| Insert Bill Hicks joke about "sucking Satan's c**k while producing bad albums". One of the few artists that makes me wish to put a gaping hole in my head before a song even finishes. Deserves the .5 but I'm not part of the elite. The real question is why is this a 2.fucking.6 on this site with 342 votes when half of us will nitpick every other opinion under the sun on this earth, down to the hairspray this 'artist' shoots straight up into his nostrils. It's 2024 and they still play this vomiting laxative on the radio every other day and by the looks of it half of you will still tap your toes to it. An apt description for the regression in the rest of society as it is. Hey if anyone reads this, HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE DAY -- smiley-face evil grin emoji -- you're probably at work right now SINCE YOU CAAN'T GO HOME - it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright. I'm writing this soundoff AND I AIN'T- LOOKING BACK. I'VE BEEN THERE- I'VE DONE THAT- SOMEONE:BEAT:ME - WITH A BAT - PUT ME OUT -of my misery- WHILE I SING TO THIS TRACK, since you CAN'T GO HOOOOOOOOOOOME it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's aLRIGH--- ***loud shot bursts into existence then echoes into an unending deafening silence** |

| Korn The Other Side, Part 1 | 3.5 |
| Rated mainly for the non-album song, as it is with these sorts of things. "Eaten Up Inside" is a great bonus track and nice addition to the material from this era. S'See You On the Other Side's was sort of a(nother) redefining period for the band, for better or worse, but I'm more partial to it than most and it's still the latest album by the band I'll end up returning to the most compared to anything that has come later, though I have not heard passed 'Serenity'. The track in conversation however, goes well after following "Christmas Song" with such well-guessed lyrics as "I never got what I wanted, never got what I needed..." Fits as a good bookend to the band- the Twisted Transistor stuff is just extra. |

| I get that there's prob not much on this disc for anybody to like. Little to no variation in most everything, opting for typical blasted out tunes with the snare being one of three speeds, most every song is indistinguishable from another.. no body to the vocals and little instrumental work in between... typically is close to what constitutes a three for me as these records are made with nonstop intensity in mind, but I'm feeling a little more gracious this morning to give it a bump up, though this isn't resemblant of anyone's average 3.5 record, so chances are that it'll be like and rated less by many/most. |

| 'Passage to Eternity ' and the subsequent title track is the standout for this album. The title track itself could be considered one of the great dm songs of the year, but aside from 'Inverted Ascension's and 'Enveloped in Thorns' I thought the rest of the cuts were a little more of the standard fare. |

Could bump up to a 4.5 depending on what else this year matches the intensity. |

| This was wavering between a 3.5 and a 4 for me, as the opener was strong but the next few songs, while not distinctively having anything wrong with them, seem a little more generically clumped together often feeling a little longer than they should. It wasn't until Holy Parasites where I began liking every song a lot better and the songwriting started to fit more cohesively together, partly because the tracks are shorter. But was it enough? It wasn't until the near closer that the band offered what we deathmetal heads have come to crave, an actual complete excavated experience. And possibly one of the few instances in death metal, where the final track does represent something akin from rising out of the grave- the soul seemingly being born, or reborn, one last time. Instrumentally, this already has an 'Opprobrium - Beyond the Unknown' styled representation with a little less on the thrash but still with the lumbering, almost sluggish groove oftentimes with the riffs to which that album has come to been known for. Maybe a little Sinister. It's perhaps not the most inventive on the formula, but the 4 is still easy here for me for the overall composition, and the track 'Field of Screams' definitely should be heard (whether in the context of the latter half of the album or as an individual track); especially when the early 2000 era is considered a low peak for dm. If you can still appreciate the tracks up until the middle of the album, then your time will not have been wasted if you stick through it until the end. |

| I never really listened to Crowbar much before, but this album is fucking strong- competes with a ton of the other 2022 releases, and is the 12th album overall in their career. RESPECT, for real. |

| This is pretty standard, with a few tracks of course worth returning to. It's right on that 3.5/4.0 spectrum but I'm gonna bump it cause I believe in it. |
| Desolate Shrine Fires of the Dying World | 3.5 |
| A fair offering from the band, but I remember their earlier stuff being much more visceral. 'The Silent God', 'Cast to Walk...' and The Furnace of Hope' were my highlights from this. |

| Giving an extra .5 just 'cause. It's not a bad EP; one new song, one re-recorded, and two competent covers. Which btw they covered In Flames' 'Behind Space'. That song is always win but it's pretty much a carbon copy. But still though, the song is win and they didn't fuck it up. |
| Hellbore Panopticon | 3.5 |
| Really verges on a 4 and there are some standout tracks (All Men, Terror Eyes, Necrocracy, Panopticon I and III), but at the same time it also unfortunately falls a little too much into the category of 'serviceable'. |
| Deha Decadanse | 3.5 |
| Centinex The Pestilence | 3.5 |
| Flummox Rephlummoxed | 4.0 |
| Yo, this album is mad. Pretty much a mix of psychedelic, rock, grunge, technical metal, stoner, and idk whatever else falls between. The vocalist is of the multi-talented variety but also stays grounded in the traditional heavy metal style with that kind of belted singing, but still mixes it up. For a taste I'd recommend listening to the first track 'Flummoxing Act 1: Garbonzo's Leap' or the incredibly strong early highlight 'The Whispering Banshees'. Definitely going to be overlooked this year, if you've heard that Wait (USA) - The End of Noise record from this year then you'll probably like this. |

