Chorus-driven, retro 80’s style, with an incredible lead singer.
Aria: Spellcaster (Portland)(0:28-4:47)
This album was recorded in the Thuringian forest. Period.
Scars: Coldworld (Germany)(6:18-13:02)
Sinister post-punk death rock noise.
This Nausea: Brothers (Nashville)(13:32-17:31)
Aggressive doom mixed with a touch of floating post-metal threads. Try to google the name of this band.

Lord Sargofagian leads Baptism. I mean, what else do you need to know.
The Sacrament Of Blood And Ash: Baptism (Finland)(21:53-28:12)
Swedish band is just brutal, so good.
Requiem: Diabolical (Sweden)(29:11-35:01)
Worst band name, really, 16? Like, wtf. They’ve been around for 25 years, and ended up with this stupid band name.
Landloper: 16 (LA/San Diego)(35:42-40:26)
Darker than their last album, thick sludge doom stuff.
All is Lost: Herder (Netherlands)(40:59-45:38)
More from the Dutch? Yes, please, with a black metal cherry on top.
