machine Is Burning...3.5
Sanguisugabogg Tortured Whole3.5
looool this groove is rad. Fave track here is probably Dick Filet...I like this cause it's not supposed to exist. Also big lol and props for the near porn drum snare.

cool stuff, great drums indeed, I sense I won't remember any of this, so I write
Cryptosis Bionic Swarm3.5
Blindfolded and Led to the Woods Nightmare Withdrawals4.5
The Antlers Green to Gold3.0
Wheel (FIN) Resident Human3.5
Ei wait! Why are these guys ripping off Soen for ripping off Tool? EHEH Legit tracks nonetheless, specially Movement and T/track
Perpetua (PT) Esperar para Ver3.0
Sweet post punk pop rock portuguese record. The downside is all tracks try to achieve what Blockbuster acomplishes. Falei de Cor is more rock distorded and it feels pretty good.
Dvne Etemen Ænka4.5
Big album and very well done. A bit long, considering it repeats the dynamic structures too much. Title track is legit stuff and all tracks are practically as good, throwing a lot of influenes in one homogenous sound. Asheran was killer tho and gave more the sense of adventour. Edit - @loveforeverchanges listen to CoL.
ERRA ERRA2.5
Mare Cognitum Solar Paroxysm4.0
I love the last track, Ataraxia Tunnels so damn much! I wish this was more like it. Edit: Okay other tracks are growing on me. That final one is just the cherry on top (SOTY!!!)
Ra Intercorrupted2.0
Nice guitar sound, the vocalist has a very good sound and range (amazing actually). There's some severe early Bieber cuts here that keeps me from digging this at mid 30's.
Turris Eburnea Turris Eburnea4.0
I know this is an EP but its only flaw is being too short. Well done, and albeit intricate and complex it manages to be very dynamic. Cotard Delusion creeps da fuck out with the violin line in the middle. The "tender yet disturbing" psyjazzy solo on Syncretism Incarnate is also proof of the dynamics, both on instruments and writing. Props for the sick bassline. For fans of Gorguts, Artificial Brain and the new pretty boys Ad Nauseam.
Brii Sem Propósito4.0
If you had your share of psytrance and love your lofi bm, I've never listened anything blending the genres so perfectly. The psyrock sections were also delightful, great guitarwork.
Eyehategod A History Of Nomadic Behavior2.0
okay, the album is Universally bad. Not even entitled to a "I don't get it/ not for me". At least and (un)fortunately he's clean.
Enforced Kill Grid4.0
yeah well...fuck it, give us one of these relentless hardcore thrash 4s every 2 years. TKS! They come, they fuck and they go.
Pupil Slicer Mirrors3.5
more tracks with dynamics like The track Mirrors Are More Fun than Television and this would be awesome. Relentless stuff. Great debut.
Isgherurd Morth Hellrduk4.0
Very good and surprising debut. Every post element on this is only provided by guitar soundscapes. Overall sound and vocals are evil af, but keeping a certain gazey vibe, that feels very welcome. Also the bass has also really standout points and listenable all along in the mix. It's overall not too complex but it delivers the goods. Fave track is prob Lucir Stormalah, with opposing frantic blast beats vs peaceful guitars and an also soothing supercool bass.r
Sepulcros Vazio3.0
The Crown Royal Destroyer3.5
This is still pretty good, but whoever's saying it beats Cobra Speed Venom is wrong XD I'm talking about the hooks and the difference between tracks, and the somewhat more organic production. But again I'm not a classic melodeath person, I'm just looking for fun.
Chevelle NIRATIAS3.0
I really don't know what to do with this yet. It's a pretty good mainstream metal album, despite a few missteps (it could go faster too).
Leon III Antlers in Velvet4.0
Mork Katedralen4.0
Mork is a black metal band from Norway. And I like it. MorkMorkMorkMorkMorkMorkMorkMorkMorkMork.r
Krallice Demonic Wealth5.0
Somehow this hits me as the kind of record I'd see a band like Ulver doing, if they hadn't quit BM, at this point (don't fight me). Sure, I'm not talking about the DM parts, or this maybe more proggy nature, but this sense of mixing trve BM with the avant-garde feel. Its different from any other Krallice (being GBF the closest). They recorded it during confinement and achieves an incredibly mysterious atmosphere, featuring amazing drums recorded through a phone (!), but also impressive takes on techy guitars and listenable, often brilliant, bass. The massive highlight though goes for the way the synths follow the all piece giving another layer of atmosphere, darkness and mystery. Its disturbing, smooth and heavy and I'm completely obsessed with it. I sense they'll never record the drums through a phone ever again (unfortunately).
Paranorm Empyrean3.5
Solid Swede thrash death debut, great production. I like the more accessible Vektor comparison, also catching sort of glam swede metal from bands like Tribulation, much provided by the similar vocals. Guitar leads tones are pretty damn straight beautiful.r
Iotunn Access All Worlds2.5
Julien Baker Little Oblivions3.0
Black Sheep Wall Songs for the Enamel Queen4.0
Dynamic. Emotional. Mature( yes indeed Simon) and Raw and Honest and Wrecking...and HEAVY AF. Getting the feeling of, whatever went on here, shit got real! Another great finding of 2021.
Los Males Del Mundo Descent Towards Death3.5
To some standard (yet immaculately done) atmo BM they add the most amazing and dynamic vocals in
the genre. Very impressive dude!
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard L. W.4.0
Wait, glad I did this. Way more balanced, varied and remaining solid. Doom album incoming I sense.
The Amenta Revelator3.0
Moullinex Minina Di Céu3.5
Gravesend Methods Of Human Disposal3.5
Ad Nauseam Imperative Imperceptible Impulse4.0
I now enjoy both their albums differently, but in similar measure. The writing is a bit more dynamic on the debut, giving it more mounts and hills to explore, but they also resemble like other known outputs (spectacularly nonetheless, and what outputs they are!). In here they try to aim for one full sound/ construction...which is this thing...I dig this experiment for what it is as they explained (check their bandcamp description). This is a beast of an album, with a ton of jaw dropping moments, it though requires a very focused listen and when you're fully engaged is when it shines the most.
Suffering Hour The Cyclic Reckoning4.0
The cool thing about this, and what makes this unique tbf, are the absense of the usual chugs, the way they use dissonance to reach some really catchy and melodic hooks, and offcourse the atmospheric approach, I mean, the heaviest thing here are prob the vocals. Instrumentally it differs from the usual bdm we are used too, and disso bdm in particular. Its quite a jam. It's more catchy than the previous, I think they cemented and assumed their sound here. I love the rock writing nature/ approach of it.
Foo Fighters Medicine at Midnight3.0
Cult of Luna The Raging River4.5
This EP just ran me over. The dynamics and emotions thrown on last 2 tracks are too immense. Really beautiful ending to an already engaging listen.
Heave Blood and Die Post People3.5
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets Shyga! The Sunlight Mound4.0
Cara Neir Phase Out4.0
Highly mockable release if you don't get it as pure mockery. Really like these nerds and the concept they go for on each release. Also big take on experimental, adding to the called screamoBM takes, hip/tripop, punk, jazz and yeap those retro game 8bit samples.
Revulsion (FIN) Revulsion3.5
I do like this groove ngl, albeit the album may lack a little of density, its a bit direct. It's still a pretty good and bad ass debut effort.
The Ruins of Beverast The Thule Grimoires4.5
Approaching a more gothic industrial vibe on this one, not so focused on heaviness, or the maddening fast bm (see Rain Upon the Impure), but definitely showing how versatile this guy can be. The atmosphere as always is sick and spot on. Digging more and more the melodic vocals (props for the amount of different type of vocals he can reach). Another big piece with room to grow on me. That closer is so lushy, woof.
Mefitis Offscourings4.5
For me this album is a prog black/dark metal near masterpiece. Take these late dm acts like Horrendous or prog Cryptic Shift, with a fair blackened melodic slice from bands such as Dissection, adding these 70's prog vibe with chanting choirs and some wicked solos, provided by one of the dudes from the cover - since the main band are only 2 of them. Cover is as quirky as bold eheh as they are. It's definitely one misunderstood gem going by. I'll make sure it doesn't fall into oblivion.
Tribulation Where the Gloom Becomes Sound4.0
The last one with Hulten on the writings. You could call it a little safe in continuation from Down Below. The back half of the album shows a little more energy and progression. Love Tribulation - Daughter of the Djinn and Funeral Pyre are prob my 2 faves.
Portrayal of Guilt We Are Always Alone4.0
Their melodic sections certainly give this cool post hardcore feel to it, but when they scream is more towards the nihilistic sludgecore area. They really nailed it here with where I wanted for them to go to. Like a more "accessible" (lol) Full of Hell. This shit is awesome for the 26 insane minutes.
The Body I’ve Seen All I Need To See3.5
This is the first The Body that really hits me. Maybe I should go back on their discog now.
Soen Imperial3.0
And their path towards mainstream continues. Albeit I may dig more albums such as Lykaia f.e. this can be seen as they creating their own thing, instead of emulating Opeth with Tool.
Weezer OK Human3.5
I don't care much about them since blue tbh, this one turned out pretty pleasant, its like a symphonic weezer, so weird but cool. I was ready to 3.5 it, but then my little one starts dancing every time I put it on. Edit - ssshhh she's sleeping now, 3.5 it is.
Eximperitus... Sahrartu3.5
Great album without being impressive. The track Tahadu rules hard.
Null (USA) Hiraeth4.0
FolkBM when its done this remarkably, detailed and beautiful is a real treat for the ears. I honestly feel like I want to jump happily as a goblin! A double album with over 1h40m that I never feel it gets any old. It atmo, it folks but it also riffs as a mofo. Incredible variety within the genre, a very uplifting vibe and big step up defining this project new sound. I can see it grow to a 4.5 soon.
Nervosa Perpetual Chaos2.5
Hulder Godslastering: Hymns of a Forlorn Peasantry4.0
As if this demo wasn t being solid enough, this brave gal pulls off this title track (Hymns of a Forlorn Peasantry), starting with her melodic vocals, so gorgeously! The following final track (From Whence an Ancient Evil Once Reigned) is also really good. The way she uses the synths gives it a singular vibe imo. Surprisingly really good record.
Asphyx Necroceros3.5
Shame (UK) Drunk Tank Pink4.0
Well, I have to say this pretty much suited me. Specially after the first 2 tracks, which are still kinda indifferent to me. The darker tone they show on the next tracks is really spot on. Vocals are pretty standard for these new postpunk bands a la IDLES. There's def a Protomartyr vibe too.. The drumming is really good actually. So, not really innovative, but it did it with me!
Bloody Hammers Songs Of Unspeakable Terror2.5
Honestly, this band seems to have everything except the talent (beyond the average). Some cool ideas aside, pulling off Weezer vibes and Green Day Riffs to the goth vibe they try to achieve here is really off-putting, making them fall in the radio rock arena, and they sure are no Misfits. Vocals are frankly meh. Love the damn cover art on all albums tho.
Radio Supernova Takaisin3.0
Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou The Helm of Sorrow4.0
Guitar tone on Crone Dance should be illegal [2]. Only track 1 was kind of meh.
Fractal Generator Macrocosmos4.0
OK folks. I just have to stop this 3.5ing nonsense. This album riffs a pack of awesome techdeath (which is not my "go to" genre per se)! Further listens made me enjoy it even more, specially the back half which contain tracks like Chaosphere, Shadows of infinity and fuckin Primordial m/m/m/. Bookends are also legit bangers. There's tiny little synth sounds and nuances one should not disregard. Also need to mention the amazing cover art, setting a single dude approaching some other planet landscape, which sets the tone for this journey perfectly imo.
Dread Sovereign Alchemical Warfare4.0
It's doomy but very hard rock one, with very interesting prog developments through tracks.
Miss Lava Doom Machine3.5
Gatecreeper An Unexpected Reality4.0
Gatecreeper going doom on last track was really something, keeping that vicious HM-2 mix of theirs. Straight out for lovers of Pallbearer or Bell Witch. Certainly doom knowledge acquired from their previous shared act Spirit Adrift.
Frozen Soul Crypt Of Ice3.5
This is what this is. Cool(Cold) breathed vocals, filthy mid-paced riffs. Could benefit for more solos, or leads, or tempo shifts, to add a bit more dynamics. The only thing really memorable is the cool and well achieved vibe.
Ancient Mastery Chapter One: Across The Mountains Of ...4.0
had this on repeat until they took it out from my music app. Here's the bandcamp - https://ancientmastery.bandcamp.com/album/chapter-one-across-the-mountains-of-the-dr-mmarskol. The synths are cheesy af, but also give this sense of retro charm to the songs, that when they riff, they go pretty damn hard. Sweet debut release.
Celestial Swarm Gateways to the Necroverse3.5
This shit pounds a ton. Really heavy and engaging listen. The programmed drums are super nasty.