Hell of a song this year. The last track is probably the weaker of the three, but it's not a letdown. I haven't given many 4.5's this year but I'm going to put one here for awhile. |

It's a pretty mixed bag, and rec'd purely toward completionists. |

| I was going to let this one slide and maybe pop it in as a light rec in a list or two, but aside from a decent three track escapade in Enlist, Soul Regained (personal favorite) and the biter 'Hellzeimer' it was the contemplative closer titled 'Unconscious Predator (Pt 1)' that really snagged my attention. A simple plucked guitar melody with a single burst of riffage and a grunt and back to the melody to close it out . Little moments like these are why I find it worthy when scouring through hundreds upon hundreds of demos. The depth conjured even with the simplest of experimentation is certainly a tact to be appreciated all on it's own, even if it's a bit rudimentary. It's nice to enjoy the little things. |

| This band has been throwing any remaining listeners for a loop lately; firstly releasing two albums in 2020, one passable and one so overwhelmingly weak I wouldn't hesitate to consider it to be their nadir, then slapping back with a complete double album by the likes of 'Agma' in the last days of 2021, which most likely has gone completely overlooked but for those invested actually delivered a remarkably attentive package for something that was if I recall like an hour and a half long. Here we have four new songs, delivered in the wake of the conflict in Ukraine, sparked as a fundraiser with all proceeds going to UNHCR. Musically, it is solid as an EP alone though my favorite track was the short and sweet opener. Traditionally I would probably do this as a 3.5, but I'm willing to stand by the bonus points attributed and say this is worth your time spinning, and by extension if it was enjoyed why not take a look into Agma. |

| With each release I enjoy this band less, and less, and less. This scene is slipping back into parodic rather quick after the erect and small success of other recent hxc chompers/biters. Don't wear it too much on your sleeves guys/gals, even though [it] wouldn't be anywhere if you all of a sudden, didn't. |
| Dragon Fallen Angel | 4.0 |
| This album doesn't really mess around, and I can definitely say it's a lost gem from the year of 1990. Not only is it an improvement from the debut, but there is some actual strong and rather surprising dm influence to be found here, which I say encompasses a good 50-60%, with the rest being the typical thrash admixture. Sometimes the songs seem to trail on for a minute too long but it is a 45 minute album, so you're still getting your solid time worth. |

| Unholy as fuck. Get brutalized. 15 min. Fuck the breakdown near the end of Chainsaw Arena will get anyone swinging. Got that sludge tone too, and overall the guitar playing is the vicious melding of a sledgehammer/pick axe combo. The atmospheric chorus riff that slides right into those drum toms on Foetal Concept is slick as shit. I ain't even playing. This is the kind of shit you wake up and eat breakfast for. Outstanding and phenomenal, ends where it begins. |

| This gets to be a lot of fun on the second play around. Was initially a 3.5 verging on 4, but this is some wicked spawn shit. Last track is sick but there are a few other highlights as well. |
| Chagrin See You... Never | 4.0 |
| This is a strong 4 from me, but mileage will vary. I find it beautiful and striking; others could see it as typical, vanilla, or not very varying. It's somewhere around 52 minutes which can be overlong for something like this but for me it's totally worth it, because the back half is packed with strong cuts such as "Right from the start", "The world will not change". Great for waking up to a dreary morning such as this. |
| Helvaetra Demo | 3.0 |
| Wandelaars Verbroken | 3.5 |
| Nightrage Abyss Rising | 2.5 |
| Deathless Void Deathless Void | 3.5 |
| When everything kicks in on track two after the dissonant ambience of the introductory opener, it starts to fucking rip immediately. What follows is a three minute scorcher and a 7 minute pummeler that leads out with a by now all too familiar melody in the last two minutes. So what you're looking at is just about ten minutes of music. The tracks themselves are strong but on the whole it feels a little too incomplete. Could certainly have used another track or two to give it more body. No doubt if this band continues it would certainly be competent, but the success lies in whether it can be distinguished enough amid an unfortunate saturation of the genre. |
| Autosarcophagy Dolor | 4.0 |
| Windveill There Inevitably Will Be Silence | 3.0 |
| Bleakwinter Shrine Inundation | 3.0 |
| The last track "Sea" is the strongest here, but unfortunately I felt too ambivalent about most of the rest even though it picks up cohesion and pace on track 3. Fells kinda split in two, an ok half in the first two tracks, and a decent to mostly solid half in the last two. |

