Mutoid Man
Bleeder
Sargent House
A project with a guy from Cave In and one from Converge… this thing is hard to describe aside from just being some kick ass metal.  Melodic in parts, maybe a heavy stoner metal vibe… catchy, maybe proggy and Mastodon-like in parts, but with all clean vox.  It’s pretty cool stuff.

Grindy death metal

LOCRIAN
Infinite Dissolution

Doomy drony black metal

Year of The Goat
The Unspeakable
Napalm Records
Kind of a creepy doom but a maybe with some Muse-like clean vocals. Music is leaning more towards rock, maybe prog rock

Sonick Plague
Sonick Plague
Pavement Music
Catchy old school trash sound with maybe a pinch of punk.

Symphony-X
Underworld
Nuclear Blast USA
Hard for me to be toooo objective with this band as I’m a pretty big fan.  I do have to say with the other stuff that Russel Allen has sung on lately, I was a bit worried that he’d be too growly on this one (don’t get me wrong, I love growly vox), but Russell Allen is the voice of this band and he’s back to his old self.  The music is top notch prog metal and I’m happy with it.

BLASPHEMIC CRUELTY
Crucible of the Infernum
Hells Headbangers
This is some heavy brutal blackened death metal with a pinch of thrash and a dash of grind. This is heavy as hell, brutal and only 4 tracks.  more please!

Your standard death metal with some black metal tendencies here and there… but overall, just some decent raw death metal.

Big screamy voice power metal.  Some cool heavier stuff going on, but really just more into the prog metal realm, and not into anything brutal

Some good old standard quality death metal.  yeah!

Deathwhite

Some classic melodic metal, nothing too heavy, nothing really too light.  Clean vox, maybe a little doomy stylistically, but overall, an ok metal album.

Tengger Cavalry / Nine Treasures / Ego Fall
Mongol Metal
Mongol Metal
Most of this is a bit folk sounding… from all three bands on this sampler… a pretty neat mix.  A sort of mongolian metal thing going on.

ILLNESS
TRvMNA
Black Plague Records / Metallic Media
Sounds like black metal with a drum machine.  They call them selves “Black Schizophrenic Metal”  and yeah… there’s a lot of keyboard/drum machine going on.

Proll Guns
Fucking Trouble Maker (Digital)
NRT – Records
Some melodic thrashy groove metal from Austria

Victor Love
The Network

Sounds like Mindless Self Indulgence with maybe a guitar or two and a casio keyboard.

Well I would HOPE this band wouldn’t DRONE on, but it IS their name… so yeah, it’s drony blackened doom.

Matalobos
Matalobos EP
Label: Inductive Oppression Records
Melodic doom metal from Mexico, 3 song ep, there’s a pretty decent edge to it  which pushes it a little bit into the death metal area.