Undergang Aldrig i livet4.0
Green Druid At the Maw of Ruin4.0
Sort of Electric Wizzard and Sleep meets Cobalt and Thou. Huge sound bros.
Shores of Null Beyond the Shores (On Death and Dying)4.0
A 40' minutes track to remember. From deep funeral doom to prog metal a la Opeth, makes this an intense, varied, but also very well written journey.
Hatebreed Weight of the False Self2.5
Palm Reader Sleepless4.0
Plini Impulse Voices2.5
Dark Tranquillity Moment3.0
Tombs Under Sullen Skies4.0
Simple but effective riffs, great production, huge and heavy sound, incredible songwriting - makes you circle to a true dark depressing metal compendium (BM, DM, Post, Sludge, Hardcore, Doom, Funeral Doom even...) everything we love on metal can be found here and still holds as one whole very solid narrative - again, simple on the surface, the album offers a lot of complexity, and an overall dark vibe you can just get lost in (in a good way). It could def get a little trim on some songs, but it feels very convincing overall, its a very good one for several listens.r
Killer Be Killed Reluctant Hero4.0
This one is stronger than the debut imo. Honestly wherever Puciato goes needs to stay at front as
in here. Still great props to Sanders here which never sounds bloated and pretty badass...there s
more than an handful of bangers here

Beherit Bardo Exist4.0
weird band. weird discog. weird album. I love weird.
Causa Sui Szabodelico4.0
Of Feather and Bone Sulfuric Disintegration4.0
This album hates us all...its very unwelcoming but weirdly rewarding after a couple of listens. Really abrasive and noisy sounding, yet they manage to go as fast as hell and still fit in a prime slower deathdoom track (Noctemnania ), offering a really nice balance to a very disturbing exp overall...closer fuckin slays with riffs. Perfect length for the genre.
System of a Down Protect The Land/Genocidal Humanoidz3.5
We want a BM SOAD LP. Been spinning Genocidal Humanoidz on loop for a while and it was pre awesome.
Solstafir Endless Twilight of Codependent Love3.0
Sangre de Muerdago Xuntas4.0
Eoront Gods Have No Home3.5
Really solid BM. Although it lacks a little of punch it focuses more on the atmosphere, where the
acoustic inputs (chords, violins/synths, choirs, horns etc) are often delightfully layered. The
Hermit and The Midday Herbs are my faves here I think.
Dvne Omega Severer4.0
Vennart In The Dead, Dead Wood4.0
ok altrock should be dead by now...I don't know why I'm checking this but I think its because its pretty good actually...the singer gave me a lot of vibes from Cornell and Alex Turner...felt a very mature work and fave tracks are Super Sleuth and Mourning On The Range.
Draconian Under a Godless Veil4.5
Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou May Our Chambers Be Full5.0
I am a son of Grunge, doomed, sludged and blackened for life...I can't be fixed.
Nothing The Great Dismal3.0
Mr. Bungle The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny4.0
Who says you can't insert La Cucaracha in a thrash metal album??? Are you guys listening to this?
ALbum slaps! I think my fave tracks Bungle Grind, Loss For Words and Sudden Death...oh boooy m/m/
Unfortunately this album will be sput out from tons of non metal/ thrash fans. The dude is fucking
52 with these vocals omg, not to mention the top notch line up he gathered for this.
The Flower Kings Islands3.0
Audn Vökudraumsins fangi3.0
Pallbearer Forgotten Days4.0
Sounding off after bumping this to a 4. Indeed this shit is aiming for bigger stages. I don't care for Riverbed and Stasis, but honestly I've always liked the opener since it was out. Silver Wings is a gorgeous song and right after you get these 2 in 1 songs (The Quicksand of Existing+Vengeance&Ruination) which were huge growers. Caledonia is as weird as original as it rgets.
Wobbler Dwellers of the Deep4.0
Untouched 70s symphonic prog worship. Very well done, masterfully perfomed transitions.
Undeath Lesions of a Different Kind4.0
Wake Confluence3.5
Wayfarer A Romance with Violence4.0
Amazing and solid release. A very post BM american western folk album. The closer Vaudeville
(f.e.) is a portent beauty.
Spirit Adrift Enlightened In Eternity3.0
I'm not sure if this full on doomless Heavy Metal mode is for me at all. Forget about it...go listen to Divided By Darkness.

Hellripper The Affair of the Poisons3.5
A fun formula, no more no less.
Anaal Nathrakh Endarkenment4.0
Disclaimer: This soundoff won't comment the cover. This album slaps. Definitely more formulaic
than experimental but it connects you to a thrill electric wire end to end. FUN RIFFS!!! BAD ASS
LEADS!!!INSANE VOCALS!!!
Gorephilia In The Eye Of Nothing3.5
Enslaved Utgard4.0
This album flows magically. Living proof that to be a prog (bm) band 8 minute tracks are not
mandatory. Definitely makes consider to check their discog.
Roisin Murphy Roisin Machine4.0
Isengard Vårjevndøgn3.5
Brave The Cold Scarcity3.5
Greg Puciato Child Soldier: Creator of God4.0
Super cool and modern "90's prime revival" (let it pass). But we all know this is precisely what rMr. Pussyato is about: full on 90's early 00s', in which Patton and the NIN's are a constant (with little Sade/George Michael hints), and an amazing ability to be abrasive, experimental and poppy at the same time. Surprised with his solo quality...although I miss the instrumental's tDEP mathy chaos.
REZN Chaotic Divine4.0
Super pleasant journey through psy stoner, heavy doom, reggae dub and middle eastern vibes.
Chill&Heavy.

Ok. This is huge but well worth it. Sweet heavy psy stoner.

Napalm Death Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism4.5
What an awesome continuation from Apex Predator. Production is a tad cleaner, yet they delve deeper in experimentation with this one, loosing a bit of the straight fw grindcore, specially noticeable in the post/ industrial takes a la Godflesh mixed with samples and nasty riffs like Pig Destroyer (f.e.), gives it this sense of dark/ disturbing instead of goofy. Def my kind of grindcore.
Skeletal Remains The Entombment of Chaos3.5
Pretty good OSDM, with a little cleaner production from what we are used to on all these new acts (Tomb Mold, BI etc). Riffs for days, although I wish this had more tracks like Tombs of Chaos.
Mastodon Medium Rarities4.0
ahahahaha stopping by just to say this album is as unnecessary as awesome! If any doubts we could
have, Asleep in the Deep, stripped from the vocals is plain awesome stuff...Jaguar God with or
without vocals is toptier Mastodon. Live tracks are hail to some of the nastier ones on Blood
Mountain (my fave Mastodon on long term). New tracks rule. Basically this rocks.
Marilyn Manson We Are Chaos3.5
Void Rot Descending Pillars3.0
Amazing atmosphere...as to the rest is ultimately unimaginative....

Mystic State My Own Private Island3.5
Joshua Burnside Into the Depths of Hell4.5
Pig Destroyer The Octagonal Stairway3.5
Two People Second Body3.5
I like this album and the group's vibe, but as the cover even suggests, it comes as a bit lazy, when comparing to the debut's quality, experimentation and feeling, on all tracks.
Motorpsycho The All Is One4.5
Impressive and carefully written and mastered album, gathering all of Motorpsycho's influences, from Beatles 60's pop, to 70's prog (Genesis, Floyd etc...), spacey shiny psy stoner and even those hints of indie rock. My first time with this band and a hell of a greetings card. Fave tracks are The Magpie and the N.O.X. set of tracks are an ode to the psystoner genre...beast set of tracks and a beast of an album.
Necrot Mortal4.5
Time to put some justice into this. This album is a major step fw from the debut, in terms of
writing, technicality and production. With these kind of unique time signatures they put
themselves among top acts like Tomb Mold, Ulthar, BI etc...as an all they nailed with the perfect
runtime (7 tracks) for this kind of DM, much like Tomb Mold. Riffs, leads and ID of their own
though, amazing drumming, and mainly catch how the solos fit super sweet. It's a really fun OSDM
listen and it may be one of the reasons why its being slightly overlooked here. Recd tracks: Dying
Life, Sinister Will, Mortal.
The Atomic Bitchwax Scorpio3.5
Ulver Flowers of Evil3.0
Definitely feels like the B side of Assassination. This time the songs lean even more into that (Depeche Modish) song formula and less into those electronic psy progressions you catch on Assassination that provides the desired depth.
Kaatayra Toda História pela Frente4.5
Incantation Sect of Vile Divinities3.5
Bill Fisher Mass Hypnosis and the Dark Triad3.5
Expander Neuropunk Boostergang4.0
If you never listened to this band you probably never heard this new genre called Neuropunk...ahah
its ok if you don't want to be cool. This thing is a big slapper of punkHXC with the most cool
post/sludge leanings, weather in the spacey guitars or the absolutely insane howling vocals. Give
it a go cause it rips ahrd. Neuropunk is my new fave genre, now you other bands start playing it
as well
XD.

Faceless Burial Speciation4.0
I do love my Mastodon tinged slice of BM. This album is weirdly progressive and I love it.
Krallice Mass Cathexis3.5
Imperial Triumphant Alphaville4.0
Brilliant effort, that ends up delivering a more futuristic feel to the World they create(brought much from the atmosphere and a more techDM approach, on a closer look) as opposed to the more actual NY scenery you catch on VL. Both in the same level of quality I'd say and this is still filled with panic, euphoric, jazzy and smokey yk...Alphaville is a big highlight here.
Defeated Sanity The Sanguinary Impetus3.0
I loved the technicality and the sound of all
instruments, but it just felt like free jazz.
Upon an impressed first listen I gave the 4,
the subsequent listens I found myself wanting
to like this more than I actually do...
Taylor Swift Folklore2.0

A.A. Williams Forever Blue3.5
Convocation Ashes Coalesce3.5
Pyrrhon Abscess Time3.5
There's something really central in music these guys successfully ignore. That's their job apparently. For me the samples kinda glue this mess together. Great job, if you take the ultimately un-engaging moments.
Bell Witch and Aerial Ruin Stygian Bough Volume 14.5
Admittedly floored. Admittedly a shinier production wouldn't hurt...
Paysage d'Hiver Im Wald4.5
Hi Wald. I'm DDDeftoneDDD and I'm cold now..fave tracks are Uber den Baumen, Alt and Weiter, Immer
Weiter.
Thaetas Shrines to Absurdity3.5
VoidCeremony Entropic Reflections Continuum: Dimensional...4.0
Somehow I put this in the line of acts like Cryptic Shift. It felt very proggy despite the thick crust OSDM aesthetics. Sure its more slimey..I find Cryptic Shift a little classier but damn this slays too.
Hum Inlet4.0
This album has a great atmosphere and immaculate production...postgrunge comeback/ reinterpreted thing. Very well done. My fave tracks are in pairs Step into You+The Summoning and Folding+Shapeshifter.

Pack with 16 of the filthiest Nirvana covers. r
Keleketla! Keleketla!4.0
Dedex doing the deeds! I'm an absolute mad about first 3/4 tracks with afro vibe. Keeping in mind its colab with such different artists, the album picks it up again towards the end with Papua Merdeka. Awesome listen. Fave track is International Love Affair.

