YOB (OR)
Our Raw Heart
— Mike's deeply-moving vocals and electrifying accompaniment
created a matured sound that is meditative and perfect for coupling
drugs and nature.
15:23-19:13
AT THE GATES (Sweden)
The Colours of the Beast
— In the 90's I headbanged to this band religiously in my car.
Their new albums sound a lot like Slaughter, but why the hell not.
Again, with age comes refinement.
19:40-25:42
DE PROFUNDIS (UK)
Opiate For The Masses
— Death and classic metal with black streaks, riffs, technical and
prog. A full spectrum.
26:21-31:29
ISA (MA)
Stage IV - Evil
— One man band hails from bostonfreeradio station's hood. He
somehow makes goblin music emotional and unexpected, rippling out
in psychedelic waves. Really original stuff - check it out

CARDIAC ARREST (Chicago)
When The Teeth Sink In

time.

FAAL (Netherlands)
Evoking Emotions
— Gawddammit if these little diddies didn't make this Indian gal's
black heart clench. Evoking emotions indeed.
45:10-50:07
ZARRAZA (Kazakhstan)
Abyss Above Me
— Wow, metal from muscular bros in Kazakhstan. Guess how aggro this
sound is.
50:46-56:46
URFAUST (Netherlands)
False Sensorial Impressions
— When the vocalist decided to do an unwavering screech with a wall
of sound, it made my brain decompress perfectly. Thank you Satan,
for allowing me this moment of peace.
57:08-END
GRÁ (Sweden)
Hvedrungs Maer
— Pet your black raven and listen to this Swedish black metal.