| Blackened doom makes you go hmmmmm? There's really no reason why this is barely scraping a 3.0 avg, this is fantastic. 1's and 2's make absolutely no sense, unless it's just once again another habit of piggybacking. |
| Mathan Darkroot Tzantza | 4.5 |
| Oh my god. What the fuck. Get tore up. This will absolutely be one of the most underlooked releases out of this year. |
| WAIT (USA) The End of Noise | 4.0 |
| Krvvla X | 4.0 |
| In all honesty, this was over too quickly. I do not see this as a detriment but there is something about it that makes you just want a little more. All the main portion tracks are solid enough fare, but the penultimate "XVII" is by far the highlight here. Straight channels Rorcal and I am an absolute sucker for anything that resembles Vilagvege. It falls in the category of 4 for me and will mingle with my others in that tier throughout the year, and I suspect I'll give a shout-out to this later. Though it's not too harsh of a critique when saying "I liked it, but want to hear more", lol, even though I could see how it somewhat under-delivers to other listeners. |

| Animarum The Gaian Mind | 3.5 |
| First riff is Cynic incarnate which def rips and I think is repeated later on in Ambrosia to nice effect. The songs in themselves are a little "trope-ic" relying and may be slightly overlong in nature, but it's still a relatively short +/-25 min EP that's great for at least 1 spin. There are strengths here to pull off a full-length but it would be dependent on the level and amount of honing and focus required to be fully spectacular. |

| Rolo Tomassi Where Myth Becomes Memory | 4.5 |
| Yeah, this is really that good. Some absolutely stellar tunes and the closer is a gutpunch. This could be a 5 in time, depending on the amount of love one chooses to bury with it. |

| Giant Squid Minoans | 3.0 |
| I fell asleep on this band after Ichthyologist and after 7+ years they still haven't been able to wake me up. It's almost the equivalent of a yawn that you somehow just can't shake. The Ichthyologist is so gd good for most of its runtime I hate to say it, but it's looking like this band is mid at best, with one home-run to its name. All the middling traits of the previous record but hardly any of the *spice* that gave it flavor. It's tofu. |
| The Ocean Collective / Mono Transcendental | 2.5 |
| A 2.5 might be kind of harsh, but both songs seem like long-winded rambles. When the vocals finally kick in on The Ocean's side it seems like something might be cooking up but the songwriting could have used more than a few edits. Seems like a weird time period for both bands, each wading in their respective waters. This could have been really sweet if it was even just a tad more cohesive. |

| Negativa (ESP) 04 | 4.0 |
| That dark, oppressive and dissonant bm atmosphere we've most certainly all heard by now, but the thing is, is that it's still good. And it lends itself a great hand in the making of the structure and compositions here, that the whole thing ultimately is stronger because of it. |

| Pythonissam From Beyond, From Below | 3.0 |
| Psychic Possessor Toxin Diffusion | 3.0 |
| Asphyx Carnage Remains | 2.0 |
| Two instrumental tracks with some pretty terrible production. The drums have a little spice to them albeit extremely momentarily, and the riffs lean heavy on the ultra simplistic side. The eponymous opening track is an early version of "Cadaver Camp" on the next demo which I believe was the weakest of the few there. All in all, this is basically skippable, but it is only like 5 mins. |

| Overall this is like a 3, but a half-point goes to 'Streams of Ancient Wisdom' alone which is a dope song. Asphyx demos are notable because they each have some hidden gems that aren't found elsewhere (to my knowledge) but this is the least astonishing of the few. Listed as a "single" on the archives, but the two songs here are unique to the release as far as I know. |

| Reincremation Bathing in Blood | 4.0 |
| The first time I heard this I was so high it turned my brain into muck. Initially it seemed, that it was possible for this to fall into the category of being so brutal and debilitating on existence it calls into question whether it is even enjoyable. A sober revisiting aligns to the idea that this is just plain old, near perfect brutality. The very essence of so, and must be perceived on the benchmark of that quality. An incredibly solid 4-song grouping of disparity, with nauseating blasts, overwhelming distortion, and freakish ever-so seldom leads. "Blood-Stained Literature (Deteriorated Flesh Used)" is the capstone for one of the most brutal, fully depraved tunes laid to tape. |

| This is some good shit, but even saying so kinda undersells it. I get a lot of Deeds of Flesh vibes but really only from the dual-sounding vocals. This is some pretty groovy rhythmic dm, where the blasts and stuff are very segmented between the slower groove-esque breakdowns so ultimately it relies on a simpler construction but it's still very effective on producing some good sounding dm at almost all times. I loved that synthy keyboard interlude and they even break out some operatic vocals that fits in with the song (I think it's track 5) super tightly. |

| Damn, I hate to do it as there are only about a dozen demos I've rated where I've given a bad score on "production" alone, but this is falling in that category. The first song is crazy unlistenable because you just can't hear shit, but the demo picks up in moments of clarity a little bit, rearing it's head here and there as it goes, but is it enough? Track 3 "In Nomina" is straight dump-bin, and "The Sins of Jesus Christ" is mostly throwaway but gets moving around better in the last two minutes. Track two "Into the Death" while the best song here, is another one of those songs where the motif is too closely a variation of the main opening riff on Infernal Death off SBG. Something about that one huh. The live track is ok and not any better or worse sounding than anything else here and the last minute is crowd banter. If the production was a little better I would be more open to giving it another half a point. |

| This is excellent and a unique surprise of an album to land on my recommended. It's brutal dm with a palatable linear approach in that respect, but also a little experimental in places at precisely the right times that truly feels a little more special when comparing it to other compositions. The vocals are sick with a lot of weird-ass stylings like half-yells and whispers done between sweet epic passages of gurgles and grunts and throaty screams. It riffs and burps splendidly, what can I tell you. |