Donny Benet Mr. Experience3.0
LMAO...the music is completely freezed in time, as the cover suggests. I like this character! It has a lot of love to give. This album is consistently good, a little too long...as if "we got the point dude".
Old Man Gloom Seminar VIII: Light Of Meaning 3.5
Jeff Rosenstock NO DREAM4.0
This is the only Rosenstock that spoke to me to this date...great vibe, inventive songwriting, pace changing like hell...speedy tracks/ sections...really feels like an old 90's punk band but fresh at the same time. I love many tracks on here...
Paradise Lost Obsidian3.0
The album/ songs are very well done, but as predictable as flawless in the end...something on these guys turn me off, still a nice listen and a step ahead from Medusa. I specially dug the last third. For me personally there's something very hard rock in the songwriting that drags me down...again personally, I much more enjoy the latest Katatonia, or last year's Swallow the Sun..
Perfume Genius Set My Heart On Fire Immediately2.5
a few very good songs...overall the album is a snoozer...
Charli XCX How I'm Feeling Now2.0
...and Oceans Cosmic World Mother3.0
One of Light, One of Soil rules. I wish the album followed that lower tone more often, it would give it a nice balance... other wise, and although the industrial aspects fit nice here and there, I feel a little too one sided and annoying high/screechy.I really dig the closer too, don't ask me why X)
Winterfylleth The Reckoning Dawn4.5
This is as aggressive as a beautiful. Loving this more and more. Their strongest output fs.
Cryptic Shift Visitations from Enceladus4.5
Gorgeous cover...immersive listen...Its amazing how lately cover arts and music are so complementary for me, mainly in this genre...this is some artsy tech thrash...as if you just left the vault 101, at some point you regret that (to the point you question yourself "where am I?"), because its an harsh and intricate journey, yet its all worth it, cause that's what heroes and adventures are made of.
Cosmic Putrefaction The Horizons Towards Which Splendour Withers4.0
Very cool cinematic syfy DM. To even think this is a one man project is beyond my reach.
Black Curse Endless Wound4.5
"...that features members of Blood Incantation, Spectral Voice, Khemmis, and Primitive Man." this
statement alone is reason enough for me to 4 it....turns out this album is one 4.5 of a slapper
for a start. Now you tell me, what does the main riff from t/track does to you?
Elder (USA-MA) Omens4.0
Bold but hard 4 cause I dig the band a lot. As said they always change their sound in each release. This time they leave you with somewhat of a disconcerting punk rock vibe, much of this caused by the "bad" vocals much more at front, where tuning is not a strength.
Katatonia City Burials4.0
Surprising, smooth and classy 4. Holds on subsequent listens. Recd tracks - Rein, Vanishers, Neon Epitaph.
Ulcerate Stare Into Death and Be Still4.5
Top notch release. Top notch classy production, balladesque version of Ulcerate m/m/ it rules after a few listens. Great and original blend of Post metal, Death Metal and BM.
Imperial Savagery Lashing the Feral Swine4.0
Cirith Ungol Forever Black3.5
Barishi Old Smoke4.0
I have to like all Masotodonian sound with a dear in the front cover. For lovers of early Mastodon
that don't mind going a little harder.
Oranssi Pazuzu Mestarin Kynsi4.5
I love this, can't yet to divide this from Waste of Space Orchestra, or the (for me obvious) grim vibe from Magma's (70'0s psyprog band) influence, in an evil and insane, yet tribal and entrancing, BM outfit.
The Black Dahlia Murder Verminous3.0
When do this drummer quit these dudes and goes full time for Slugdge?
Fiona Apple Fetch the Bolt Cutters3.0
cool indie hiphopper...beats like a white missy elliot
Benighted Obscene Repressed3.5
goes hard as expected. a bit unmemorable as expected.
Azusa Loop of Yesterdays4.0
Harder, with better production, swirls even further, cracks the brain, split in two and it multiplies x4 plus 3, then count 30 minutes again. They succeeded. The avg is only because ppl don't bother X)
The Strokes The New Abnormal4.0
I say this release is very intelligent.. Eternal Summer is very daft punkish. The album takes somewhat of a surprising and welcome turn, from Eternal Summer onwards, providing variety and showing songwriting abilities. Opener, Selfless, Bad Decisions, Eternal Summer, At the Door, Not the Same, Ode to the Mets are all tracks that stick. It's cool that some songs reminds us of some others famous ones. Band seems back in the game and I feel this as much has the debut.r
200 Stab Wounds Piles of Festering Decomposition3.5
Lord Vigo Danse de Noir2.0
Skam Sounds of a Disease3.0
The Flamingo Jones The 5th Floor Of The Tree3.5
Really good chilling collection of unedited psystoner songs. I get lot of vibes from The Doors
f.e., yet its a much more meandering background outfit.
Pure Reason Revolution Eupnea3.5
This is great...its like Thank you Scientist, but less wankey and better
Caustic Wound Death Posture4.0
Kaatayra Só Quem Viu o Relâmpago à Sua Direita Sabe3.5
Martin Grech Hush Mortal Core4.0
Big vibes from Michael Lessard on first few songs. I think this can be something. Still figuring. Really weird mix of indie rock and metal...in a good way. Definitely biiig vibes from Yorke and Buckley fs! Into the Sun is really good.r
Wake Devouring Ruin4.0
Super cool release, diving on the postHardcore Sludge, but with clear leanings to DM, BM and Doom. You can have it all this in one piece and keep it really coherent. Recd tracks - This Abyssal Pain; Torchbearer.
Temple of Void The World That Was4.0
Here I am, working at home, holding a (the 3rd) glass of red, and 4.5ing (as expected) a DeathDoom
album I was holding in anticipation. These guys simply know how to tight riff and get heavy
without the crazy speed, maintaining (as I expected) a sick ,slight dissonance in the melodic
leads very Hooded Menacelike that makes this my beach...also this guy's vocals are sow low yet
perceivable, which seems almost impossible. Recd Tracks - Self Schism; Casket of Shame. EDIT: I
was a tad drunk, but album is a solid 4.
Aeternam Al Qassam3.5
Very good prod. Great balance between melody and brutality. Esoteric arabic/ middle eastern vibe ever present. Its very consistent, but a tad hard to pin the highlights on a first listen. Really dig how this dudes prog here though...songs have unexpected turns, yet very cinematic.
Igorrr Spirituality and Distortion3.0
I can see myself bumping this one maybe, it has even more metal appeal...and I don't know yet if that's a good or a bad thing.
Pearl Jam Gigaton2.5
This is a good Bruce Springsteen album...oh wait...well PJ is happy and healthy for music's sake.
Demonic Death Judge The Trail3.5
Dua Lipa Future Nostalgia3.0
Sufjan Stevens and Lowell Brams Aporia2.0
Malokarpatan Krupinské Ohne4.0
Triangulo de Amor Bizarro oɹɹɐzıqɹoɯɐǝpolnƃuɐıɹʇ3.5
This is interesting, even if it seems that the band is divided between postpunk revival/noise rock and the neo Japan dreampop (even if this is in Spanish). As if one member from the band wants one thing and some other wants another. The title being the band up side down is completely anoying...good stuff all around tho.
Heaven Shall Burn Of Truth and Sacrifice2.5
...they are the best at doing a formulaic stiff genre (don't know why though, cause its such a resourceful genre), even more straight than straight thrash can be...uff...the gal is maybe hot, not my type of gal...and if that was not enough on me...its a double damn disc...veeeery tiring. This is about war, and I'm at war getting to the end of it. Apparently they are tired too, so decided to play some Ramstein instead and to vary a bit on wirting on disc 2.
Sweven (SWE) The Eternal Resonance4.0
While we struggle, we strive friends. By Virtue of Promise is bliss! Mycela gets heavier than anything on Sweven m/r
Myrkur Folkesange3.5
Serpent Column Endless Detainment3.5
2 first tracks induced me pure chaos, but then I got all the hard(math)core and bdm influences
that makes this awesome noisy yet kind of dynamic sound. After I checked their 2 LP's I needed to
lower the rate here.
White Stones Kuarahy4.0
Smooth, brilliantly paced, uncompromising, heavy and evil. Will be back with more details.
Afterbirth Four Dimensional Flesh4.5
What a brilliant fresh piece to unfold...imagine insert post gazey rock melodies in the most gritty kind of brutal deathmetal...awesome stuff...riffs are super dynamic in constant change (awesome to more awesome riffs though). I also personally dig how the drums sound here. Perfect mix. If you dig Artificial Brain you can't miss this. Not to mention, in this World's Corona threat, you have awesome song titles like - Spiritually Transmitted Disease or Minimum Self Distance...out of this subject, Beheading the Buddha is a hard song title, not has a hard as the track itself tho m/ x).
Code Orange Underneath3.0
They re like 4 kids trapped inside a computer trying to play metal with a really bad connection...the songs look unfinished cause you haters are trying to erase them...I just know it...still they managed to make a point in a very unique way...congratsr
Burzum Thulêan Mysteries3.0
Some songs are too short...ambient on some are very cool tho...other seemed too long...can't pass the idea this is an album of demos. Cool folk soundtrack, that's all folks.
Spectral Lore and Mare Cognitum Wanderers: Astrology of the Nine4.0
This is amazing and full of variety to keep you through the 2 hour journey. High quality BM. I'm very pleased with our Galaxy, our planet not so much. Potential bump on this beast.
Jonathan Hulten Chants from Another Place4.0
Invent Animate Greyview2.0
Psychonaut Unfold the God Man4.5
This album is very good though and its like a starting mash up, that match my tastes on too many parts for me to ignore, and it slowly builds into one own identity as the album goes on. The album is very immediate, but, in my experience, it holds to many listens. 70 minutes fly by. Fave tracks are Sannanda, Celestial Dictator....and beast 15 minutes closer. Basically what Dedex said in his soundoff but with 4.5 rate.
Tombs Monarchy of Shadows3.5
Internal Rot Grieving Birth3.5
This goes hard, little shit given to atmo here...if you dig Insect Warfare you will enjoy this.
Dark Fortress Spectres from the Old World4.0
Really good metal hybrid. From the melodic BM starting point, this goes in several influences (prog, DM, thrash, techeath (intro). Beyond that, another really strong point is the variety of the vocals output, from the harsh BM ones to almost a post/sludge melodic ones. I loved the soft vocals on Spider in the Web. Also the vocals on the verse on Pali Aike or Isa f.e. gives me serious Mastodon vibes, but with its own character and freshness...In the Deepest Time is also a main jam, as with the massive T/track m/ Only setback for me are the 2 final tracks which seemed a bit unnecessary, albeit with a cool atmosphere. Very solid and focused piece for such a proggy band - 4.2.
Regarde Les Hommes Tomber Ascension4.0
OMFG if that ain't a way to end a metal album I don't know what is m/m/m/. Honestly think this is a big step up from their previous, which I dig a lot but still feel it is "one sided mood" and relies to much on atmo. Recd tracks - The Crowning; Au Bord du Gouffre.r
Slift Ummon4.5
Album is pretty brilliant. The variance shown for a psystoner album is impressive...the album flow is also remarkable. Spacey guitars, psy synths, 70's vibe choirs and tight little bad assdrumming. I get some awesome late Elder vibes on this. Recd track - Citadel on a Satellite.
Fluisteraars Bloem3.5
Intronaut Fluid Existential Inversions3.0
The Motion Mosaic Avant-Garbage4.0
Banger album. tDEP's influence among others, leaning more towards metalcore.
Xenobiotic Mordrake3.5
Definitely this started to grow after second spin. The album has its highlights, such as Inverted, Saphris, Grieving the Loss of Self and T/tracks. Overall the drumwork is damn great and the techdeath aspects slay.
Agnes Obel Myopia3.5
Polaris The Death of Me2.0
Hypermania was cool...couldn't finish this, though...r.
Skyforest A New Dawn3.0
meh its ok
Vetur Vist4.0
Great vocals and variety. Riffz and Blast Beats for days!
Tame Impala The Slow Rush4.0
It might be Time and One more Our are my faves. Bad call for a Valentine's day album though. Very detailed and very DaftPunkish. I'm gonna set at 3.5 but still don't know if its growing like a mofo or dropping like another. Edit - growing like a mofo.
Kvelertak Splid4.0
This album is pretty solid and step fw from the previous, badly produced one (fixed by Kurt Balou here). They consolidate their more approachable sound. Necrosoft is standout, such as the Ghostlike, very hard rock riffing, track Fanden ta dette hull! (check that awesome punk HXC riff and solo varying with hard rock riffs). My highlight of this album though are the more serious mood 3 final tracks, specially Delirium tremens and Ved bredden av Nihil, that shows another side of the band yet to explore.
Blaze of Perdition The Harrowing of Hearts3.5
Psychotic Waltz The God-Shaped Void2.5
I like everything...yet nothing on here...except the badass flute on Pull the String...but I'm sure its a musical joke on here X) good production, well executed, well sang (even though a bit cheesy) and even well written, but the pact they seem to made to do not riff fast hurts my butt...cause it ain't even doom...it's a slow paced hard rock and its not for me. This is the living proof psychotic differs from psychedelic, as the tags firstly suggested...
Dzo-nga Thunder In the Mountains3.5
Bambara Stray3.0
hum...maybe a 3.5 but somewhat this sounds irrelevant to me, only time will tell. I still owe this
a closer listen, caus there's def a few good tunes.
Hate Disposal Legacy3.5
Loathe I Let It In And It Took Everything4.0
I get a ton of mixed feelings on this one. Hoping to God that Two-Way Mirror is not the "best Deftones track of the year", although its pretty perfect that one.
Envy The Fallen Crimson3.5
TKS Sput for setting me up to Japanese screamo...I mean wtf...I get a lot of post vibes from bands such as Alcest. Pretty good and genuine stuff. First time with the band. I kinda envy ppl who are able to adore this (sorry for the pun). I'm crazy for the tracks Statement of Freedom and A Faint New World, they are so awesome, but then I end up getting super annoyed until Fingerprint Mark (another banger). I'm sorry I don't live up to this hype. Maybe that changes again...
Sepultura Quadra4.0
This grew a lot on me on 2nd spin. It delivers awesome riffs and variation. 3rd part is my fave
from this quadra for now, although it starts pretty thrash strong with Isolation. I dig the
concept too. Guardians of Earth acoustic (and all song tbh) is so m/! Pentagram is one hell of an
instrumental track. Also Raging Void's drums have some arrhythmic flow making it damn interesting
and Voivod(esque) at times. Rating 3.8.
Spanish Love Songs Brave Faces Everyone2.0
For someone that listens to pretty much one sided stuff, this is very one sided, I honestly felt I
was listening to the same song, the same mood, the same 3 notes in different songs...awful
experience overall...there's practically nothing on this genre (emo) that I can see above average
music. I try to peak to see what's hype about and end up always disappointed.
The Spirit Cosmic Terror3.0
Everything is very well done, although also a bit inoffensive/ sterile.
Hallas Conundrum4.0
I started very skeptic at this album, yet the last 4 tracks won me over. They make some of the coolest prog as the album goes. Great retro/vintage take.
Yuri Gagarin The Outskirts of Reality3.5
Great drums...I'm all in for the relentless opener and the floydishstoner closer.
Butcher 666 Goats Carry My Chariot4.0
Thy Catafalque Naiv4.0
All album is very good. Track 5 and 6 really clicked with me, but hey, I'm a big fan of that flute
folksy vibe with electronics a la Shpongle. Geometria somehow gave me no interest on checking
their discog...now I want to do them all. No complaints on the metal sections at all! Its really
awesome how seamless the genre fusion gets on Naiv.
Nero di Marte Immoto3.5
They definitely have what I already can call Italian Dissonant Black Metal (from bands like Noise
Trail Immersion f.e.)...also find this to have a lot of "post math jazz rock" influence. I
understand complaints about the vocals, but I actually think they add a brilliant interpretation
characteristic. Very interesting release. The only set back is that it gets too loose and
atmospheric for me, loosing at the same time just a little bit of focus, that could turn this into
awesome levels (imo). Recd track - La Casa Del Diavolo
Marrasmieli Between Land And Sky4.5
Okay...Imma cut it straight...I'm not a folk fan but this Finnish trio's debut is making me
reconsider. Sweet cheeseless and fast folk BM, super cool keyboards (of flutes, violins and
choirs) and several appointments off awesome DM thrash riffs hit my G spot every time. Even the
somewhat bad production adds something to this for me. I think the vocals here are just perfect.
First and well deserved 4.5 of the year. Recd track - Those Who are Long Gone.
Death. Void. Terror. To the Great Monolith II4.0
I listened to this.......and I'm still alive
Sons of Apollo MMXX3.5
There's something really cool on this hard rock outfit mixed with super group prog wanking. Really
dig the piano added on King of Delusion and the ending 15 minute track is sure another highlight.
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead X: The Godless Void and Other Stories3.0
After the The Opening Crescendo (lol - its really the title), the first proper track is really rbad. For me this starts to heat up somewhere in the middle (Children of the Sky maybe?) and ends rup pretty ok. It's somewhat a dated sound but some prog aspects keeps it interesting and scratch rsomewhat of an old (late 90's) alt rock's hitch...if you have one.
Dragged Into Sunlight Terminal Aggressor II4.0
This song really drags (at first...its suposed to...) something really evil into the sunlight m/ If I'm not about "atmosphere for the atmosphere alone" in first part of the song, I'm all about how this shit ends m/. Not bad at all for the first 2020 release listen. 23:23 its where its at boyyyyz!
Mystic Prophecy Metal Division2.5
Curse of the Slayer is a great song...I'd add that Die With The Hammer is another song that match my taste. The album hits perfect on songwriting for any Power Heavy Metal fan.
Vengeful Spectre Vengeful Spectre3.5
If ever was possible to merge all Chinese cliche sounds into one BDM outfit and remains cool it is
here fellas. 3.7.
Tod Huetet Uebel Nomen Nescio3.0
This is good stuff, still programmed drums too much at front here. Somehow this just don't live up to debut's fierce, careful work and hooks.

2019
The Acacia Strain It Comes in Waves3.5
And just when I thought 2019 was over...I know I don't need to discogrun these fellas...apparently they've outdone themselves. I still kinda wish they go a bit faster here and there...great vibe though...will come back to it.
Worry Wisdom Through Shame3.5
Pretty good smashing debut, with some moments of tenderness. DoomSludge with HXC reminiscences.
Null (USA) Lore of a Sleeping Forest3.5

