CARNATION
(Belgium)
Cursed Mortality
— Carnation's 2020 album was
topnotch, and this matches it! Melodic groove, chomping and
galloping pace with incredible guitar solos.
8:56-19:22
CH'AHOM
(Germany)
Knots of Abhorrence I
— Tribal, fervent, swarming
primordial death and black. What a trip.

Scary metal isn't just for halloween.

AFTERBIRTH
(NY)
Angels Feast On Flies
— Realism mixed with fantastical and
unbelievable, otherworldly musicianship. My best Modern Death
in 2020, and this is another achievement. Psychedelic grind, raging
and melodic pops.

STORTREGN
(Swiss)
A Lost Battle Rages On
I loved this band in 2021 when I
added them to my “Best of” list. A perfect blend of technical
proggy death and melodic psychedelic black with an excellent
chilling vocalist. Incredible production.

DISMAL AURA
(CAN)
One Path, Many Voices
— Vocals slice and murder.
Strummed melodic beauty transforms this to melodic black
metal.
5:53-10:05
DISGUISED MALIGNANCE
(Finland)
Remnants of Serenity
— Groove-ridden, riff-heavy, fresh
noodly melodic death with an abrasive edge. The drummer
vocalist is 18?!?
