Sakis Tolis Among the Fires of Hell	3.5
Sounds like Rotting Christ, feels like RC but it isn't RC. These tracks could easily have been on any RC album. I thought Sakis would try something new here but this is just playing safe. I am listening to this not as a Sakis album but as a prelude to the next RC album.

Coming from Pakistan, this band and album are a feat! This is on par, in fact better than most progressive/djent bands. Phantom is simply outstanding and one of the best things I have heard this year.

Witherscape The Northern Sanctuary	4.0
Kayo Dot Plastic House on Base of Sky	4.0
With this album, Toby appears to be in cohort with trans-dimensional beings from a place where the synth fused past is still alive or perhaps transcending in a strange amalgamation with the future.

Tanya's voice and the instruments are a perfect marriage in this one. This album has moments that can give you goosebumps!
Spheron A Clockwork Universe	4.0
'Tight' is the right word to describe this band and album! Guitar work is excellent. http://spheron.bandcamp.com/album/a-clockwork-universe

Incredible but I wish there were more tracks on this one.

Solution .45 Nightmares In The Waking State Pt. 1	3.0
Puscifer Money Shot	3.5
Soijl Endless Elysian Fields	4.0
My Dying Bride Feel the Misery	4.0
A solemn nod to the yester works yet serenading enough to calm new sorrows. Excellent addition to the art that is MDB.
Tigran Hamasyan Luys i Luso	5.0
Ahab The Boats of the Glen Carrig	4.0
Rotting Christ Lucifer Over Athens	4.0
Dreadnought Bridging Realms	4.0
An excellent album, channeling various heavy and other fantastic moments of avant-garde. The songs are long but not a single boring moment on them.

Unleashed Dawn of the Nine	3.0
Lustre (SWE) Blossom	4.0
Native Construct Quiet World	4.0

Groovy enough to repeat the album. However, apart from a song or two, not all are memorable.

Sufjan Stevens Carrie and Lowell	4.5
Enslaved In Times	3.5
Blind Guardian Beyond the Red Mirror	3.5
Tigran Hamasyan Mockroot	4.0
Aetherian Tales of Our Times	3.5
Parts of this give a nod to Insomnium or Be'lakor but it also holds off on its own very well. Tales of our times is a great track.
Exgenesis Aphotic Veil	3.5
Subterranean Masquerade The Great Bazaar	3.0
Sounds like an album by Arjen Lucassen. Paul's voice stands out but the rest doesn't deliver much of an impact.

An Abstract Illusion Atonement Is Nigh	4.0
Excellent progressive death metal in the vein of Ne Obliviscaris, Insomnium and a few others. The first track, albeit 16+ minutes long, doesn't get boring at any point. I sense a lot of potential in their forthcoming album. https://anabstractillusion.bandcamp.com/

This is an excellent album. Sounds a bit like viking metal at times but keeps things interesting through out and can be considered as a more accessible version of Rotting Christ.
