GATECREEPER
Sonoran Depravation
Relapse
Relapse was starting to worry me there for a while.  All I’ve been getting is keyboardy synth stuff and post-metal.  Well, faith is restored.  Good old school death metal here. Big Riffs and big grooves.

The Dillinger Escape Plan
Dissociation
Party Smasher
Never been a huge fan, but I respect these guys.  Techny screamy type stuff, actually there’s some proggy math stuff going on too too.

Red Fang
Only Ghosts
Relapse
A sort of stoner metal, a little doomy, a good catchy edge too.

Killer Bee
Eye In The Sky
Self-Released
Modern hard rock… Kind of like a new-modern day Guns n Roses feeling going on.

Darke Complex
Point Oblivion
Spinefarm
Modern melodic metal.  Kind of a nu-metal feel.  Catchy and some heavy moments, but maybe just a bit too pop-metal for us?

Wovenwar
Honor Is Dead
Metal Blade Records
Another modern metal thing.  Melodic hardcore /metalcore type stuff.  Clean vox, got some screams and clean vox.  It’s almost like as if Sevendust were to come out today… they’d sound like this.

Take Over And Destroy
Take Over And Destroy
Prosthetic Records
Melodic doom with a little throwback to some 70’s hard rock.  Good melodic catchy parts

GLENN HUGHES

Big full hard rockin’ sound.  This guy has been around forever and still brings it full on with such smooth vox too.

FLAYED
XI Million
Kaotoxin
A bluesy hard rockin’ thing, keyboard/organ heavy, but catchy big meaty sound (not metal though)

The Devil Wears Prada

Another band that I’m not a huge fan of, but they’re pretty good at what they do.  More melodic modern metalcore type stuff.

Sort of a power metal thing.  Melodic hard rock/power metal feel. Keyboard heavy, good metal edged guitars.

A bit doom, and a bit melodic metal and prog too. Has some Ghost throwback catchy vibe.

VAREGO
Epoch

We’re on a roll here with some sludgey doom.  Just a lot of big slow downtempo stuff.

Suicidal Tendencies
World Gone Mad
Suicidal/INgrooves
So, ST is back… and with a new famous drummer in Dave Lombardo.  So far, classic grooving ST.  A little punk feel, lots of groove and pretty heavy in parts too.

Auras
Heliospectrum
eOne
A djenty prog groove metal band, a lot like Meshuggah, but maybe a bit more proggy and dare I say interesting?

Korn
“A Different World (feat. Corey Taylor)” [single]
Roadrunner
Korn has kind of renewed their sound back to, well, their old sound.  Big meaty and bouncy grooves… this song has Corey Taylor doing some screams too

Dayshell
Nexus
Spinefarm
Melodic kinda proggy modern metal.  A little nu-metal/Deftones sound meets something like a Fair to Midland type band.

Kyng
Breathe In The Water
Razor&Tie
Band that seems to just do all the right stuff, a kind of stoner metal, big meaty grooves and melodies, while keeping a heavy edge too.  Great stuff.

The Last Ten Seconds of Life
The Violent Sound
Seige Music
Meaty deathy metalcore…brutalcore?  Some slipknot meets korn type stuff too.

Grabiel And The Apocalypse
The Ghost Parade
Pavement Music
Female fronted rock, a little throwback, a bit just straightforward hard rock or “solid rock”

Meshuggah
The Violent Sleep Of Reason
Label: Nuclear Blast Records
Four years since their last album.  Often imitated, but never duplicated, Meshuggah pretty much started their own genre and it’s nice when a band that does that is still around to do their own thing.  This is classic Meshuggah, heavy, techy, and some longer tracks too… (

Candiria
While They Were Sleeping
Metal Blade Records
Technical, extreme and jazzy all in one.  It’s just like Meshuggah, they kind of invented their own genre and do it well!

SKÁLMÖLD
Vögguvísur Yggdrasils
Napalm Records
Catchy melodic death with a big groove too.  A little viking metal feeling too.

VPAAHSALBROX
14 Sovereign
Pale Horse Recordings
Old school raw blackened screamy metal.  production is tinny and hollow.  kinda evil sounding.

Vanlade
Wayward Sons: Masters of Time (Vol. 1)”
Online Metal Promo
Lots of cool metal covers here, Baracuda, Bastille Day, Riding on the Wind

Solar Mass
Pseudomorphosis TAPE/CD/12″ MLP
Iron Bonehead
Released as a “tape”  so one 18 minute mp3 which is 5 tracks.  Kinda raw doom/black/death metal, a little groove… but the one track thing… meh.

