TRAP THEM
Blissfucker
Prosthetic
Heavy, grindy, stoner metal with attitude. Big wall of metallic riffs and intense drumming with screamed, pissed off vocals.

HEAVY GLOW
Pearls and Swine and Everything Fine
Purge
A catchy Clutch-like stoner metal thing, not really all that heavy, but fun and jammin’.

BROTHER FIRETRIBE
Diamond in the Firepit
Spinefarm
Old school AOR type hard rock from Nightwish Guitarist Emppu Vuorinen.  Kind of a power-metal “light”  Reminds me of some of that 90’s hard rock from like Honeymoon Suite or Damn Yankees or stuff like that.  While it’s pretty neat stuff, probably not Mosh Pit material.

Voyager
Voyager
IAV/Nightmare Records
Proggy hard rock/metal with djent stuff and more of a light, clean prog thing like Porcupine Tree or Fair to Midland/Karnivool type stuff. Maybe a pinch of a Volbeat sound too.

Bury Tomorrow
Runes
Nuclear Blast USA
Sort of a metalcore thing… you have that heavier, brutal stuff, then you hit the chorus… it’s actually where you expect some whiney auto-tune vocals and it’s just nice, well sung clean vocals.  Heavy stuff stays brutal and growly with chunky thrashy riffs.  Overall, it’s a melodic metalcore thing. good stuff.

Dust Bolt
Awake The Riot
Napalm Records
Thrashy metal.  Main guitar riffs are a bit like some Hanneman-esque Slayer sounding stuff. The rest of the music and vocals are some cool throwback, yet modern-ish thrashy stuff.

Swarþ
Omines Pestilentiae DLP
Iron Bonehead
A low-production-ish old school black/death metal.  Lots of creepy yelling and screaming, sludgey music.

Opium Warlords
Taste My Sword Of Understanding
Svart Records
Long sludgey post-metal.

Vanhelga
Längtan
Art of Propaganda
Experimental ecclectic stuff which makes you think while listening… “is this music?”  “do I have something else playing in the background?”  I mean some parts have some neat stuff, but with so much happening and to wonder WTF… yeah, meh.

Demonic Rage
Venomous Wine From Putrid Bodies LP
Iron Bonehead
Death metal.  Great heavy riffage, just an overall evil dark feeling too.  But classic brutal death metal.

Hard Riot
The Blackened Heart
Pitch Black Records
A hard rock band with a bit of a 90’s hard rock/metal sound. Clean vocals, melodic stuff, catchy, almost sing-along songs.

Deus Ignotus
Procession of an Old Religion MCD
Forever Plagued
Kind of a basic black/death metal.  Very brutal, everything kind of mooshes together, but it all works as a grindy/sludgey black metal.

On Top
Top To Bottom CD
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions
Vocals remind me of Death Angel, music is more of a Steel Panther type thing, a fun catchy hard rock.  Overall a catchy classic metal sounding EP.

Waxen
Agios Holokauston
Moribund
Intense fast, heavy black metal.  Nothing fancy, just brutal black metal.

BLOODY HAMMERS
Under Satan’s Sun
Napalm Records
A melodic hard rock thing with a little bit of a stoner metal vibe.

The Osiris Club
Blazing World
Indie Recordings
Kind of a creepy, alternative proggy hard rock thing. A throwback 70’s stoner metal vibe, but also a little bit of a horror movie soundtrack vibe too.
