Mental Cruelty Zwielicht | 4.0 |
Alpha Chrome Yayo Hidden Earth | 3.5 |
Combines vaporwave, chillwave, new age and SNES OSTs to create something that sounds like the soundtrack to a forgotten psychedelic Apple exclusive point and click adventure game from the nineties. |
Deathstars Everything Destroys You | 2.5 |
For a band that has previously lived or died on the strength of their chorus hooks, the Scandi-Goth rockers really dropped the ball here. If you really need to listen to Deathstars in 2023, you're better off with Night Electric Night. |

Didn't know much about these guys before seeing them at UK Tech Fest this year, absolutely stellar show and this album is amazing. Definitely a highlight of the modern metal calendar for 2022. |

I know it's a retread of things done 15 years ago, but it's so incredibly good at doing it - can't help but love it. |

Interesting mix of metallic hardcore, southern styled metalcore and Alt Rock from Scandinavia ? an interesting combination if nothing else. Probably deserves some more ears on it. |

It's alright. The Darkened Gospel single was excellent, this album doesn't have anything as good as that, but I enjoyed it.
Will probably give another couple of spins. Good quality, albeit a bit generic, deathcore. |

I enjoy the hell out of this. It's not much like their earlier Deathcore material, but taking the plunge and going full Groove
Metal has definitely benefited what was otherwise a band struggling to write a single memorable song. |

Harbinger [UK] Compelled to Suffer | 3.5 |
Huge step up from the EP. Compelled to suffer is a very fun modern death metal album. Throw in a bit of hardcore
influence in there and you've got a thoroughly enjoyable, if a little shallow, listen.
Harbinger are a band to watch going forward should they take another step forward on their sophomore effort. |
