WIEGEDOOD
(Belgium)
Now Will Always Be
— Spectacular technical black metal
with crystal clear moments to create a meditative
experience.
8:57-14:28
AETHEREUS
(WA)
Behold, The World Eater
— Tight melodic death mass with
haunting psychedelic using piano and violin and noodling heavy
metal. Great album.
15:09-25:00
ÆQUOREA
(CA)
Mirrors
— If you loved Batillus, this is made
for you. Massively melodic sludge and post-metal with that erupt in
incredible vocals.
25:34-30:35
DESCENT
(AU)
Despotic
— A head-churning moody death
elevated by a sharp screech.
30:56-35:10
SOM (?)
Heart Attack
— Rhythmic nostalgic shoegazy pop and
a soothing vocalist with bits and pieces of thick sludge. What an
album!
35:34-39:35
NOCTURNAL GRAVES
(AU)
Across the Acheron
— Glorious riffs in a sinister death
and thrash with a vicious black metal vocalist. Guitarist is in
Deströyer 666, which rules.
39:55-44:24
WOMBBATH
(Sweden)
At The Giant's Feet
— Swedish death metal with surprising
twists like violin, and all of this is insanely
groove-tastic.
45:17-48:08
WILDERUN
(Boston)
Distraction Nulla
— This is all about vocals, a
theatrical production, epic instrumentation in a cinematic,
progressive and retro heavy metal. So much here.
48:21-53:09
NECROPHAGOUS
(Sweden)
Wreaker of Pain
— Running man death, e.g. fucking
infectious as all hell.
53:29-END
THUMOS
(US)
The Just
— A beautiful, haunting, instrumental
post-metal and sludge.