VULTUROUS................IS.................DA.......................FUCKIN................SHIT

Disembodied Transfiguration3.5
Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket Det Onda. Det Goda. Det Vackra. Det Fula.4.0
Lord Mantis Universal Death Church4.5
Filthiest band around!!! They've done it again...A fuckin whip...even went acoustic. Recd Tracks -
Damocles Falls; Fleshworld.
Blood Incantation Hidden History of the Human Race5.0
Abigail Williams Walk Beyond The Dark4.0
The melodic vocals are very well pulled for this type of BM...whata surprising good release this is.
Left Behind No One Goes To Heaven4.0
Origami Angel Somewhere City2.5
With a song or two about bullying and being bullied...naive sounding, yet with some nice and fun jams in techmetal lol much as Hail The Sun sounding. Songwriting is ok, the rate is me not them...
Esoteric A Pyrrhic Existence5.0
"1 hr 40 mins what the actual fuck how do you people have time for this shit". Here's your answer rbutt. - listen to this instead of 3 shitty albums. I also bet this is going to be Hawks AOTY.
Schammasch Hearts of No Light3.5
Its apparently very straightforward (Behemoth BM influenced) , but induces you in some kind of trance. I also dig the post and experimental aspects of it. Ego Sum Omega is indeed very Omeguish m/.
Rorcal Muladona4.0
Waatta piece od simply abrasive and raw atmospheric blackened sludge m/ ufff. Recd tracks: She Drained You of Your Innocence and You Poisoned Her With It; A Sea of False Smiles Hiding Murder Jealousy and Revenge
FKA Twigs Magdalene3.0
Michael Kiwanuka Kiwanuka4.0
the opener is catchy af...then its like its the vibe doing its part. Also the tracks are weirdly linked, in a good way. Anyway gave a few more listens and the album is really smart.
Wilderun Veil of Imagination3.0
Too Disney Townsend for my taste, yet its cool those a la BWP riffs and leads. Also is very cool that there are people who fall in love for this. This kind of music is needed. The opener would make my day.
Nile Vile Nilotic Rites4.0
New vocals are very different from the uniqueness cof cof cof ones from classic Nile, but they end up having cool variations along the tracks. I think they are pretty interpretative, just different ...very powerful low growls, almost Akerfeldtlike and somewhat theatrical as, lets say, Sulphur Aeon or even Meshuggah at times (?)...very dynamic...anyway, just my view unprovided from any nostalgia. Album kicks asses.
Counterparts Nothing Left to Love2.5
there's nothing left to love here.................
Desert Sessions Volumes 11 and 124.0
This album is awesome...even better than last one.rAlso >VillainsrGotta love Far East For the Treesr
Fit for an Autopsy The Sea of Tragic Beasts4.0
Gojiresque riffing in deathcore form, awesome end to end. Get ready to headbang m/. Recd tracks - Mirrors; Unloved; Birds of Prey.
Norma Jean All Hail3.0
Leprous Pitfalls3.5
They are good at what they settle to do...full on pop style here tho. Muse could take this road tbh.
Alcest Spiritual Instinct4.0
Definitely not focused on building that light vs dark thing they are known for. Perfectly fine by me. Neither those endless crescendos well known for the genre, which I find sometimes to be kinda annoying...just me tho. This fits me the right way. Songs are beautiful...and there's cool riffing this time, in detriment for multi-details/instrumentation m/r
The Great Old Ones Cosmicism4.5
Album is a 4 to 4.5. Cover is a 4.5 to 5. This and the new BAN are at the top of my BM of 2019. Recd tracks - Lost Carcosa; A Thousand Young.
Teitanblood The Baneful Choir4.0
Here's my 4! Fave tracks are Leprous Fire and Verdict of the Dead.r
Patrick Watson Wave4.0
I enjoyed very much this album...so many good tunes with psychedelic touch on drums and electronics.
YIN YIN The Rabbit That Hunts Tigers3.5
Blut Aus Nord Hallucinogen4.5
I think the cover is awesome, however it can be misleading (with the title of the album) when you jump expecting for a psychedelic exp. Haallucinahliaand and Cosma Procyiris though are indeed a cool tone change towards this idea. The album. Its not indeed an immense trip through psychedelia but a very gazey and beautiful BM album, with some true metal riffs to keep you engaged m/
BABYMETAL Metal Galaxy2.0
Only this site to put me listening to stuff like this lol fave tracks are Shanti, Majinai and Night Night Burn...but this is what this is X)
Mortiferum Disgorged from Psychotic Depths4.0
OK. This album destroys!!!! m/ crusty filthy doom, with accelerations of every kind. Massive drum sound.
Gatecreeper Deserted4.0
OK Gatecreeper...here's my 4...just make it better on the next one!
Seizures Reverie of the Revolving Diamond4.5
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Ghosteen3.5
Vukari Aevum3.5
Rothadas Rothadás4.0
Super cool doomy stuff to super mean DM stuff . Very much in the vein of acts like BLood
Incantation, but more Doom induced, like Spectral Voice. It rules super hard. I hope they make it
up to this demo in a proper release!
Hashshashin Badakhshan3.5
Drumming takes the lead here and its often impressive, sometimes almost don t serve the music's purpose, but on other hand gives it a little twist. In the end sound is very original and well executed. Cool assassin s creed soundtrack ahahah
Creeping Death Wretched Illusions4.0
This one is easy for me. Very fun, sea of riffs and breaks. I think the reviewer explain very well what this is about. Not very impressed with drums but they do the job. Its not really crossover but you can tell the way they change and punch that these guys come from an HXC background.
Opeth In Cauda Venenum4.0
Of Mice and Men EARTHANDSKY2.5
How many lyric clich?s and lazy melodic vocals can you throw in one album? Songwriting ain't all bad tho
Car Bomb Mordial2.5
Cult of Luna A Dawn to Fear5.0
potential 5 here tho...I just love when these bands get real classy X)
Monolord No Comfort3.0
Slayyyter Slayyyter1.0
Chelsea Wolfe Birth of Violence4.5
Crypt Sermon The Ruins of Fading Light3.0
Weeping Sores False Confession4.0
..awesome album!!!!!!! cutting violins on Transfiguration is something I never "saw" in music: "False Confessions is an uncommonly good heavy record. Few bands have been able to take death metal and doom to such deliriously weird places while still retaining that beautiful and affecting meditative experience. Weeping Sores, however, do it expertly."
Winterfylleth The Siege Of Mercia4.0
The Hu The Gereg2.5
Vitriol (USA) To Bathe from the Throat of Cowardice4.0
Put it as loud as you can and get ready for an ear rape...of the best kind...the most unpleasantly rgood listen from 2019. Dissonant DM. Impressive how, with this kind of mix, you can hear the bass rall the way through and its awesome. Solos, when they come in, they are facemelting...too much!? ryou may think that...but there's always something that keeps drawing you in...dare I call varied r(?). Anaal's vibe on vocals, but the levels of insanity/ wall of sound provide a more groovie and rhooked Portal sound. Recd Tracks - I Drown Nightly; The Rope Calls You Brother; Pain Will Define rTheir Death.
Cognizance Malignant Dominion3.5
Cognizance is musically very good, only flaw I found is they sound a bit generic melotechdeath. Maybe I find more character on further listens...there's a ton a sweet sections there though (even the folk ones)...easy 3.5 for a start.
Mizmor Cairn4.0
T H I C K!!!!These drums are so damn dry...gotta love this. Vocals are awesome. Great mix of Doom, Sludge and Drone music. Recd Track - Cairn to God.
Mgla Age of Excuse4.0
Serpent Column Mirror In Darkness4.5
Crazy awesome mathy post blackcore piece I must say. I loved the more urban feel this has in relation to debut. A step up in terms of deep atmosphere and riffs. If you dig your hardcore and your crazy BM you oughta check this.
Lana Del Rey Norman Fucking Rockwell!3.0
the track california was nice, that cover of sublime's cover keeps it goin..and cheers for bar ts ts tender. Inovation there.r
Tool Fear Inoculum5.0
Witch Vomit Buried Deep In A Bottomless Grave4.0
The pace changes and grooves hard on this one m/ Imma 4 it. Solos and sections are resourceful af!

