0:25-6:55
GOROD (France)
Savitri
— French perfection in technical and production continues with Gorod.  Opeth-styled prog beauty with a spectrum of rage and glorious guitars.  

7:56-12:57
ÚLFÚÐ (Iceland)
Faceless
— According to bandcamp, pronounced “ool-wooth”.  Vocals that shake the world, romantic black metal guitars create meditation with a bit of death leaning dissonance also in the album.

13:21-18:47
CONTRARIAN (NY)
Sage of Shekhinah
— Super-prog, super-bass with ethnic instrumentation and experimental jazz sections. But when the eclectic becomes pummeling, this becomes huge.  Quick moving, exciting album.

19:19-22:45
NIGHT DEMON (CA)
Rebirth
— Yes, I love bands that can do Scorpions covers (last year’s album).  This band is led by a stunning vocalist that does battle with any of the Swedish greats in this beautiful 70’s and 80's heavy metal style with amazing ballads. Tons of groove and soul.

23:12-29:07
DESOLATE REALM (Finland)
Forsaken Ground
— Death and thrash with glorious vocals that range from doomy to high-pitched Mercyful Fate style. 

29:34-33:37
KRUELTY (Tokyo)
Manufactured Insanity
— Brooding textural death vocalist in a mix of hardcore and death with noodle-y guitar and an overall chugging moshpit attitude.

33:59-39:50
FORETOKEN (VA)
His Riastrad
— Virginia in the hiz-house! Gruff vocals and a galloping melodic death metal with soulful harmonizing guitars and a wicked black vocal rasp with cold shards of black metal tremelo picking.

40:22-45:48
FANGE (France)
À La Racine
— Touch industrial rhythmic blasts mixed with death vocals, cool 70's horror movie sounds, and massive headchurning riffs.  

46:37-53:07
ISOLE (Sweden)
Open Your Mind
— Doom with soaring vocals amid massive slabs of guitar harmonizing emotion.  

53:30-END
SUOTANA (Finland)
The Ancient
— Epic folk black metal with a high-pitched shriek of a demon vocal.