| I wasn't going to do a soundoff to this but "Grave Euphoria (Coffin Dust II)" is an absolute MUST listen track. The following track "Ectoplasmic Meltdown" is also fantastic, and I enjoyed "Sick Shift" and "Feed Me" quite a bit too. The rest is pretty fair. It's like a 54 minute album. There's two tracks here from a previous EP; "Boneyard Rampage" and the aforementioned eponymous "Ectoplasmic". For real, listen to "Grave Euphoria" and Ecto, and the closer is alright but it's pretty long at 9 min and doesn't reach the highs of the better songs. |

| Wombbath Agma | 4.0 |
| Call it a surprise, call it a comeback, where Wombbath is concerned it's both and a little more. Considering the past few subpar releases of the "revived" band, an odd pining towards the Internal Caustic Torment days, and some overly praise-ridden messaging by the label Transcending Obscurity to sell w/e they release be it a new album or comp from the band, at this point the odds were stacked against them. Coming out on the last day of the year too, guarantees a certain amount of overlook even amongst the most dedicated of listeners throughout the year. Billed as a double-album (really an hour and some change) too, tends to have it's drawbacks, especially in a dm context. All of what I said however, in terms of alluding to any potential consequence, somehow was subverted in regards to the final product. Somewhere between standard and stellar, this is a fantastic outing that for sure is not going to get the attention it deserves. Better than Asphyx's Necroceros and quite a few other acts of the same age that released this year, with heights of its own. Guitarist contributes violin on some tracks as well. Check this out, it will be worth it and flows way easy on the ears, passing the time like a breeze. Some good shit here. |

| The final track, one of two handled by Cryptosis, lays down a pretty decent but simple groove which is one of the few things that doesn't feel inherently lifeless on here, but it also manages to become overused and redundant by the time the song finishes. Hm. |

| This is so much not like the album cover it's almost funny, and certainly has a novelty of its own for it. Yeah those related bands are accurate, but even moreso, is that this is a pretty fun release. It reminds me of that Draconian last year which was great, but I also pick up on some Unexpect here and there (though never that level of manic), and honestly it's just a fun mashup of your garden variety operatic and progressive doom genres that's really not bad, especially for 1994. There's plenty enough variation to actually be kept surprisingly interested throughout, and the song structure is more than solid. The cover is awesome and hilarious to an extent when considering the juxtaposition of a progressive doom genre atop the goregrind text and imagery which all in all makes it even more engaging. This is certainly a different take on things, for novel sake or not, it's well worth the listen. For a moment, it makes the unexpected nature of music great again. |

If you like Portal but wished they cut to the chase a bit and can do without the abundant overlay of mystery, then give this 12 minute listen a spin. The second song is a rather effective segue with female choir vocals that is really pretty nice. Couldn't really find any additional information but seems like a one-man project, and of German origin. Give it a spin.rhttps://srv666.bandcamp.com/album/demo |

| maybe the unsung hero of the entirety of 2021. I struggled with Revival ultimately rating it higher than it should be just because I still like that Howard is around doing vocals, but despite the most formulaic track times you can imagine for metalcore (every song is between 3:06 and 3:46 except the final) with a few tracks having identical track lengths, the songs come and go with plenty of decent flow. The album is ridiculously strong for the first seven tracks, and then it finally starts to wane after that, but the opening three tracks, as well as 'Living with a Ghost', and most importantly 'Death of Me' are wonderful in my opinion, with the latter especially feeling of that heartsick emotion we haven't heard so good since this side of Arms of Sorrow that I'd like to even call it a spiritual successor. It finally seems as if Howard has fully been fitted into the right shoes since his time after KSE II. I forgive the album's weaker second half, as the strengths of this record should at least be given more of a spotlight. |

| Iniquitatem Through Dead Forests, He Dwells | 5.0 |
| This is pure, raw, unadulterated doom. To me, this sounds like it is of the tolling effigy beladen to the funeral doom type but I've been told before that I am mistaken for what I consider funeral doom versus what is funeral doom. Be that as it may, you have all the paces of a plodding dirge laid out on the page before you, with 5-10 seconds of pause minimum between when stick hits crash and and stick hits snare, and that's when you're moving. Now here's the thing, doom/funeral doom isn't much my thing because it's hard to pick out nuances amongst these acts so when it comes to quality, is it great because of how standard it is as it sticks to genre? Or how exceptionally engrossing it is regardless whether you have heard it before? What is good if you have heard it expressed in the same manner and fashion whether it be 5, 10, or 100 times already before? For me, it's the conglomeration of these two acts, and for that I award it to thee- A Perfect Score. |

Dundararai is absolutely a standout track, as
well as the closer but wholly I feel like
this particular experimentation is a little
dry. But I must applaud the effort in creating
something so entirely different that the best
way I feel to describe it is tropical black
metal. Seriously. It's actually kind of
amazing in that aspect, but I'm just not big
on the first three songs. This the kinda shit
you can sit on the beach and drink pina
coladas to, lol. Watching various exotic birds