Tropical Fuck Storm Braindrops3.5
The album definetely lacks the punk energy from the first one. I have to say it ends pretty strong emotionaly but first part is a bit of a let down imo, creatively speaking. Maybe its a grower yeah...r
Knocked Loose A Different Shade of Blue4.0
This shit looks all the same yes, relies too much on breakdowns yes, kinda like these stupid vocals yes (low growls are amazing btw)...its awesome lol such as the previous one. They keep the HXC-Thrash crossover and add a more DM approach. Props for Keith Buckley's appearance. Recd tracks - By The Grave; Mistakes Like Fractures; Forget Your Name (Feat Keith Buckley); ...And Still I Wander South
WRVTH No Rising Sun3.5
Interesting outfit...you must check if you're looking for new sounds in metal. A tad unmemorable and too watered vocals lowered my rating a bit. Great stuff though.
Shadow Of Intent Melancholy3.5
Album is pretty solid but ultimately sterile, which makes some emotional passages needless, and even cringy at times. Classic but tight songwriting. Recd tracks - The Dreaded Mystic Abyss; Oudenophobia; Barren and Breathless.r
Cerebral Rot Odious Descent Into Decay3.5
Can't say I'm not enjoying their doomier side...I kinda like the balance between that and more DM parts...solos are a bit one trick pony but ripping cool
Pijn and Conjurer Curse These Metal Hands4.0
Conjurer hand in hand with Pijn went full Post and unexpectedly uplifting. This was very beautiful. It really makes the name High Spirits fairness. People mentioned Baroness, but I'm getting vibes from Mastodon's EP Cold Dark Place.
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Infest the Rats' Nest4.0
The Comet Is Coming Trust in the Lifeforce of Deep Mystery3.5
Mefitis Emberdawn4.0
The Contortionist Our Bones3.0
Pretty and subtle yap...miles away from Clairvoyant's denseness and layered darkness.
Slipknot We Are Not Your Kind3.0
Bon Iver i,i3.0
Russian Circles Blood Year3.5
All consistent...the nicest acoustic guitars...This as some straight up beauty in it with some anguish in the mix...that closer smashes.
Wolves at the Gate Eclipse2.0
Agreed this ain't mainstream. This is poor mainstream.
Shades of Deep Water Death's Threshold3.5
I'm not big on funeral doom, but could listen to track 2 all day.
Tomb Mold Planetary Clairvoyance4.5
So, it really still feels like Tomb Mold but yeah in a more shiny DM approach...nothing wrong so far m/ I like this band very much. It jazzgroooves boys. Tom Mold goes to space, keeping their ID and time signatures and that's brilliant. Also a certain southern rock feel is maintaineds and praised by me. Recd Tracks - Beg for life; T/trackrCelurean Salvation; Accelerative rPhenomenae.r
Enforced At The Walls4.0
Seems like Power Trip gave new air to these relentless Thrash Crossover bands. Great fuckin debut.rRecd Track - The Heat
Wormed Metaportal4.0
Bizu Coolective Talkback4.0
Disentomb The Decaying Light4.0
It goes brutal, hard and with one of the best productions and basslines of the year.
Torche Admission3.5
Although each track have fairly one riff, the vibe and atmo are awesome and somewhat original (?). For sure they teach Baroness a lesson how to produce a sludge album.rAdmission is one of the best ones here...certainly different from the rest of the album...almost tunes from bands like Interpol etc (post The Cure etc). Also dig the slight change on What Was to make almost a single chorus...its a pity they don't gamble more on these slight changes X
Elder (USA-MA) The Gold and Silver Sessions4.5
Great turn for eclecticism. Band is showing true craft, going for a sort of 70's chilling vibe this time. If you're looking for classic stoner you won't get it.
Purple Mountains Purple Mountains3.5
Immortal Bird Thrive On Neglect4.0
Perfect blend of BDM, Grindcore e HXC. Excellent songwriting imo. A little less musically driven
than the previous one, which had a rock approach here and there. Girl's vocals are awesome btw.
Joliette Luz Devora4.5
Esa es la ultima vez que te escribo...adios...adios
False Portent3.5
Super cold and fast paced BM. Drums and bass are amazingly fast. Vocals are BM classic, but pretty flawless. Guitars are tremolo grandiose. Recd Tracks - The Serpent Sting, The Smell of Goat (THIS TRACK IS BEAUTIFUL)
Falls of Rauros Patterns in Mythology3.5
A very beautiful piece, although sometimes I forget I'm listening to it. Recd Track - Weapons of Refusal
Heilung Futha3.0
I've had my trance experiences for a life time ahaha...Highlight Tribe vibes on this ahahah well in a primordial viking manner...
Beastwars IV3.0
How to sing out of tune but with sentiment makes good music. Storms of Mars is one awesome track.
He Is Legend White Bat3.0
It's as heavy as goofy...that's fun...but there's a display here (like a medley) of what the band could be, but still a radio one.
The Aristocrats You Know What...?3.5
Virtuous, Free, Unfocused, Fun Jams. r
Thom Yorke Anima4.0
Shirokuma Clothes I Wear For The Space I'm In3.0
State Faults Clairvoyant4.0
Fuming Mouth The Grand Descent4.0
The album is a bit the same HM-2 tune all along, but damn the music sounds pissed m/...Unlike some opinions, with further listens, I got the album takes a slight turn on the second part, giving enough variation to hold it up. The latent HXC (even in the few melodic parts) is great.
Bill Callahan Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest4.5
It's as sketchy as organic and sensitive. A lesson on how to nurture and raise happiness.
Slomatics Canyons4.0
Such an interesting release for the genre. Vocals are awesome and clean echoed. To the sludge
thick slow riffing you add this synth soundscapes and almost gothic organ at times, giving the
desired sense of space and somewhat dark. Cool af release. Recd Tracks - Gears of Despair;
Telemachus My Sun; Organic Caverns II.
Baroness Gold and Grey2.5
.........................interludes and closer are pretty cool...
Thank You Scientist Terraformer3.0
its cool, they just left their hearts somewhere in the way...
This Gift Is A Curse A Throne of Ash4.0
This Slaps! Evocative as hell BM with hints of HXC and Post in the mix. Someone get his hands on
reviewing this. WWOOAAAA! Recd Tracks - Gate Dweler; Monuments for Dead Gods; Wolvking; Wormwood
Star
Cave In Final Transmission3.0
Some tracks here are way too short...like samples of what they could ve been (makes sense they're rpractically demos recorded in a single take, before Caleb's death). Props for tracks like Night rCrawler and Lanterna though.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets And Now for the Whatchamacallit3.0
Darkthrone Old Star3.5
Gaahls Wyrd GastiR - Ghosts Invited4.0
Fulci Tropical Sun4.0
Esoctrilihum The Telluric Ashes of the Ö Vrth Immemorial Gods4.0
Heavy, overwhelming, atmospheric and esoteric.Through the echo you reach the riffs and when they rriff...they riff hard and pounding m/ pretty majestic and mystic experience. Recd Tracks -Thar-rVoknargh; Aborted Sun; Black Hole Exit; Inexorable Plague Of Time.
Deathspell Omega The Furnaces of Palingenesia4.0
Flying Lotus Flamagra3.0
Misthyrming Algleymi4.0
Perfect vibe, even to someone who's not much into folk BM such as me, and perfect runtime rpreventing from boredom. The vocals on front don't bother me much either (on the contraire they rrule)...not as much as these unknown characters used on each track and band's name.
Destroyer of Light Mors Aeterna3.5
Fire! Orchestra Arrival4.5
Trvth A Galvanizing Derivation3.5
best tracks here are, no doubts, T/track and Affect The Whole...I don't how do explain it better
than "I love those toolish riffs melting on more dissonant bm vibe". Congrats!
Full of Hell Weeping Choir4.0
I praise the return of the Sludge and to some aspects of the old mix m/ (like those low growls answering to , no less guttural, high ones....UUUUUHHH?...WREEEEEE!...UUUUUHHH?...WREEEEEE!), there's still some death that was explored on Trumpeting...Recd Tracks - Burning Myrrh; Armory of Obsidian Glass; Angels Gather Here; Ygramul the Many
Rammstein Untitled3.0
Warforged I: Voice4.5
Highly impressive AvantGarde Progressive Blackened TechDeath, with acoustic, piano and psychedelic and/or jazzy appointments making all this thing really shine throughout...It never falls into blandness, great sense of atmosphere, can even show an emotional side. Beneath the Forest Floor hits me every time. Then you have crazy jazzy track Old Friend or the best metal minute of the year (without a doubt) on The Color Of My Memory's first and exact minute.
Possessed Revelations of Oblivion3.5
Employed To Serve Eternal Forward Motion3.0
We Never Learned To Live The Sleepwalk Transmissions3.5
Spirit Adrift Divided by Darkness4.5
This band sounds really classic and modern at the same time...coolest band and this is super hard
to pull off. Band is def on par with peers such as Khemmis or Pallbearer (Realizing that now).
Album is as sweet step ahead from their debut. Recd Tracks - Divided by Darkness; Hear Her.
Fetid Steeping Corporeal Mess3.0
N'Zwaa Maha Kali4.0
Amon Amarth Berserker2.5
Ringworm Death Becomes My Voice3.5
If you want crossover thrash - hardcore riffs this is for you. Do not disappoint in that regard.
Kampfar Ofidians manifest4.0
Incredibly varied collection of songs of pagan BM m/. The rock/ metal influences are immense with
this one, allowing tracks like Dominans (with some witchery female vocals) to really shine.
Stellar Master Elite Hologram Temple4.5
what!? a BM album with a DMT explanation sample from Terence McKenna a la Shpongle? Sold....you
got me there. This album has brilliant dark/industrial atmosphere provided by the coolest
electronic inputs. Very Cool DoomBM. Recd Tracks: Apocalypsis; Ad Infinitum; The Beast We Have
Created.
Illyria The Carpathian Summit3.5
PostBlack/ Blackgaze at its finest in the vein of Alcest. The dearest cover on metal scene. The album's beauty matches the cover. Everything is really well done and dynamic with great attention to details. Harsh, melodic, brilliant acoustic features and amazing basswork.
The Damned Things High Crimes3.5
As if ETID went Weezer. Still better than any late Weezer. Keith shows again he's an
awesomeperformer and can do pretty much everything. The rest is normal but unpretentious
satisfying fun bluesrock. Recd tracks - The fire is cold; Invincible; Cells.
Sunn O))) Life Metal3.5
I listen to this so ppl don t spoil me GoT here at work...cool contemplative stuff, loosing their frightening side when compared to The Black One. Sun O))) on Zen Mode
Belzebubs Pantheon of the Nightside Gods2.5
Blyh Awake to Emptiness3.5
Solid Full On BM release. Excellent drumming and atmosphere. Slow tempo bass contrasting with fast
drums fitting perfectly, give the sense off brutality and space for some beauty across the five
tracks. Rec Tracks - Don't mistake me for a friend; Utica Crib.
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Fishing For Fishies3.0
Dead To A Dying World Elegy3.5
Violin guided BM, mixed with sludgedoom and flirts even with blackgaze, turns out to be a very
rpleasant and varied experience. Female vox almost blows, but all tracks and album flows
nice.rRecd rTracks - The Seer's Embrace; Empty Hands, Hollow Hymns; Of Moss and Stone.
Allegaeon Apoptosis3.5
Potential 3 album with too many tech highlights to be ignored. Found the melodic parts vs harsh parts a bit inconsistent. m/ Recd Tracks - Interphase // Meiosis; Metaphobia.
Thou Audiotree Live4.0
Mastodon Stairway to Nick John4.0
High on Fire Bat Salad3.5
Numenorean Adore4.5
Oh boy...this comes out to me many times as if Deftones and Gojira had a blackgaze child, but I'm sure everyone would find their own vibes from this, across many genres, from punk rock to osdm. This sense of nostalgia does not compromise how fresh and modern this still sounds. Full of melody, memorable tracks, hooks, catchiness and highlights (rare in the genre). In love with it. Recd tracks: Portrait of Pieces;Horizon; Regret; Coma.
Hath Of Rot And Ruin4.5
This may please fans of more old school death metal (Opeth, Bloodbath, Cryptopsy) but also the
more proggy new school ones (Slugdge, Sulphur Aeon, Aborted). One of the best DM releases of the
year so far and it will be hard to match. Recd Tracks - Rituals, Accursed; Worlds Within.
Inter Arma Sulphur English4.5
Band is pretty much underrated here! Dudes go from absolute heavy rampage to the most beautiful
melodic tunes. My fave is clearly Paradise Gallows in terms of that doom-bm-postmetal balance. On
this one they kept their fromula but added somewhat a more osdm aehestetic to theeir sound...Band
fuckin rules m/m/m/
Inculter Fatal Visions3.5
Cool cover. Unpretentious modern thrash with a great old school vibe. Headbanging end to end m/ Recd tracks - Impending Doom; Final Darkness; Fatal Visions
Suldusk Lunar Falls3.0
Wishfield Wishfield4.0
Post rock, Shoegaze and Black Metal - Disclaimer - its not "traditional" Blackgaze, its really a
somewhat radiohead'ish sounding black metal. Super original sound. It's prob hipster stuff, but
I don't mind. The fret-less bass and guitar were a true joy to my hears.
Nightwatchers La Paix Ou Le Sable3.5
NONE Damp Chill of Life4.0
The atmosphere is very well done on this one. Loved the solo on It's painless to let go...depressingly heartbreaking.
Sol Distorsion Sol Distorsion3.5
Well, I liked this pretty much...specially the last two songs. If you want this to be fived, do one of these two things:r- Put Chino on vocals.r- Moar blastbeats.
Periphery Periphery IV: Hail Stan3.0
This album promises so much on those first 3 tracks and then those other tracks clearly trying to reach a broader yet dumber audience. Its a pretty commercial unhearted decision, specially once you see zero effort in songwriting...nothing to say about technical aspects...and the dude has great vocals. Recd track - Reptile
Ceremony Of Silence Oútis4.0
Warning: you may find melody in this chaos. Great bass and drums. Bleak af. Recd track - Ceremony rof a Thousand Stars; Arising Of No Man; Into the Obscure Light
Hellripper Black Arts and Alchemy3.5
Listen to this if you are in for a quickie of riffs. m/
Waste of Space Orchestra Syntheosis4.5
Doomy, RockSpacey, Avant-Garde, Dark, Psychedelic...I really love how "boring" this is. Experimental yet daunting release. Recd Tracks - The Shamanic Vision; Wake up the Possessor; Syntheosis.
Weyes Blood Titanic Rising4.5
I liked this very much! Don't know any of her other work but found this with high compositional rskills...beautiful and tender vocals...somewhat Beatles meeting Portishead meeting MGMT. What a rbeautiful way to start the day. Recd Tracks - Andromeda; Wild Time; Picture me better
Blood Spore Fungal Warfare Upon All Life4.0
This guys have got it all to succeed. 3 amazing tracks with the filthiest vocals m/ Gonna store my 4.5 for the LP - https://bloodspore.bandcamp.com/album/fungal-warfare-upon-all-life
Brutus (BE) Nest3.5
Very good and refreshing stuff! Recd tracks - War; Blind; Horde Vr
Moon Tooth Crux3.0
This looked like a mash up deconstruction of many different "generic" music. Not sure if it sticks but despite this its so technical that it gets pretty cool. Is just me or anyone else wanted stuff like Crux on this?
Whitechapel The Valley4.0
Wasn t expecting to like this. Also pos for the review and the bravery of comparing with RoN, I see the resemblance. Guitars and vocals are so damn thick and gotta love when they take those heavy riffs slowly and kinda doomy. Great use of non cheesy melo vocals.r
Vltimas Something Wicked Marches In3.5
Devin Townsend Empath2.5
Metal and Disney are definitely not compatible, although I think everyone should listen and acknowledge this man's talent at least once in their life. I started today. I know this could never be considered average but here's a 2.5 in amusement and laughter. Recd Track - Hear Me
Billie Eilish When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?2.5
After checking the track six feet under, can't say this wasn't a big disappointment, although I can't say I don't have radio fun with "bad guy" either (guilty). I wasn't expecting a Britney Spears 2.0 at all :/ and what dark? where?
Prostitute Disfigurement Prostitute Disfigurement3.0
thoughtcrimes Tap Night4.0
And the show of tDEP's afilliates continues...great vibes also of glassjaw. Give us the LP already!
Johnny Booth Firsthand Accounts4.5
Hands down to this amazing drumming. Amazing band. Band's in an old school bouncy groovy HXC
vibe, yet full of plenty of new ideas. Fully satisfying release. The ATDIlike appointments are
delicious and gives it the album great dynamics.
Saudade (US) Shadows & Light3.5
Its just cool for now. I wished Chino came out from the background a bit more
Al Goregrind The Temple Is Burning4.0
This is amazing uncommon deathgrind. Apparently inspired by starwars, it has this vicious
background organ delivering a certain depth to their music. Also the notion of melody is
really well explored for the genre, but you know...always in a wicked fucking manner...Recd Tracks
- Burnham Chose Well; All Hail to Vader; Rancor Rampage; The Rule of Two; Darth Nihilius.
Capitao Fausto A Invenção do Dia Claro3.0
Venom Prison Samsara4.0
Portrayal of Guilt Audiotree Live4.0
Misery Index Rituals of Power4.0
Don't know the rest of the discog to compare (will take care of that ASAP) but this slays.
Nostromo (CHE) Narrenschiff4.5
What the fuck just happened here??? Massive jam [2]
Devil Master Satan Spits On Children Of Light3.5
Weezer The Black Album2.5
Well...only not poor because they remain unpretentious and somewhat pop enjoyable...
Mark Morton Anesthetic3.0
Is cool to get a track from Chester in 2019.
Pretty standard metal hardrock songwriting, a
risk LOG runs constantly as well. Great guitar
and a vocal feature on each track makes this
like a gatering of artists having fun. Zero
atmosphere and genre shifting also doesn't
help. Recd tracks - Cross off; Blur; The truth
is dead.
Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard Yn Ol I Annwn3.0
hum cool psych stoner doom with a girl on vox? Pretty much in line with Windhand, but maybe a more psy vibe here.r
Ni Pantophobie4.0
Vimur Triumphant Master of Fates3.5
Candlemass The Door To Doom3.5
Epicus - a 4 album made 5 because it was in 1986. Door to Doom - a 4 album made 3 because its 2019. This album is better than wanted it to be.r
Dream Theater Distance Over Time3.0
This has the same amount of cheese as riffs and tight execution. recd tracks - Room 137; S2N; Pale Blue Dot
The Claypool Lennon Delirium South of Reality3.5
A more psychedelic The Beatles with a genius bass player. A little too goofy...a common flaw in the genre. Still a great listen.
Rotting Christ The Heretics3.5
I like this. All songs have the same riff repeated along each track. It ain't dark enough. The dude talks and preaches more than sings. All tracks are great though! r
Saor Forgotten Paths3.5
Brilliant execution, production and multi instrumental piece of celtic bm. Fave Track - Monadh
Cara Neir Part III / Part IV4.5
4.5 Convergeresque Post Blackened Skramz!!! Late discover of mine for definitely one of the best releases this year. Even the electronic interludes are awesome.
Copeland Blushing3.5
its very well done...goes to much on hiphop and auto-tuning for my tastes at times, but the indie
vibe parts are very inventive. Listened 2 times and def went from a 3 to 3.5. The solo on
Colorless was unexpected.
Wounds (USA-IL) Light Eater4.0
Straight 4 to this inventive and awesome deathgrind&techdeath EP. Great variation of vocals for the genre. The bass is always there. Crazy drumming and tech riffing af. The way songs are structured and the groove avoids this to be over spastic. Recd Track - Metamorphosis (just enjoy while it transforms)
Un and Coltsblood Coltsblood / Un4.0
2 tracks. 42' minutes of music. The brilliance Sludge Doom tempered with DM, giving the perfect
balance and pace. Be patient and, if its your case, get to know these two promising modern doom
bands: Coltsblood (novelty for me), which curious enough has the stronger track here, and Un
(check the album Sentiment asap).
Downfall of Gaia Ethic of Radical Finitude4.0
Ithaca The Language of Injury4.0
Hell yeah! These friends have an exquisite manner to achieve melody plus "This fuckin slaps". As I pay attention to some backvocals and they're gorgeous. A weird Rolo Tomassi beatdown m/ girl on vocals.rrecd Tracks - The Language of Injury; Slow Negative Order; Youth Vs Wisdom.
Astronoid Astronoid2.5
Soen Lotus3.5
I agree this is not as strong as Lykaya, still consistent and pretty emotional this one. All tracks are slick, only setting back for having a standard songwriting on all tracks. Depending on this year releases it may be a grower. Recd Tracks - Opponent; Lotus
Ulfven Folklore3.5
Pretty clean 3.5 but hardly a 4. will get back to it fs though. Nocturnal Watcher was my fave here. TKS Trif
The Last Internationale Soul on Fire3.5
Great altrock. Also really good vocals. Only setback is practically all songs its only one tune
each, only shifting in intensity (White Stripean jam).
Toxik Attack Assassinos em Série3.0
Portuguese OldSchool Thrash Metal band. This has some damn original vocals sang in Portuguese.
Some say its addictive, I personally think its really good speed thrash but with laughing content
regarding old school DM themes. So it speaks about death but in parody joyful way. Recd Track -
Loucos pelo Old School; Seita do Punhal
Nuvolascura Nuvolascura3.0
Convictors Atrocious Perdition3.5
Straight Forward DM band. Great riffing and some great tracks, specially when they vary the mood and speed. The mood is set when the creature from the cover there shouts to you on first track: YOU DISGUST MEEEE. As setback, though brutal, it lacks a bit on atmosphere and depth.rRecd Tracks - Withdrawn; Criteria
Swallow the Sun When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light4.0
dynamic release, with some beautiful moments and varied instrumentation and vocals. All tracks rhave something I like. Depending on the mood it can get a bit dull but looking close everything is rreally well done. Tracks - When a Shadow Is Forced into the rLight; Firelights
Bring Me the Horizon Amo1.0
Mono Nowhere Now Here3.5
Great atmosphere'd crescendo songs. I dug this more than I expected. Great for shopping X) post rock with beautiful horns and violins. T/track is an amazing example of beauty, crescendo, emotion and multi-instrumentation.
SeeYouSpaceCowboy Songs for the Firing Squad3.5
sassgrind...LOL WTF? is a Joke? Heavy growls are heavy AF! 18 minutes of "music" take it
Together to the Stars An Oblivion Above3.5
Great BM towards the light...First 2 tracks don't say much to me but the other 2 are really good. Recd Tracks - Apathy and Sanctuary.
Noctambulist Atmospheres of Desolation3.5
Great debut. Finding a guiding line is extremely difficult though, maybe that's the intention but its preventing me from bump it for now. Sickass cover. Recd tracks - Jubilant Cataclisym
De Staat Bubble Gum4.0
James Blake Assume Form3.5
always cool how this fella does hip-hop, going through DaftPunk's (auto)tunes to late Radiohead's experimentation. I like it. The big loss here is when the production and experimentation goes over the music and it gets a bit random. Recd Tracks - Assume Form; Tell Them; Where's the Catch.
Two People First Body4.0
Rifftera Across The Acheron3.5
Both their albums rule hard m/m/. The melodic vocals balance with the harsh ones pretty well and
original. The melodic parts may get a little too much at times for the genre on a pair of tracks
though. The songwriting is not very surprising, but it really sets the identity of the band after
the debut. Recd Tracks - Eye of the Storm; Cry Wolf
Soilwork Verkligheten4.0
though simple, formulaic, and some hardrock in the mix (several ingredients for me to dislike) there's some cool variation in each track keeping things interesting. Recd Tracks - The Nurturing Glance; When The Universe Spoke
Joshua Burnside Wear Bluebells in Your Hat If You’re Goin’ That Wa3.5

