JESUS AIN'T IN
POLAND (Italy)
He Who Giveth, He Who Taketh
Away
— Jesus Ain't in Poland have slowed
their version of grindcore to dynamic, eruptive, melodic hardcore.
With some grind sprinkled on top.
7:35-13:36
REPRISAL
(UK)
Monomania
— Thrash breaks in technical
aggression.
14:14-22:15
AUGURY
(Montreal)
Anchorite
— Political, chic Montreal has a
seething metal scene. Melodic prog soften the edges of this
masterful death album.
22:56-29:32
BARREN EARTH
(Finland)
Spire
— Yes, you will hear Opeth, but
you'll hear that for most prog-dominated death and melodic bands.
This one has an immense lead singer, shared with
Hamferð.
30:03-36:17
ALTARS OF GRIEF
(CAN)
Iris
— Epic pec-heaving metal.
36:43-41:45
GLACIAL TOMB
(Denver)
Sunless Dawn
— Shared members of Khemmis and
Abigail Williams. Muscular sludge.
42:20-49:38
BORGNE
(Switzerland)
La Porte Du Chaos
— Swiss band Borgne means "one
eye", which made me think of a penis, I never claimed I was mature.
It has all the elements I love in one big album: space, ethereal,
black metal and full-on industrial.
50:37-54:06
QUANTUM HIERARCHY
(Italy)
Neutron Breed
— Debut ball of naked Italian
aggression.
54:32-END
DEADLY CARNAGE
(Italy)
Lumis
— Italian trippiness filling a galaxy
of shimmering goodness.