It's quite an outstanding performance by him here, and he handles the guitars and bass as well. This shit seriously kicks off by track 2, and track 5 "Wolf in the Vortex" it's some ultimate shit. Was at a 4 initially, but the newfound information bumps it up a .5 EASILY. Paul is fucking underrated and amazing man. Simply awesome vocal performance with sick song progression and a clear and deviceable reason why this is everything akin to being Ulcerate's little brother. |

I'm just saying, more often than not it's like Masvidal is afraid to actually play riffs on his guitar and just when it feels like it's getting there it pulls back. |

It's what initially put me off being excited about it, because RM is still as awesome as it comes but I don't want a duplicate. Luckily the rest of the album is actually a decent step and variation from that approach. Score could increase an increment over time, we'll see. |

| It's basically impossible while listening to this that the thought of 'trying too hard' crops up at least once amid every song. That usually lends itself to some feeling of inauthenticity where the compositions feel more synthetically derived (i.e. implemented more as a product) rather than actually being natural. The clean cut image, especially that of the "prep turned hardcore" frontman doesn't seem to do any favors, at least for me anyway. This is just evolved mall-core with a prettier sheen to balance the "grit" but it still doesn't ever want to step away from the shrine of adolescence. |

Since I added this, I'll write a blurb as
well. Instrumental band from South Africa that
plays a competent blend of progressive death
metal. Nothing mind-blowing but the song
structures are varied and the instrumental
nature is good enough to not feel bland or
dull for but a section or two here and there.
Idk, I kind of got a Scale the Summit circa
'Carving Desert Canyons' vibe but without the
crazy (or excessive) amount of frills, but
make no mistake it's still a complement to
both, but I think it comes from a similar
headspace of songwriting. I'd like to see what
they can do on a full-length for sure. Enough
blasts and double bass to qualify as
progressive dm, but I was yearning for a
little more of some syncopated rhythm
sections, but the last track especially the
first few minutes kinda hashes a bit of that
out. Give this a try, I'm sure anyone will
walk away with at least enjoying a song or
two.

| This just bangs, flat out. I was going to give it a four since it seemed it might get tiring and daresay overwhelming by it's end, but it's been a minute since I heard a dm release with some actual power behind it, so I'm gonna bump it up a .5. Mostly because the 4 is locked in and I already know that at least that's gonna stick. Each track just makes you want more and it's a good length. |
| Indricothere Tedium Torpor Stasis | 3.0 |
| Okay, this isn't as bad as it sounds, really. But uhm, it kind of f*cks with any attempt at rating. Like, on the surface there's stuff that comes off straight as a 2, or worse, but then that's only if you dissect it from it's context. This is just slow dm riffs played over tincan drums, all instrumental mind you, and to be honest the whole thing just feels slowed down by 25%. The drums I'm just gonna say, never sound like they are in time but whatever. If you have this playing on in the background, it's gonna come off sounding better than when giving any cognitive attention to it. It's like a single one-channel guitar over semi-random but not ever fast drums and harmonica sounding solos every now and then, and with a slightly better audio recording than from a garage. Like I said, it's better listening when you're occupied and not paying full attention to it. The musicianship I can't really comment on because I can't play shit but it does come off as being relatively simple. With that said, it's still kind of cool because it is rather non-intrusive background noise you can have on doing whatever. For that, I will rate it on my overall enjoyability without too much critical appeal forming the senses. I find a 3 to be fair. And like I said, it's *not* terrible if under the right circumstances. But for sure, some people will hate this. |

| So, if there was an album that came out in 2020 that I could give the stamp of being unequivocally epic, it would fall gladly into the arms of this disc. Now, this is one of only a small few power metal records I've heard that came out in the year, but I think regardless, the attribution still stands. An immense amount of variation, and while I was going to comment on how the vocals periodically capture some of the best by our good old friend Hansi Kirsch, deeper into the record I realized that what this actually is, is the trademark of a quality Blind Guardian album that seems to have been missing from their very own catalogue for a number of years now. This is what stepping up to the plate actually sounds like. |

| Omg dude these vocals are amazing lol. Like holy shit. I mean, they *are* funny as hell and a few times I laughed out loud like "the fuck dude" but by the middle of the second song I was sold no lie. And basically this just delivers some dark blast shit right to your door and the whole thing ends on a high note. Like, a screeching banshee high note that comes to a halt faster than 90 at a brick wall. Basically, you're either gonna love or hate this. |

| This sort of straddles the 3.5 and 4.0 line. But one thing is for sure, track 9 "Akrasia ad Imperium" fucking rips it. The release is rather long at over an hour, but it is another one-man piece so there's still much to be admired in that. It's mostly just some standard death with maybe a little more solo-y moments filled in the longer compositions. The vox are what you expect, in terms of a regular grumble, but still get the job done and are serviceable to the song. Once in a while they might break into an impressive moment or two. There's a cover of Demon of the Fall for you Opethers out there I think it's pretty good, and neat to have included. Fuck it, this certainly ends on a high note so I'll slap the 4 on it for now. Check that song Akrasia ad Imperium and see what you like. |