2018
Sulphur Aeon The Scythe of Cosmic Chaos4.5
Really well done and impressive BlackDeath a la Behemoth. Beautiful esoteric vibe and some war&summon anthems VS some kind of misery attached, throughout all album. Immense variety of vocals and great ambiance. Great Replay value as well. Recd Tracks - The Summoning of Nyarlathotep; Sinister Sea Sabbath; The Oneironaut
Cookin Soul Doom Xmas3.0
Jason Becker Triumphant Hearts2.5
FIEND (FR) Seeress3.5
Obliteration Cenotaph Obscure4.0
drumms constantly changing the pace and consequently the genre itself!BM, death, thrash,
punkharcore and doom. The other instruments though, are pretty stiff in tone and mood but
perfectly executed in plain BDM/OSDM but with an own identity. The minor setback is lack of
variability makes you be fully focused on little changes. Fave tracks: T/t and Detestation Rite.
Zapruder Zapruder4.5
As you press play on this keep in mind that you're in for a treat. Its really great how playful
and fun it goes, but the mood starts to turn in the middle (blame the sax as well) in a more
serious introspective way. The sax is indeed delicious and these vocals are just so crazy
versatile&varied that I'm still digesting them. Stoner Lemmy (or Matt Pike lol) going hardcore is
indeed something else, but that's just one tip of the iceberg for this fella called Isaac Ruder.
Great vibes from tDEP, HoF and ETID and I bet many others. This was a treat. They knocked it out
of the park. 4.5 on it and I think it will stick.
Chapel of Disease ...And as We Have Seen the Storm3.5
Great progressive death and roll release with an OSDM feel. Great craftsmanship.rRecd tracks - Void of Words; Oblivious / Obnoxious / Defiant
Wardruna Skald2.5
Failure In The Future Your Body Will Be The Furthest Thing From Your Mind4.5
it actually looks like new music. Futuristic as always, the grunge here is blended with
Radiohead's post and 60's Beatles. A hidden gem for you to get. Recd Tracks - Pennies; No One
Left; Heavy and Blind.
Portrayal of Guilt Let Pain Be Your Guide4.0
The 4 I'm giving to this 3.5 album is because I don't want to forget this band and its amazing potential. The 3 singles (Among Friends, A Burden and Your War) and the closer Until we're dust are indeed groundbreaking as they circle between Noise, Punk, BM and Hardcore (and other you may find) genres in tracks sometimes below 2 minutes. The rest is pretty much the band experimenting their sound in a conceptual "go nowhere" manner, so you can be a little disappointed at the end.
Azusa Heavy Yoke4.5
This is what I call the real tDEP attitude. Genre bending stuff. Here's how you start to enjoy
this album: You put it on, then again and again and again...let it breathe...and then again m/m/m/
rproduction is slick, execution is tight, vocals delicious and the mood is perfect throughout the
album. Ethernel Echo is for a fact a killer track. "This is a 5 gents and ladies, buy the fucking
album" TKSDew
1914 The Blind Leading the Blind3.5
This looks like war actually, in a very literal manner...no allegories, straight fw war. It sounds more modern than the 1st WW though. The track Passchenhell with the violin is pretty sweet...
Muse Simulation Theory2.0
I gave this a 2nd chance...Some tracks are actually listenable in that rpop/commercial concept they're trying to achieve...there's still a bunch of other annoying tracks rhere that makes this a poor work. This late 90's synth revivalism comes in fact a bit late (I ractually dug when QOTSA made it on their last release)...maybe its my issue but sometimes this rlooks like the soundtrack of some dad's 90's VHS futuristic porn.. Weird band nowadays....I don't rsee where they want to go with this...I did loved Muse. Favorite track: Blockades
Cult Leader A Patient Man4.0
I admit that the contrast between the soft tracks and the heavier ones is a bit too much, but I think its only cause the heavy tracks are indeed heavy as fuck me twice. Still prefer their previous release still a really good effort from this pretty unique band. First 3 tracks (Heal ME is one hell of an opener) will smash you completely on heavy part. A Patient Man leads on the calmer tracks as my faves.
Four Stroke Baron Planet Silver Screen4.0
Though I'm not sure if he Cure Vocals actually works, still this sounded refreshing and cool, with some delightful tracks (Planet Silver Screen; A Matter Of Seconds; 7th of July).
Emery Eve2.0
this music is very american christian. good production and well played. There's prob 1/2 cool songs but they've 15... Everything is so normal and average musically, that I can't even finish a 2nd listen.
Vessel Queen of Golden Dogs3.0
Good experimental electronic work but with a classic tone, features and instrumentation.
Ulthar Cosmovore4.5
Crusty punk psychedelic OSDM debut? Fuck yeah! Feel free to rec me things like this.
Recd Tracks - Etropy-Atrophy; Cosmovore; Asymetric Warefare; Dunwich Whore
The Smashing Pumpkins Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 12.5
Good but way too much Corgan centered poprock album and relying too much on the band's classics
URSA Abyss Between the Stars3.5
Good doom/sludge. In middle-ground between Pallbearer and Khemmis. Cool riffs, epic vocals and
also beauty. Not bad for "dragons music". Dragon's Beard and Serengeti Yeti stood out for me.
The Ocean Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic4.5
This is a beautiful piece of art. This time the band went full postmetal on this one and nailed
it. All tracks with astounding progression and ambiance, beautiful melodic vocals and dynamic
tracks. Starts right with Cambrian II: Eternal Recurrence as the first and more memorable
highlight, Devonian: NascentKatatonia feat Katatonia another and the closer track nailing hard.
Noise Trail Immersion Symbology of Shelter4.5
On their second release, this black metalcore outfit, impress even more. This time around they fully embrace the chaotic Deathspell Omeguish sound, as raw as you can get. Deep atmosphere demanding a full listen experience. m/rFave tracks: Mirroring; Repulsion and Escapism II; Symbology of Shelter
Daughters You Won't Get What You Want3.5
I like the songs Satan on the Wait and one or other towards the end (Less Sex, Daughter, The Reason they hate me sequence is specially engaging) when they decide here rand there to be slightly musical. This is like a dark postpunk noise "band" now - they succeeded in that way. cool experimental stuff
Bloodbath The Arrow of Satan Is Drawn4.0
Let me start this way. I'm gonna be a father next year and this cover gives the creeps! Though the risk of falling into blandness is constant, you can go from start to finish and always find awesome deathgroove, cool riffs and crazy flawless solos, all in one single noise doomy mix. The second listen was even better and more distinguishable. Fleishmann, Deader, Only the Dead Survive.
Pijn Loss4.0
Excellent post...kinda Russian Circles meeting Toby Driver's violins with Godspeed's atmo soun
samples. Was able to acknowledge these from their colab with Conjurer. Very good chilling music.
Ciclo Preparatorio Se é para perder que seja de madrugada3.5
Still great, even if better executed (incredible
drumming), not as hitting as the debut
Bong-Ra Antediluvian3.5
Full distorted bass and very pounding drums accompanying Bong-ra's heavy dark electronic
atmosphere, providing an unexpected Doom Post piece. No breakcore here.
Conjunto Corona Santa Rita Lifestyle3.5
Great Portuguese hiphop satire, hailing from Porto...very good beats fs (best in the market I'd
say). Lyrics are honestly and uncomplicated bad, just for fun. Best jam to pass through Corona's
panic season.
Gorod Aethra4.0
Is amazing, and much like A Perfect Absolution, how the proggy&tech stuff on these dudes serves
and is really encrusted on the songwriting. Plus I got a weak spot for the esoteric feeling that
flows throughout some of the tracks. The vocals are great and varied and the midpitch vocals gives
a rare emotion to this genre which I really dig too. Faves: Bekthen's Curse; And The Moon turned
Black and A Light Unseen.
The minor stepback is that sometimes it gets a bit too spastic and the sound is often interrupted
in some of the tracks.
Soulfly Ritual3.5
Soulfly done right! Ritual, Summoning and Demonized are awesome tracks. Nothing new tbh except the
track Feedback! with a oldschool thrash riff and the classic UM DOIS TRÊS QUATRO followed by Not a
fuckin regret! (so not that new ahahah)
Outre-Tombe Nécrovortex3.5
Canadian DeathMetal in french raw but cool vocals. Swedish school of DM. Cool artwork. Very technical and full on HM2. Massive solo work. Don't bring anything much new to the table but it goes hard and tight.rRecd Track - Aberration; Concile Cadavrique
Sam the Kid Mechelas3.0
LP in form of compilation with several artists from hiphop Portuguese scene. The great Sam made
the perfect closure (Sendo assim) making some sense to all previous tracks. It needed more Sam
though...and less social network critique
VOLA Applause of a Distant Crowd3.5
I got all the references (that yap, can be misleading, but they're there). There's also a lot of Ulver's last release vibe in some post aspects as to the general Depeche Mode inspiration. The djent is no issue for me when is cool like this. Easy listen and easy 3.5 for now but I think it will grow. What is preventing me from raising this up is I think this album deserves a vocalist with more personality, but this kind of vocals thrive on northern Europe's post bands (perfectly tuned, scholar, ethereal but also cold and unengaging) - Favorite tracks are T/t and Whaler. r
Polyphia New Levels New Devils3.0
I liked this but I just take it for what it is. Guys having fun with their big talent going rSantana, prog rock and jazzy hiphop. A bit "hicky" overall but good&cool experimental stuff.
Outer Heaven Realms of Eternal Decay4.0
Godamn this rips m/ 2018: Ulthar; Tomb Mold; Genocide Pact...these guys joined late to my party, but I'm here they are m/
Ragana and Thou Let Our Names Be Forgotten3.5
Ragana's part is simple and cool but are the Thou tracks that gives this extra boost from being just good. Those 2 tracks are really something, full on Thou's depth and progression, mixing some melodic vocals simultaneously with the ID growls...genre benders rRecd track - The Fool Who Thought He Was King
Behemoth I Loved You at Your Darkest4.0
Well this dudes new aesthetic, as long with the fuckin cool solos and overall instrumentation
manage to surpass some simplicity and predictability in their songwriting. Really cool release and
easy 4 makes me realize how special The Satanist is and considering the bump. The only step back
is that I miss the heavy guitar distortion on this one. Favorite tracks: Ecclesia Diabolica
Catholica; Bartzabel; Sabbath Mater; We Are the Next 1000 Years
High on Fire Electric Messiah4.5
really good speed up pace stoner. Great songwriting, weather in the shorter fast tracks or in the
more progressive longer ones. Riffs everywhere and cool solos. I found also plenty of originality
on the drums sounding really organic. Loving this and I'm glad I gave this guys a second chance,
once I was not impressed by the previous release. You won't "Sleep" with this one m/m/m/ Faves:
T/T Freebooter...this was awesome, uncompromising and fun to listen!
mewithoutYou [Untitled]3.5
I was kinda of scared this was a brand new hype, but it turned out a pretty interesting release. Indie/Alt rock done right. Some beautiful soundscapes and the overall narrative is really cohesive. Still not sure the screams are necessary. rFave Tracks - Flee, Thou Matadors!; New Wine, New Skins.
Windhand Eternal Return4.0
Well I liked this one a lot...Sweet psy stoner doom. The grunge tone over the psy is very cool. The thick low guitars match really nice with the gal's smooth voice. Nothing surprising overall agreed, but its damn satisfying...rRecd tracks - Halycon; Grey Garden; Feather
Black Peaks All That Divides4.0
Pretty good but def going for a more post vibe here. The album ends up superstrong tho. New fave band to follow here. Recd tracks - Eternal Light; Slow Seas; Fate I & II
Clarence Clarity THINK: PEACE2.0
Bunch of loose ideas...retro vibe instead of actually experimental or new...as if Radiohead were rworking for Justin Timberlake
Buried in a Womb Epigenetic Vulnerabilities...3.5
Buried in a womb - Members - Glasersfeld - Everything. Really fast and outrageous BM with a clear punk vibe to it. Production is a bit too lowfi for me(thought every instruments are completely audible), but as a one man band and independent is pretty impressive stuff and full of cool modern ideas between all the classic BM features. Fave track: The Rush of Childlike Independence and Fateful Lies; Love's Crippled Decay (on both love those lead guitars "bridges"and solos in the middle and end of the tracks)
All Them Witches ATW3.5
Anaal Nathrakh A New Kind of Horror3.5
They're back to the groove. Free porn music, as alternative, heavy, chaotic and aggressive as pop, groovy and catchy. Much better release than the previous one. This band is not be taken much serious in order to have fun with it. Favorite tracks: Forward! and Mother of Satan (Satan!Satan!Satan!Satan!Satan!Satan!Satan!).
Logic Young Sinatra IV3.0
The boy can rap. The boy can sing. The boy is too "good boy" though. He rely too much on the oldschool beat though...awesome Wu Tang track though...YSIV relys too much on life's a bitch Nas track...varied quality work though Fave tracks - WU TANG FOREVER and 100 Miles and running
Horrendous Idol4.5
Though everything is a bit low (to get all things you need to pump up the vol quite a bit) is rreally nice how this band can be from really abusive DM to really prog and melodic (even in some rawesome back-vocals) all at once. The fret-less bass (audible af!) is just everywhere and perfect, rvicious and addictive guitar riffs. Everything on this is really good but, aesthetically speaking, rthe vocals are really setting them apart! Whether melodic or that desperate raw mid-tone scream. rSuch a cool release this one. Faves: Soothsayer, Devotion (Blood for Ink), Obulus.
Un Sentiment4.5
The satisfying predictability of Doom, done with grace and style. Brilliant atmosphere, heavy but it can get you really chill. 2 first tracks are 5's, the other 2 like 4.5's
Hail the Sun Mental Knife3.0
Marrasmieli Marrasmieli3.5
2nd track absolutely slays m/ 1st one not so much...great debut EP!
Toby Driver They Are the Shield4.0
Voivod The Wake4.0
Getting to know this band..this is my first entry and it was really cool proggy thrash. Faves: Inconspiracy;Event Horizon and Sonic Mycelium
Aborted TerrorVision4.5
Thought I was going to a "normal grind band" but this is so far from it in an incredible way. To rgive you an idea of the sound you got the Cannibal Corpse's grind, but also go from Archspire's rtechdeath, to Pig Destroyer's smashing and engagingly memorable riffs, to vocal delivery like rAnaal Nathrakh. They deliver the full package, from the cover (you really feel the cover lol) to rthe concept, to the actual music. Adding to this is the great concept and atmosphere (created on rslower parts and cool intros and interludes). The theme is slightly politic and speaks about the rmedia influence in Humanity in an horror movie setting. Fave tracks are like 5/6 lol but check rT/T, Vespertine Decay and The Final Absolution.
SUMAC Love In Shadow3.0
yeah! fuck yeah....ok...nah...oh cool!...great atmosphere uuuuh...what then? ok lets go...nope...awesome drums...calm down guys, they're experimenting for other bands.rRecd Track - Attis' Blade
Dengue Dengue Dengue Semillero3.5
nice chilling ethnic minimalism. Sweet listen for background.
Conan Existential Void Guardian4.0
don't know the rest of their discog but this slays! I love the vocals on it, and despite is
doom/sludge they provide us some faster tracks and sections with brilliant faster drumming. The
guitarwork is typical sludge/doom with perfect distortion for the genre. No solos nor technical
guitarwork though. It can be a little short for the genre! Fave tracks: Prosper The Path; Volt
Thrower; Vexxagon.
Infernal Coil Within a World Forgotten4.0
Excellent mix of deathgrind (deathspell omeguish) with an esoteric metal vibe...this goes really hard with some awesome breathing moments as well.rRecd Tracks - 49 Suns; Bodies Set in Ashen Death
Emma Ruth Rundle On Dark Horses4.0
Pig Destroyer Head Cage4.0
this is a great PD release (now with bass) full of groove and some longer tracks. Don't trust the
AVG cause its full of ppl suffering from melancholia that already knew their rating before listen
to the album. Enjoy the groove for yourself, always considering this ain't no classic and they are
different from what they used to. Better than BookBurner imo
Fave tracks: Army of Cops; The Torture Fields; Terminal Itch; Last song; House of Snakes
Satan Cruel Magic4.0
I honestly wasn't expecting having this much fun m/ Their kind of "one chord riffing" is
relentless and pretty unique imo (I dont know much of HM) and when they go prog they have a
certain psychedelic flare I really dig. Would like to give 3.7 but goes with 4 for cause 3.5 seems
too low for so much fun. fave tracks here are Cruel Magic, Death Knell for a King and Mortality.
Stoned Jesus Pilgrims3.0
Had the chance to see them live and they don't sound much like the albums...in fact they're way better and put one hell of a show...strangely the vocalist sounds way better live as well.
Yves Tumor Safe in the Hands of Love4.0
Experimental stuff going hip/tripop, noise and latent punk feel. Personal stuff, weird charachter such as the music. There's 3 magical tracks on this - Noid; Licking An Orchid; Life Time.
Alkaline Trio Is This Thing Cursed?2.0
Thou Magus5.0
considering bumping this...The whole thing is massive in cohesiveness but it always keeps a slight variety enough to keep you fully engaged. The more a listen to this...the more into Thou I get m/ Its being hard for me to pick a fave track, kinda divided between Challenging Prince, Sovereign self and Supremacy.
IDLES Joy as an Act of Resistance4.0
Post punk band (though they don t see as such). Approach the new wave issues such as feminism, male vulnerability, lgbt etc. in a really funny way. Fave tracks: love song, june, samaritans and television.r
KEN mode Loved4.0
Sick would be the term for this. Sick cover, sick atmosphere, sick guitars, sick drums...and even sicker sax. The mood is stiff though and relies on repetition and in intensity crescendos. Really original and experimental stuff. Fave Tracks - This is a Love Test; No gentle art
Relations (GER) From Birth to Death4.0
Hardcore with a very metallic approach. Punchy, groovy, with some dm, thrash and even doomesque
vibes, weather in slow riff or actually synth, (yap, Check Hangman f.e.),specially in the end of
the songs giving them great hooks and climax. Very balanced with the perfect length and variation
for the genre.
Interpol Marauder3.0
Alice in Chains Rainier Fog3.5
this is solid. Just love those slow sludgy riffs like on So Far Under f.e.
King Dude Music To Make War To3.5
enjoyed this dark goth vibe. another great release/ debut
It It Anita Laurent3.5
punk/ postpunk release from a Belgium band that looks really comfortable on that grey area between punk/ hardcore vibe and some post, doomy aspects. The last ones, much more noticeable on the second part of the album and that can divide you or make it more "interesting". The first part is full of bangers though! Fave Tracks: User Guide; 11; Say No; GOD
Manes Slow Motion Death Sequence3.5
Leeched You Took The Sun When You Left3.5
They use the beatdown in the meanest way possible. Good ambiance created with electronics (code orangeresque) also helping some unpredictability in the songwriting. Really enjoyable but not lasting - cons some songs are just too slow or mid paced...this kind of brutality sometimes asks for more speed. Its heavy, mean but a bit one sided in mood. Fave tracks: Raised by Lead and Harrow the Pastures
Convulsing Grievous4.0
DO and Ulcerate type of BDM really amazing and dynamic for the genre. Impressive sense of melody here and there (again for the genre). Fave tracks - Were; Strewn/Adrift
Mitski Be the Cowboy3.0
there's some kind of originality here but sometimes it feels like Nobody is the only actual "song".
Demonauta Temaukel, the Spirit Before Time4.0
Chain Cult Isolated3.5
Chain Cult is pure punk cult shit X) the songwriting is very good.
Coarse I4.0
Heavy, Fast, Noisy, Glitchy, Experimental, Trendy. It looks the new hardcore has come to stay . "Punk beats, blast beats, breakdowns, things that don't even make sense"
Frontierer Unloved3.0
Thou Rhea Sylvia4.5
Jungle Rot Jungle Rot3.5
Skeletonwitch Devouring Radiant Light4.0
Disguised as classic Blackened Thrash, this goes beyond that. Always giving this melodic and epic/ folk sentiment to the songs, but at the same time showing us somewhat of a punk/ hardcore attitude to the riffs. Oldschool and modern meet again.
Parius The Eldritch Realm3.5
The bass is boss here and its brilliant! Great melodeath fitting the Halloween season. Everything comes in as a bit of a joke but its kinda intended that way. There's not much depth and 30 minutes flew by but the production,technicality and execution are brilliant though.
Obscura Diluvium3.5
Between the Buried and Me Automata II4.0
Deafheaven Ordinary Corrupt Human Love3.0
Kingnomad The Great Nothing3.5
Birds in Row We Already Lost The World3.5
I really liked this and hopefully some tracks here are truly growers.
Imperial Triumphant Vile Luxury4.5
Straight 4.5 for the most scary, intriguing and brilliant musical experiences I had this year. Deathspell "Omeguish" sound with lots brilliant jazz inputs. Fave Track: Chernobyl Blues. though this is to be listened in full.
Converge Beautiful Ruin4.0
Night Verses From the Gallery of Sleep3.5
This is good. Maynard would fit this perfectly, but you almost don't miss the vocals on it. A lot rof APC or tool vibes, but also Deftones for sure...but everything more tchnical. Its really rstrange and I'm surprised by an instrumental record.rEDIT: Fuck that 3.5, I must go to a 4! no wait I'm going back to 3.5 because I'm disappointed with their background and previous releases
Gorillaz The Now Now3.5
The Antichrist Imperium Volume II Every Tongue Shall Praise Satan4.0
Terra Sapiens The presence of a ghost3.5
This last EP for sure shows them getting towards a darker sound which is really interesting. They
should bet in a big long drone LP with this dark sound. The occasional growls are very welcome!
Marduk Viktoria3.5

