| It's like people forget It Was Written, Stillmatic, God's Son, and The Lost Tapes exists - Nas has had plenty of projects that were solid across his career. He's undeniably wavered in quality over the last 15-20 years, but with that being said, KD2 is a cut above its predecessor in nearly every way and is one of the best "late period" projects from Nas. |

| Overall brighter, prettier, and more melodic than their usual offerings with the atmosphere not feeling as dense and oppressive as it was on past outings - depending on your taste that could be a positive or a negative thing. It's good, but ultimately it falls fairly short of the greatness of albums like Antithesis of Light and Atra Mors. |

| I've heard a lot of bands get compared to Opeth over the years, but this is one of the few that manages to deliver on that claim. Neither the growled nor clean vocals quite live up to Akerfeldt's, but these guys are showing some real promise on this album, curious to see where they take this sound in the future. |

outside of Youtube for once. |
| bansheebeat Lumine | 3.5 |
| Organic Infest Penitence | 2.0 |
| Very poorly recorded, standard fare stuff, but interesting if for nothing more than the fact that this is one of the few death metal groups to come from Puerto Rico in the early 90's. |
| Nembrionic Psycho One Hundred | 4.0 |
| Mystifier The World Is So Good That Who Made It Doesn't Live | 5.0 |
| Deicide Amon: Feasting the Beast | 4.0 |
| This material was from back before Deicide was technically Deicide - they were called Amon for a few demos and even separately released a record in 2012. The stuff here is really, really good, a great precursor to the first official Deicide (self-titled) record. |

| Her best record yet, she just keeps improving. |

| Sweepy, shreddy, tech-deathy instrumental metal that doesn't suck. They could really benefit from getting a vocalist on board though. |
| Radical Face The Family Tree: The Branches | 4.5 |
| Valkyrja The Antagonist's Fire | 4.0 |
| The best record Keep of Kalessin never wrote, albeit a bit slower paced. |
| Sandrider Godhead | 4.0 |
| Killer stoner-rock with some serious balls that doesn't get boring. This probably won't get the attention it deserves, but it's a real banger. |
| Keep of Kalessin Introspection | 3.0 |
| Short both in length and fresh ideas. This little EP shows that Keep of Kalessin still have the musical chops to hang with the best of them, but the atmosphere, the intricate songwriting and the production feel extremely thin and weak. The flashy guitar work on the short instrumental track "Flight of the Hatchling" is easily the most intriguing portion of this 10 minute affair. Hopefully these half-baked ideas can be further developed into another "Armada" caliber record in the near future, but I'm not sure I'm that optimistic. |