| oh my god you can just smell the high-grade dank coming off from these riffs. Just littered with little orange hairs around the whole thing. Songs take turns in ways where you can almost expect it but it still delivers the goods right to your doorstep in a manner that is still surprising and different, and most importantly pleasant. In an age where it feels like you've heard it all, this comes in fresher than cut grass. There's touches of some of the best from the likes of The Red Sea, Celestial and Oceanic by your favorite past post-metal powerhouse Isis, in ways previously done by others in the genre that doesn't always feel as fulfilling. This is what I expected from a lot of those other bands, new or old. The watermark clearly has been raised. Get this post-metal sluggernaut in your ears pronto, por favor. |

| Aeternam Al Qassam | 3.5 |
| The track Ascension goes pretty hard for being a simpler structured song on the album, give that one a listen and see if you like. The album has some very well blended middle-eastern flair throughout. |
| Paradise Lost Obsidian | 4.0 |
| Even with the bonus tracks, this felt like an incredibly fast 56 minute listen. That's usually a strength- as is the case here. Can't say I heard more than two albums by Paradise Lost thus far, and it seems like I may be missing a larger part of their nuance in respect to their vast discography, but I feel like this could work as a good introduction to the band. I will certainly look into some more after some additional listens to this. |
| Deftones Ohms | 3.5 |
| Serpent Column Kathodos | 4.5 |
| This was my most enjoyable Serpent Column in terms of complete listen. Easy 4, and honestly probably rather accessible, but I'm just gonna give it that extra bump because I find this highly repeatable in listens. |
| Shores of Null Beyond the Shores (On Death and Dying) | 3.0 |
| If the death experienced was slow and long and carried on and on repeating itself, this could be very accurate, but the dramatics of this piece as it is instilled (along with the accompanying video) makes me realize that the speed and perfunctory-ness of grind is a closer depiction of most death, rather than the utmost brooding and long-standing reflection of the most common concepts of the topic dragged on and on throughout the whole duration, to the point where... you'll be wishing for something.. But I guess, even this is enough to capture adolescent's attention even if to me, it's just pantomiming something deep and grandiose, because I honestly just find it silly. |

| Spectrum of Delusion Neoconception | 3.5 |
| This is pretty regular and not all too crazy tech death that honestly feels pretty laid back compared to a lot else of the genre. The reason for this soundoff however, is that sweet Intronaut-esque bass that honestly sounds amazing, awesome and wonderful and was definitely the surprise least expected. The tone sounds legitimately straight off of Prehistoricisms, so if any are familiar with more bass that sounds like this aside from Obscura, hit me up. This would be a 3.0 by critical standards but that bass slaps an extra .5 easily. |
| Profanity Fragments of Solace | 3.5 |
| This bands earlier material looks interestingrand I'm not sure how it compares or sounds,rbut this is your standard yet competentrextremely modern tech-death. An 8 minute songrfollowed by a 9 minute one in the middle ofrthe tracklist is an interesting structure, butrnothing quite stands out amongst the album asra whole and I hate to say it, but it justrfeels like one whole long one. |

| ЛЬОН З Живого Джерела | 3.5 |
| Since I added this here, I'll go ahead and include the Bandcamp link. https://soundfortress.bandcamp.com/album/- . It's pretty standard bm with some atmospheric influence and nothing that you wouldn't like. I think the band name translates to "Linen" but even if you copy and paste the name it doesn't show up here. Album comes out to about 26 mins with 5 tracks, one over 8 minutes. But it's all pretty much what you get from the first track, but the last one is a little different than your typical BM vibe in the rhythm section. |
| Molested Divinity Unearthing The Void | 3.0 |
| We've all heard this album 100 times, to add another one in 2020 is the overstatement of redundant, but if we're rating it on consistent pummeling then it does indeed achieve that feat. The track Molesting the Divine does have a middle of the way groove somewhere buried beneath assault which mostly works. I guess if I had to compare it, it's like the audio equivalent of your everyday Cheerios in the morning. Gets the job done, but it's rather dry and you can't live off it for nutrition. You're gonna need something else but it gets you started. |
| Khthoniik Cerviiks Æequiizoiikum | 3.0 |
| I kinda had some expectations from this that weren't quite met after hearing the first release. There seems to just be less variation all around and nothing strikes from the gut like on the debut. |
| Khthoniik Cerviiks SeroLogiikal Scars (Vertex of Dementiia) | 4.0 |
| Omegavortex Black Abomination Spawn | 4.0 |
| This was quite nifty I must say, and pretty solid for a full-length debut. It meanders somewhere around the middle and up until the end, but the last track appropriately wraps it up as a complete package. Some decent twisty guitar work, thick as vines in some places. |

| Monstrous Dawnsleeper | 3.5 |
| Kinda continuing my trend of giving an extra .5 mark to average releases, just for a little distinguishability. It's not great but it's good. 29 minutes but it felt rather bland by the end of it. Could just be me. |
| Revolting The Shadow At The World's End | 3.5 |
| I consider this a 3.5 just out of rater bias. It's really like a 3.0 or maybe less for some others. It's all around pretty average and typical and I think the production is a little off. It's been a while since I've listened to Revolting but I've always given them good marks in the past. |
| Turpitude Brume hiémale | 4.5 |
| I was somewhat enchanted by this release. The music is straight up the album cover strangely, and there's still a background of lo-fi all throughout. Like the reviewer above, it is dense sounding but with depth . It's some fairly regular structure and typical BM pacing, but every once in a while it breaks into some more jagged and discordant angular riffing as small transition spots that really peak the song up. All in all, great atmosphere and everything was to my liking. It's got a mood for sure. |

| I haven't heard something this unleashed since this side of Rorcal - Vilagvege, and that's really really impressive to say the least . The only track that deviates from the formula is the final doom-ridden paced closer, 'Era'. Everything which precedes is quite honorably sheer madness. This one was quite the surprise and is simply unconcerned with pulverizing and thrashing around any passengers who have decided to go along for the ride. Definitely do not skip this gem. |