Khemmis Desolation4.0

Gaerea Unsettling Whispers4.0

awesome for a debut, great production and the drums do stand out. Fave Track: Absent.

good guitar solos as well). At the same time the "audible bass" makes the whole thing a little
less heavier than it should at times. Also not a big fan of this type of vocals - but that's just
me...this is good techdeath prog but with good songwriting preventing it from being just
"wanking"...I really hope to get back to it X)

Rivers of Nihil Where Owls Know My Name4.5
Who says DeathMetal can't be relaxing? Classy and smooth release from Rivers of Nihil, going really "proggy sax&pink floydish" at times on this one. If you check their t/T videoclip you see them ironically dressed up as 70's psychedelic hipsters, which gave me a cool twist of "funny fellas".rRecd Tracks - The Silent Life; A Home

Rolo Tomassi Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It4.5
this album is really good...gonna bump it again...some times the hype and little girl's vocal annoys me...but then I give the album space to breathe and I come back to it and feel like 4.5 to 5 it. This quality really sticks...how gentle and soft it starts, then it gets really darker and heavier...then the jazz and piano features just give them that uniqueness and identity. Adding to that is the way everything flows because everything is brilliantly connected.

much the real deal here...great journey of an album! Very retro, but where I listened to early
Genesis/ Jethro I now see me passing through The Doors, Dire Straits, some folk, some of the
HardRock epicness I normally despise and in here I love, and yeah some modern music as well.
Vocalist has a lot of character and requires habit, he's a young dude with a voice of an older

This is great if you like Extol. I've heard Fleshkiller before (without knowing they were ex extol) its a little more boring. Not as mind-challenging, still great sound...but a little bland comparing to Extol. Also some riffs here and there looks some Extol ripp off, but well if anyone is entitled to rip off Extol are them.

Usnea Portals Into Futility4.0
Although the sound does not feel as crushing/ big on a first glance, as some other acts of the
genre, mind, is a very very tight job, extremely dynamic in songwriting and vocals (melodic to the
screech to the lowest growl possible). All tracks end up being beasts of their own, special
advertise for the riffs on the 20 minutes closer- awesome way to end this album - Who would've
thought this album had space for a rocker, coherently?

this one is better than the previous one imo...should be better ranked...pretty rad crossover of trash and hardcore...cool high pitch vocals, complemented with kind of Metallica's melodic vocals, and sometimes supported with some grindy cool low pitch growls

Dvne Asheran4.5
I would say it has some progressive and sludge metal too...amazing album! I would say this is a kind of early's crack the Skye Mastodon with sludgy Neurosis. Gotta keep an eye on these guys. Thank you users from sputnik for putting this in some of your 2017 lists.
Rings of Saturn Ultu Ulla2.0
Temple of Void Lords Of Death4.0
The band is an hidden gem yall should dig. Promising band in the Death Metal scene. Maybe this
album as a whole is not as strong as the debut, but they sure did a better effort on creating this
dissonant atmosphere very "Hooded Menace like". This album has 3 definite highlights - Wretched
Banquet, A Watery Internment's ending and the use of old school Doom Melodic Singing
(Candlemasslike) in such an heavy piece like Graven Desires is
truly epic.
Afterbirth The Time Traveler's Dilemma4.5
Unique gritty sounding DM with postrock/hxc sensibilities...cool modern vibe while remaining faithfull to dm roots...this is my type of sound because its bold and challenges musical boundaries in the purest of forms.

Mindkult Lucifer's Dream3.5
Well being the first one to rate this, if your into the new sludge metal scene this is a pretty
cool release. so, as usual, vocals aren't great, but with a little prog rock tool feel and also
some stoner rock riffs.

Recommended track - Nightmares.
Integrity Howling, For the Nightmare Shall Consume4.0
This album is an awesome crossover. Hardcore, Trash and some nice dark aspects, sludgy and doomy
to.
Good production. The vocals and the songwriting are excellent. Clearly deserves to be reviewed,

top 20 2017 metal records candidate.

Dzo-nga The Sachem's Tales3.5
I'm pretty new to the low-fi BM concept but this album is a pretty nice experience...its really cool. Is the ambiance (raining, then birds and trees) anything to do with the seasons? Though a rbit too classic or folksy for me it sure looks like a careful and tasteful work. The Witching Meadow's piano performance is sublime. TKS Sevengil.

The Ominous Circle Appalling Ascension4.5
Great Portuguese band (From members from Holocausto Canibal, Colosso, Dementia 13). Sometimes it
may look too simplistic, but amazing drumworks with vicious guitar solos and malicious growls are
really impressive. Poison Fumes is the shit m/...
Edit - This grew a lot on second listen. This is kind of special stuff in the Portuguese scene
imo. Besides Poison Fumes being the obvious "single"...those last 3 tracks are enthralling as hell
once you're already into the "trance" the album can provide. Dive in this. The vibe is amazingly
evil.

Anciients Voice of the Void3.5
Pure modern, very technical, progressive metal. Everything is clean and shiny with great amount of
heaviness. The versatility on the vocals (whether with "no cheese" melodic, or different high and
low pitch growls) is amazing. Stylistically they also go all-round death, melodeath, prog, bm you
name it...The only setback on this the is the casual excess of "wanking" without exactly being
"outside of the box" (genre issue), but they sure grab you whenever you start thinking that. Fave:
Pentacle (brutal "toolesque" track)
Darkthrone Arctic Thunder3.5
definitely not focused on speed anymore but rather on some doomy aspects. Also nice hard rock
riffs and punk drumming. Nothing is overwhelming in any aspect (technique or brutality) but still
a nice release. Recd Tracks - Tundra Leach; Boreal Fiends; Deep Lake Trespasses
Cara Neir Perpetual Despair Is the Human Condition4.0

Red Fang Only Ghosts3.5
Candiria While They Were Sleeping3.0
cool album...they could be a little less "palm muted" and a little more "open chorded" in order to provide an heavier feeling...also the distortion of the guitars are really shy...that's why this is not as 3.5 for me

Conjurer (UK) I4.0

Inter Arma Paradise Gallows5.0
Paradise Gallows album has this Neurosis, early Mastodon vibe, plus a Doors followed by a Pink Floyd ode. Not to mention how heavy and filthy 'An Archer in the Emptiness' and 'Transfiguration' are. 'Violent Constellations' have a vicious solo at the end...its really my cup of tea. Doomy, Heavy, Thick, Filthy, Psychedelic - a fucking shipwreck. They perfected their album formula to this point.

The only thing I could point out on COL is the harsh vocals all the time...that ain't no issue here. Climaxes are built perfectly. All tracks are pretty damn perfect.

A lesson how to be multigenre and versatile without losing your soul.

All these sounds are blended flawlessly and with true own identity.

This is without a doubt a very talented band.This one may even have a bit more craftsmanship and
speed than the new release, but not as successful in transitioning brutality and ugliness into
beauty tho. The Nihilist, Acolytes, The Sum of all failures and the closer are my faves on this
one. Both flow really nice but this is just a bit more tiring imo Idol felt to me as a bit less
thrashy and a bit more modern and unique.

Anaal Nathrakh Desideratum3.5
This is good Anaal Nathrakh but playing quite "safe" witch makes the all thing not much varied.
Desideratum, Sub Specie and Rage and Red great tracks. 2nd part of the album appealed to me much
more.
Nero di Marte Derivae4.0
Definitely a step towards their more experimental outfit.
Horrendous Ecdysis4.0
This album starts simply beautiful and awesome. The leading pinkfloydish melting solos are just so rcool! I'm getting more of the general vibe I got on Idol which I'm fuckin lovin, only with a more rsludgy or doomy tone and distortion on the guitar riffs.