Decomposed
Wither
Chaos Records
Death metal with a little doomy edge.  Heavy, brutal, but a big meaty groove too

NAAT
Naat
Argonauta Records
Doomy post metal, kinda like some laid back tool type music, but more spacy and atmospheric… and post-metal doom-like.

The Reticent
On the Eve of a Goodbye
Heaven & Hell Records
Some classic thrash/classic metal sound, then some death metal, and black metal, a cool mix of stuff all mushing together to make a dynamic proggy metal album.  Overall it’s more of a laid back prog rock thing with clean vox.

Kremlin
Kremlin
Svart Records
Laid back bluesy rock, maybe a bit proggy, spacy, definitely not metal.  So I’ll stop here.

John Wesley
a way you’ll never be
InsideOut
Some decent prog rock, a few tracks are a bit more upbeat and rockin’.  Mostly compareable to some like porcupine tree / spock’s beard type stuff.

Band: Project Theory
Album: Something Between Us
Label: Sliptrick records
Kind of a classic nu-metal sound going on here.  To think half of the mosh pit was probably stuff like this back in the day!  now?  Not so much.  It’s decent if you like this sort of stuff.   It’s got a nice catchy groove.

Mouth of Madness
Mouth of Madness TAPE
Iron Bonehead
Typically these “tape” releases are crap, but I still listen to everything that gets sent to me.  This is some good hard edged brutal death metal.  Big full sound, evil vox.  Good groove too.

Death Is Liberty
A Statement Darkness
Concorde Music Company
Kind of a melodic modern hard rock with a groove

Teksti-TV 666
1,2,3
Svart Records
Kind of sounds like surf punk a little bit.

REAPTER
Cymstics
Revalve Records
Proggy thrash metal, great catchy riffs, nice heavy edge… great stuff!

Sarcofago
Die Hard
Greyhaze Records
Sounds like something old school…extreme thrash, probably mastered from some old tape, as I can hear hiss and dropouts all over the place.  Music is good old school stuff, but the quality is a little lacking.

HANGING GARDEN
Hereafter EP (Metal / Rock)
Lifeforce
Proggy melodic metal, but with some Amorphis-like growly death metal parts too.  Cool stuff.

ENDALOK
Englaryk
Signal Rex
post metal and raw black metal… too atmospheric and out there for me.

Vultures Vengeance
Where The Time Dwelt In
Gates of Hell Records
Classic metal sound.  A little melodic, thrashy and just decent stuff.

Illyrian
Round 2: Fight!
Self-Release (Asher)
A little thrash, a little black metal.  Lots of catchy riffs, great edge and a great headbanger

Underwater Sleeping Society
Instrumental Healthcare
Svart Records
Laid back and chilled out proggy rock

Narthraal
Chainsaw Killing Spree
Inverse
Two tracks of brutal grooving death metal

RITI OCCULTI
Tetragrammaton
Triton’s Orbit
Doomy and maybe a bit experimental with a proggy epic and creepy feel.

Ur Draugr / Haar
Haar / Ur Draugr
ATMF
Haar is some good evil black metal (with good production too)  and the Ur Draugr is one 19+ minute track of brutal blackened death metal, both are pretty good (i normally don’t like split eps either!)

Skogen
Svitjod
Nordvis Produktion
Doomy black metal, a little bit post metal, but a bit classic metal too

ATARAXIA
Deep Blue Firnament
Sleaszy Rider
Ambient melodic doom

Release: Somehow Jo! – Go with the Jo
Format: Digital single
Record label: Inverse Records
So, this one track had a pop/alt metal feel to start, but was catchy enough to keep listening, maybe a little SOAD feel… then it built up and got heavier and heavier, then back to just a neat bouncy riff.

Vengince
Against the Tide
Unable Records
Indie type death metal band.  This is full on headbanging grooving melodic death metal

WOLF COUNSEL
Ironclad
Label:  Czar Of Bullets
Big meaty classic doom/stoner metal

Black Dreams
Soul Stealer (single)
Inverse
Grooving classic metal, a little goth with a hard rock thing going on.

SPIRITUAL SICKNESS
“Spiritual Sickness”  EP Reissue
Online Metal Promo
Kind of melodic death, but with clean vox, so a proggy power metal thing?

SURVIVE
RR7349
Relapse
Relapse records… yer killin’ me.  More dark synthy “metal?”  not even.

Metallica
Moth Into Flame
Another new instant classic thrashy metallica song!

PESSIMIST (GErmany)
Call To War
Label:  MDD Records
Not to be confused with the US Death Metal Band… this one is a classic thrash outfit from Germany who’ve been around since 2006.  Great catchy old school thrash