I went back and checked, no albums of this legendary musician I have heard, I've warranted the score to, unless perhaps the ratings have been scourged like with a few of his albums on here. 17 minute ambient sleeper Door One makes you wonder what's the deal. So is the five awarded to the last 13 minutes of the Pike? You bet. It's BH composing one of the truest BH songs to his form. It's all the cluck. Now, in time this can drop a peg to a 4.5, but for you readers there: listen. |

Lol, is (Shevanel Take 2) really a greatest
hit? Guess it's just there to show the soft
side. Anyway, with that said, the order for
the first half of the tracklist is alright
compared to the atrocious back end of disc
one. The live tracks are your standard BTBAM
live-fare. The label basically nailed all of
the qualifying hits from Silent Circus and
Alaska (how could you not, really), but fail
miserably with any of their opus material. You
know what, lemme compile my list of Best Of
for the era to shed some justice.
Disc I. 1. Mordecai 2. Ad a Dglgmut 3.
Aesthetic 4. Selkies: The Endless Obsession 5.
Alaska 6. Backwards Marathon 7. Sun of Nothing
8. Ants of the Sky 9. Mirrors 10. Swim to the
Moon.
Disc II. Keep the lives but throw an extra
bone or two and include Lost Perfection,
Camilla Rhodes, and All Bodies. Take out 'Ad a
Dglgmut' and replace w/ Roboturner, and close
it w/ Obfuscation live.
Granted many of these aren't personal favorite
songs but are pretty collectively the best of
this solid era of the band. I would have liked
to have added More of Myself to Kill, or
Arsonist, or really anything from S/T but I'm
unsure of the running length of the list I
already gave. But with this band, you never
know lol. |

| After fifteen years of anticipation, and *literal anticipation*, since being hooked deep by their first release, what can be said besides letting the music speak for itself. There are changes, mostly small additional nuances to the sound, and while the oh so good and more "abrasive" metalcore sections, for all their charm, have been smoothed, there isn't any lack of aggression. Ultimately, a triumph and full album experience from one of the more promising, but hard turns of luck bands out there in the scene today. Toast up! |

| Definitely a worthy group of songs. I mean, it's a little slow, but it's got some great melodic vocal pieces the songs seem to revolve around so it gives it that atmosphere. Last two tracks were some real highlights, but once the opener gets going you know what you're gonna get. Could have split the intro portion and opening track into two however, so it's not a bang-on 11 minute trek. |

| There's a significant 'holding back' of the crunchy, distorted guitar bits, and the album is at its best when the whole band is actually kicking in and playing, as there is a lay period between tracks 2 and 5 that equals around 9 minutes of music where you're just waiting for the band to drop in with riffs, (and even track 2- Quantum Determinism takes its fair share of time before getting into it), but fortunately the final two tracks help to substantiate the urge just enough. It's definitely a laid back release and I have not heard their debut to compare it, but I do like the less aggressive, sorta leisurely approach to 'we'll jam it out when we get to it.' It's good instrumental background music at the least, and appear to be just a small band from Mexcio City. Gonna give it a 4 because it's easy for it to get some quick rotations and is just enough in terms of substance, but I could see why others would rate it lower. I would like to hear more in the future. |

| This is a tricky one, cause on one hand there isn't much like it, but on the other there's parts that are incredibly homologous. There's a sleepy overture type nature that is throughout all the songs aside from maybe Deathgazer, which is certainly fitting of the album's title, and really I haven't heard any osdm which places the slow creepy segments so frequently and abrupt amid the songs, that is interesting, but also drops you off and kinda leaves you nowhere at times. There's collectively about 4.5 minutes before you're really introduced to vocals on the album, at 1 minute and 30 seconds into the second song, and the album pretty much continues in that vein. Vocalist kicks back like Schuldiner at times, and has some really good tones in Cauliflower Growth, and I'd say the strongest parts of the album lie in the middle, from Deathgazer (track 3) to the aforementioned Cauliflower Growth (track 6). All in all, it definitely has the likes of 4rmaterial, but only through repeated enough listens will I be able to weigh in on that, so for now it's going to be kept at a comfortable 3.5. It is pretty cool though.r |

| I'm gonna go ahead and slap the 4.5 on this here. Once the album gets its momentum it doesn't really ever lose it. Kolossos Pt. 1 is a chorale interlude, and Pt. 2 is a melodic instrumental piece that has flavorings akin to the Harvest Wombs t/t but keeping the tempo up, and not going into any droning passages. The namesake title track here that essentially closes the album really has a feeling of culmination earned and a peak a little behind the curtain with it's lead driven aspiring guitar finale. With a less biased leaning this is a strong effort and certainly earns an excellent rating, the 4.5 here is to push the recommendation a little further up. |