Slipknot .5: The Gray Chapter3.0
Inter Arma The Cavern4.5
Revocation Deathless4.0
The complaint I have on this is the immense amount of riffs making me not reminding a single one m/m/m/! Loving the the production here as well...its been a time since I've listened to a metal album where I didn't have to put vol practically up to max...this manages to be pretty loud and sweet way below.
Septa Destroyer3.0
Added Glassjaw tag cause is pretty obvious. Too far from Tdep for the listener, but I get it cause of "Patton's stuff". Again for the listener is sometimes more Converge and Botch than actually Deftones (but maybe in the slower sexier parts). Good interesting job
Weezer Everything Will Be Alright in the End3.5
Godflesh A World Lit Only by Fire4.0
Flying Lotus You're Dead!3.5
I dig it more than the latest, but again it has this sketchy nature, attached to the experimentation, that doesn't help me to pass the fact of being music for musicians and samplers. Whenever you start to get in some tune, the song ends or changes abruptly, therefore I find hard to get the relevance of it, other than that. The vibes and texture work are often amazing.

This has a very atmospheric prog approach...everything is pretty much unmemorable and washed out in songwriting (specially on first half), still the called atmosphere is very well achieved and it has some sweet passages. Tracks like Odem and Luciform gives some shape on a songwriting level - unlike others, that are complete draggers - 3.2.

Behemoth The Satanist4.5
The Mire Glass Cathedrals4.5
A great hidden gem here TKS to Shuyin. Beautiful balance between melodic and screaming. Personally this touches some Poison The Well and Deftones buttons with a PostMetal vibe (CoL and The Ocean). These guys pull it off perfectly without becoming cheesy or too emo. Creative work, though towards the end the lack of complexity in guitar work, may not much being added. The drumming is by far the best performance here. A really stand out. False Idols, Triple Gemini and Dark Sun are my faves.

The bass on this or something is whipping me the sound of a Jew's Harp instrument lots of times....a "boingboing" just like it lmao...but if you don't focus on it its a really enthralling OSDM doom experience. Really solid Band. On second listen I didn't focused on that that much and its in fact really hell of an album.
All Them Witches Lightning at the Door4.0
The band tuned on versatility and dynamic songwriting, upgrading what they did on the debut (which is very solid as well). Digging this bluesy vibe. A very atmospheric piece.
Cara Neir Portals to a Better, Dead World4.5
damn awesome album...a little less sophisticated than their last one, but still relentless and diverse from screamo, to hxc, to BM, to post as in this to final tracks...amazing and unique band. Pretty much what I look for in music.

Such a dark feel but beautiful chord progressions. Unique brand of black and death, sprinkled with prog and gazey soundscapes all around. 4.5 material. It's almost as if you can listen each band member's influences. It could be a mess, but when it's nailed like this its just awesome, ending up building something unique imo.
Alter Bridge Fortress3.5
Baleia Quebra Azul4.0
Brazilian music has so many good things, that I'm a bit torn between a 3.5 a 4. The listen is very enjoyable , although its indie nature it offers some welcome variety on vocals (fem and male) and compositions that overcomes a somewhat washed psych vibe. There's many "hipster" Brazilian bands embracing this psychedelic sound, based on the classics (Caetano Veloso, Jobim etc etc ect).

I love these guys and how they mix all these and keep the narrative damn consistent...who would've thought!?....I wonder if this reached Roger Waters somehow lolol

Tribulation The Formulas of Death4.5
1st step on transforming their sound, the mixing of psychedelic with a somewhat osdm and bm vibe
is just top notch. They've completely excelled this time and went right up my alley. One thing I'm
over enjoying in here (call me what you want lol) is the more proggy side dm/osdm, reminding bands
such as Morbus Chron f.e. This is Tribulation's prime effort for me atm. Recd Tracks - Suspiria;

I decided to 5 this until there's another full on funeral doom album capable of dethroning this bad boy right here! Feel free to rec! Make sure it doesn't put me to sleep and it digs has deep in the grave the way every single track does here. This band's melodic vocals are incredibly original for this genre. Tip of Top Bell Witch album for me.
Dragged Into Sunlight WidowMaker4.0
Not that I'm to say this is underrated...I get the complaints, but I happen to really dig this one. "I" is a very acoustic sludge piece Thou(like) at times. "II" pulls you back on the so known riff fest and progressions from bands like Cobalt f.e. III offers a doom vibe, banging and punishing towards the end. It really sets how versatile the band can reach in its own ID.

okay, this demo goes super hard, and for a demo is very well produced. A lot of interesting cool riff progressions and vibes from bm to dm to doom. Vocals are on point. Its a pity they haven't released anything more (yet?), so they could work in finding a little more depth to their songs. Fave track for me here is Hell Blast.

OMFG as if Cult Leader or Gaza meets Ulcerate. Avangardish tech DM full of punk and sludge reminiscences. A real must check for lovers of extreme metal. Too bad this is one album and nothing more. Recd tracks - by which we're cemented; momentary senses; fossil Record; as if bathed in excellence.

average on my taste.
Pulling Teeth Funerary5.0
Apocalyptic piece of HXC-Thrash crossover, going further exploring metalcore and continuing the doom they found in the previous album. This "goodbye album" is full of features and its clearly divided in two parts - the first clearly thrash-HC-metalcore and the second more doomy and introspective. The apocalyptic and psych vibes are all around the album as well. I have to mention the dude's vocal originality and filthiness too. Its brilliant, its a bummer they ended and more people should check Pulling Teeth! Hey old maaaaaaaaaaahhhhn....Are you better off naaaaaaaaaaaoooooow?

Amazing and emotional vocal exercise, combined with exceptional use of auto-tune for artistic rpurposes. The use of silences is really good. Great at experimenting with glitchy electronic textures.

Is short (27 minutes) so its a pretty intense experience which feels longer than its actual length...because of the abuse of repetition and the tracks progress only slightly and only in terms of intensity too often. Good stuff but does little for me.
High on Fire Snakes for the Divine4.0
I don't think this is bland at all. Sure I get your production issues, less sludgier less
"Sleepier" vibe, but this has bad ass riffs as hell. I kinda enjoyed this more than Luminiferous
f.e. If this is officially their worst work is just fine by me X) whata band m/ Fave Tracks:
Bastard Samura; Ghost Neck; Fire Flood and Plague
Nails Unsilent Death4.0
Nails - the shorter the better X) this album is dope. I'd say its the most hc centered from the tree so far. watta run this one 14 minutes and I get super thrilled on the last 4 songs m/

Motorpsycho Heavy Metal Fruit4.0
I didn't feel much Heavy Metal, which can be a nice thing actually. This has a singular take on psy stoner in my opinion. Definitely a good entry on this massive band.

Bong-Ra The Goat of Mendes4.0
"The Goat of Mendes was a short lived project combining live guitars mixed with (industrial) dubstep. Before the wobbles arrived period, so to say. Live guitars mixed with Death Metal / Industrial (Carcass, Pitch Shifter, Godflesh) and Dubstep (Scorn, Broken Note, King Cannibal, etc). This particualr liveset was recorded at a PRSPCT event back in december 2008." Taken from bandcamp - https://bong-ra.bandcamp.com/album/the-goat-of-mendes

Obliteration Nekropsalms4.5
Wow this one is a massive jam m/ maybe simpler songwriting (doom first and OSDM/thrash then and then again) but my fave from Obliteration m/m/ all sweet deathdoom bangers. The drums are impressive, and the bass as some crazy cool effects. considering the 5 bump.

DiTC is what I'm talking about. The groove filled with those whipping riffs hit my weak spot. The
vocal delivery on that one is amazing too. The drum and guitar song interludes are intense and
fitting to the whole song and just give the enough prog vibe I also enjoy on these guys.

I have soft spot for Words, rbut starting to rather some tunes from this one and even Renaissance. Now you know this is pure rblasphemy. Band is sput underloved, but its a damn classic one.r
Obliteration Perpetual Decay4.5
You're in this for a really grindy OSDM riff fest with shredding solos. You get the real Death and thrash vibes here. Practically no doom. Awesome and relentless debut. Production is really great and the vocals are mainly low growls but really punchy and interpretative. I put like on every track lol

Aborted embracing (melo)death this time and mixing with their brutal drumming style. Just an album to show they are capable of pretty much anything they want...if they want.
Hypno5e Des Deux l'une Est l'autre3.5
weeeeeird but there's something really cool here lol atmospheric nu-metalcore? Great Album....don't like the french accent when they go melodic in English...and the album is too damn long ...also is a pretty easy escape from the dudes to put a voice sample along the tracks to get that atmospheric/ apocalyptic vibe...but...they are very good, specially the guitars and its new enthralling metalcore.

only needed the first 4 tracks to think this one may be their best effort imo...the production r(which I hate to talk about lol) is way better than the sophomore, that looks like a small rrehearsal room don't quite know why. Also is seeming to me way darker and deeper even than their rlast one. Needless to say this little electronic appointments are gold for me. Strong Deftones rvibe on Hospital Fat Bags. Realy great release.

impressive drum work, more impressive guitar work and jazzy outputs makes this by far their most
interesting and cool release...In fact all instruments and features do stand out. Cool adding of
the new type of vocals, definitely leaving the convergeresque genre in the previous making it more
original and creating their own identity. This one gives me great Calculating Infinity vibes on

Its really a bummer the bad production of CD2. Those tracks would kick even more ass...disagree on
calling CD1 mainstream though. Its very well produced, and yeah more rock than doomy fuzzy, maybe
that's why the impression. Recd Tracks - Teaser; Man; Target.
Richard Cheese The Sunny Side of the Moon3.5
Arctic Monkeys Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not4.5
Anti The Insignificance of Life3.5
A very interesting approach, simple sad tremolo riffs setting the mood...somewhat of the same
electronic beat along the album gives it a very unique flow. I pretty much like everything but
hoped for a little more variation, as the cool intros of the songs would induce so, all tracks
ending in fade out can become very un-engaging at a certain point. That said the slow track Zero
Point f.e. is very blissful (too bad even with the fade out, seems cut) followed by the relentless
Mourning Soul makes a def highlight. Bonus tracks on re-issue are about as good if not better.
rate is for the reissued version.
Bleeding Through The Truth4.0
The Strokes First Impressions of Earth3.5
This could be prob my fave from The Strokes..The band maintains its identity and leaps onto other shores from loads of contemporary fave bands of mine (Muse, QOTSA, Interpol, Radiohead etc...). First 4 tracks are awesome, Vision of Division and kinda dig Electricityscape. The album meanders and have some tracks that are major step-backs. I know the line is thin but some times not only Casablancas but the whole band seems to be drunk. Still rate 3.5 cause it has some of their darkest tracks.

Akercocke Words That Go Unspoken...5.0
Coolest solo on Seduced at 1.20'. Shelter from the Sand's beautiful outro. Eyes of the Dawn - prob on their top 3 bangers, with a rocking intro and another simple yet beautiful continuing outro. T/track starts weird with off setting melodics, but then you have this cool synth right before the cool 80's melodic guitars and riffs at the second part of the song - which is somewhat connected rto the next track, that almost reminds a Metallica song (when they were cool,if you ever thought they were X)). Next tracks, brings the riffs, and specially Penance that matches them with these crazy melodic interludes and solos, it became one fave of mine. It's really a mean one m/m/m/.

Aborted The Archaic Abattoir4.0
This time they inserted these "southern rock" riffs and vibe, injecting a lot of Pig Destroyer's

I made one of those pirate copies myself back in the days (printed cover and all) mix of nostalgia and realizing the quality is still there. This album is high quality to the genre, contesting with Slipknot, Korn, Mudvayne and others more successful. TKS xxm

A bit more polished version of EHG with more emphasis in some cool southern rock riffing, inspiring a bit more of party mode on some tracks. Great Bass, a bit less sludgedoom than previous masterpiece. Still the best "vocal performance" t'ill then and offering plenty of riffing and m/m/ af and I like 0.001%.

This album, in a very unique way, throws in a lot of features from many of my fave bands...seminal as fuck...doomriffing like Sabbath, FilthySludge as Eyehategod, ragey as hardcore should, grunge, nihilistic etc...even more impressive its how classy they throw Death(like) DM on here with audible fret-less bass. Plus the fact you can see bands like SOAD or Slipknot (among many) followed so many of their tunes (and prob their identities) developed here, makes it really intriguing why they have not succeeded. The bassist's death, prob shitty label, and barely legal lyrics perhaps...lost gem, classic. Fave Track - Jezebel.

this is good stuff but didn't made much for me, sometimes too "proggy grunge" and I'm not sure if it fits. Some parts of the music itself I found just ugly...that said, there is much talent and many cool parts and ideas all-round. fave here - Le Pont Noir.

Years and years listening to this at home without realizing how carefully this was made. Not only
the poetry, but the attention to instrumentation and Portuguese true folk research is also
something to acknowledge. This is also mixed and written with a great sense of modernism and
avant-garde music. Conceptually. "Por Este Rio Acima" tells the story of the Portuguese explorer,
Fernão Mendes Pinto's travelings, during Sea Discoveries era, told in the book Peregrinação. A
Portuguese masterpiece.

Although I love the previous one, I sure can tell it's really sludgy rough...this one has the perfect mix, balance and vibe. It's prog nature fits really nice on this fuzzy doom, in a very personal and unique way.
Genesis Selling England by the Pound4.0
One of those albums that conquer you as you go through it. Brilliant - yap Firth of Fifth bangs, The Cinema Show is a 70's prog master piece.

French avant garde experimental prog rock...as wacky as it gets. The language is invented X)
Procol Harum Grand Hotel3.5
Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon5.0
King Crimson Larks' Tongues in Aspic4.0

Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick3.5

1971
King Crimson Islands4.0
Even though a bit on improvisation mode at times (KC signature), its often brilliant and disturbing/ dark in the best way possible (something I adore on Red f.e.). I love how Sabbath meets Beatles on Ladies on the Road. My 2nd fave KC from the first 4. Underrated album!

Second of two amazing masterpieces...from a 12 string (2X6) Portuguese guitar genius...from fado

Deep Purple Deep Purple In Rock5.0
King Crimson In the Wake of Poseidon3.0
This album do not sit well with me and I don't quite know why...but it feels like debut's
unfinished leftovers with some weak hippie vibes. They're never worst than good though.
Black Sabbath Black Sabbath4.5
Quarteto 1111 Quarteto 11114.5
Os Mutantes A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado4.5
although a little goofy here in there, as you get into this dark satire album, you get these guys were a big step ahead of their time.
Antonio Carlos Jobim Stone Flower4.5
This dude's work is the main cornerstone on Brazilian modern music. So does, and mainly this
album, which is a very jazzy take (no wonder Sinatra got around it). His legacy is even bigger
than this though. Grande Tom.

1969
Pink Floyd Ummagumma3.5
King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King4.5
This is cool. Ahead of its time. Although too slow at times it sure is groundbreaking and still feels sorta fresh.

1959
The Dave Brubeck Quartet Time Out4.5
Charles Mingus Mingus Ah Um4.5
"You checked out Ah Um, right?" I did now...It's brilliant (specially on 2nd spin) tks a lot! Among some well known (familiar) tunes I think Fables Of Faubus match my style and perfectly translates what I dig about Mingus...such a challenging composition and influences way beyond jazz itself!
Miles Davis Kind of Blue4.0
