| It's one of the few radio friendly rock albums I genuinely enjoy, and it just so happens to be from a Christian band. A small irony, I suppose. Tracks like "E for Extinction" and "Fire It Up" are what I'd like to hear more of on the radio. Less crap, please. That said...there are a lot of songs where the evangelizing is absolutely smothering, and that really kills a lot of the album for me. Five awesome/good/alright tracks is enough for a 3. |

| Cyanotic Transhuman | 4.0 |
Transhuman is an excellent debut for Cyanotic, but is plagued by inconsistency. The album
builds into fantastic songs that are then followed up by...nothing substantial. Highlights:
"Insurgence," "Sensory Deprivation," "Beta Blocker." |

| Some superb tracks - "Call the Ships to Port," "We Stand Alone," "We Want Revolution," but zero cohesiveness, and a lot of really awful filler. The superb tracks are classics to the fullest meaning of the word - I still get chills when I listen to "Call the Ships to Port" after having heard it hundreds of times - but the filler tracks are so awful...I don't listen to it as an album. This is the usual Covenant experience, unfortunately. |
| Grendel (NL) Harsh Generation | 4.5 |
| This is the one of the strongest aggrotek albums released. Excellent work all around. Highlights: "Harsh Generation," "Void Malign," "B.A.A.L (Deliver Me)," "New Flesh." |

| Up beat black metal? What the fuck is this?rAwesome. |
| Istapp Blekinge | 4.0 |
| This is an excellent album. High production values may offset purists but make the melodies (which might also offset purists) come to life. This is a package of 10 tightly wound songs, although I would have started the album with Koldens, to be honest. It starts somewhat abruptly. |