| The Almyrkvi set of songs which open the disc are some incredible fare and has me considering going back to relisten to their LP Umbra. The Ruins of Beverast side was my first exposure to the band and while not of the same strong quality as the two songs preceding it, still fill out the Split well enough, having more of an atmospheric side rather than the full-on engagement of the Almyrkvi material respectively. |

| The first three tracks almost run as one 12 minute long opener with awesome internal composure, and right when it would be beneficial to slow down and take a momentary pace car lap, tracks La Cura and Kenosis provide just that, ushering in a relaxing mid-point before the rather abrupt finale that in the end, makes me wish it was only half over. |

| The 2.8 average on here isn't justified and I'm not sure why it'd be rated so low to begin with. Sure the release is a little long at an hour, but 45 minutes of it goes by pretty fast and then there's only one track left. Plus it's some solid bm. Not groundbreaking but definitely solid enough and it stands on its own. If you're checking this band out because of their 2020 release, don't pass on this because of the rating. Also, track 3 Gnothi Seauton is better to hear pushed further back in the tracklist second to last, and makes it a smoother overall listen. |
| VoidCeremony Entropic Reflections Continuum: Dimensional... | 4.5 |
This was a pretty fresh first listen. The "four" is strong with this one. Got some sticky Cynic
bass that pops up and a grimey instrumental cut on track 4. Kinda a combination of where the
cavern tech-death is going with some sludgey stops in the middle, but also a raw osdm layery
substance on top. Like a sweet marmalade biscuit. This may get jumped up to a 4.5 in time because
this is a top contender for one of the most favorite and memorable listens of the year so far.
Maybe a track too short, cause its over quick and I definitely wanted to hear more of what it was
selling. |

| This is some pretty good blackened crust death and has some definite 4.5 moments here. Only a 23 minute listen but actually feels a bit longer considering the sludgy tempo and only three songs even reach the 3.5 minute mark. Definite rec all things considered. |

| So glad this one-man tour-de-force is continuously putting out awesome music and on a yearly basis. From the first album to now Esoctrilihum has been carving a unique niche in a genre which already prides on the subtleties of how it distinguishes itself, and his compositions carry through once again in increasing varying and differing ways, and needless to say are equally form-fitting. As a side-note, the album cover art is titled "The Dracula of Mars." The music is definitely a trip to Mars, in a Ray Bradbury black-metal spaceship, and complete with encounters with vampires. |

| Small band from Ontario, just two members with a female drummer. They only have EP's but worth it as a spin to get some recognition. |

Not a clone particularly though I was reminded of material by the likes of Altarage though even
they have a different vibe as well. I enjoyed the first four tracks more than the latter half
though. Would like to see what they can do when they get a little more refined. |

'Fairy god-mother' more like it. The vocalist is a huge pretentious prick that doesn't allow
hardcore dancing or moshing at their shows, yet proceeds to take up the whole entire floor with
the mic stand in the middle of the crowd and performs his own dancing freakout shenanigans.
Biggest vibe killer ever. Oh and did I mention he actually had people perform a limbo just to
prevent moshing? How about this, 1. Don't write hardcore songs, and 2. Go back to Sweden. And no,
they're not reinventing anything, but it's hardcore, it's already a simple formula. Play it right
and you might succeed. And yeah, "God Mother" might play it right sonically, but they have a thing
or two to learn. But threatening to kick someone out for as much as wiggling their toes while you
crowd surf and hang off banisters? Yeah you bet I'm running your "hardcore" name into the ground.
And this is just from a bystander perspective, I wasn't even the one called out in between 3 of
the songs. Maybe next album, we'll all hold hands and play hopscotch. |

Reinventing their exit? Of course this was a
disappointment, but it *has* grown ever so
slightly since it's release. It's just so hard
to find the creativity here when before the
practice was simply a non-issue. This
literally makes each of their previous albums
an entire point stronger by default. It seems
like there is a new album in the works which
upon impression based on talks so far, feels
sonically like what would have been expected
here. Thing is, if the next one is good, it'll
also make this one weaker, so this 11 song
collection of Underoath is *the* red-headed
stepchild of them all. Truly hesitant to
decide on a 2 or 2.5 here, a 3 would be max
imo, and a 3.5 (or more) would be coming too
close to the band doing no wrong. All in all,
the band's image is way too off for this to
not appear as a tripped-up step. Infamous
throughout their catalogue for over-
analyzation (which certainly brought about
it's high marks), the next biggest change
appears to be how any analyzing to be found
here has produced something vacuous enough to
feel as though none was there in the first
place. |

From the beginning, Protector were shaping up
to be one of the most underrated acts in the
death metal business, and from hearing the
two-track demo and relistening to this, I have
no reason to change my score. It's a hell of
an ep release from '87, with some absolute
substance in all of these cuts; almost as
enjoyable as Scream Bloody Gore and is more
listenable than Morbid Angel. These songs are
a must-have in your Protector collection. |
