0:25-7:42
DORMANT ORDEAL
(Poland)
The Borders of Our Language are not
the Borders of Our World
— Poland death is multi-flavored with
variation in pace and melody and a ton of groove, so
good.
8:30-13:07
REDEMPTOR
(Poland)
Debris
— Chugging and technical broken with
moody and sultry singer. Super fit and hot, I mean talented
guys.
13:28-24:29
SO HIDEOUS
(NYC)
Motorik Visage
— Orchestral, literally, black metal
that takes you on a roller coaster ride.
25:14-32:23
OPERA DIABOLICUS
(Sweden)
Darkest Doom on the Brightest of
Days
— An opera of epic guitar flights,
harmonizing vocals, theatrical vocals, bellowing organs and
orchestra. What a surprise.
32:58-35:34
LOCK UP
(Chile/USA/UK/Sweden)
Ashes
— Strangled vocalist from At the
Gates, Misery Index/Pig Destroyer, Napalm Death bassist are
terrible musicians. Just kidding, they have created a
teeth-grinding, punk and grind speed-driven fest.
35:51-42:55
CEPHEIDE
(France)
Les Larmes
— Romantic, soulful river of pain
runs through the scorching French black metal.
43:23-49:53
UNANIMATED
(Sweden)
The Poetry of the Scarred
Earth
— 4th album since the 80s, able to
swing with modern times. Punchy and groovy death with a beautiful
melodic black.
50:54-53:51
SERMON OF FLAMES
(Ireland)
I//H//D//O//D//E//S//I//W//A//C
— September release of a sharp,
cruelly-edged tectonic plate of sound. Death and electronic in a
cool mix by a duo.
54:09-END
HYPOCRISY
(Sweden)
Worship
— Swedish headbanging with a vocalist
that slays.
