Revocation
Empire of the Obscene
Metal Blade Records
This band is just soo good… Crazy to think this album is their first as Revocation, the production is so crisp, it’s got brutality, technicality, thrashitality, catchitality, and yeah awesomeitality.  I don’t normally like to add reissues, but this one is worthy!

Kobra and the Lotus
“Remember Me”/”Zombie” (Single)
Titan
“Remember Me” is kind of a ballad/depressing slow track, not really for the Mosh Pit… “Zombie” on the other hand more than makes up for it.  Catchy groovin’ track with lots of hooks and good stuff.

Doll Skin
In Your Face
EMP
Female fronted hard rock.  Catchy tracks, but really not pushing into the metal realm too far.

Aftermath
Killing The Future
Divebomb
A remaster of an early album of this early thrash band’s album.  A good wall of sorta punk fueled raw thrash.  Good stuff

Myka Relocate
The Young Souls
Razor And Tie
This is one of those bands that on the surface and in the beginning sounds good and heavy/brutal, but gets to the chorus and takes a big turn towards singy emo-mall core, which might be good for some folks, but not for the folks that do this radio show.  Sigh.

Devil You Know
They Bleed Red
Nuclear Blast Entertainment
Just full on brutal metal.  Not death metal or black metal, just heavy stuff with a pinch of djent and some melodic stuff, so I guess generally I’d call it some decente melodic death

The Novelists
Souvenirs
Metalville Records
A catchy metalcore type thing, good technical proggy stuff along with enough heaviness to keep it cool.

With Our Arms To The Sun
A Far Away Wonder
Fade To Silence Records
Stoner/doom/ambient type stuff, maybe a bit of prog rock too.

From Hell
The Walking dead (Single)
Scourge Records
Just a re-release of this single for Halloween time!  Brutal!

Mammoth Storm
Fornjot
Napalm Records
Doomy stoner metal with more doom than stoner and more doom than metal too. Some long long songs with some drony riffage.

Ritual
Ritual
Bullet Tooth
Screamy metalcore type stuff.  Aggressive, in your face and somewhat technical too.

HERSCHER
Herscher
Self-Release
Drony doom metal

Bevar Sea
Invoke the Bizarre
Self-Release
Stoner doom metal which gets into a little heavier stuff in parts… but mostly a good down tempo metal with some groove.

Hautajaisyö
Hautajaisyö
Inverse
Melodic death, a good catchy thrashing groove with some growly death vox but also with some clean sung stuff.

Christ Agony
Black Blood
Witching Hour productions
Melodic blackened death metal.  Heavy, melodic yet brutal.  Only a 3 song EP, but it’s some good stuff!

O.S.I.R.I.S.
The Conquest of Planet Death – Vol 2
Tyrannus
Atmospheric depressing basic black metal.  vocals are more or less spoken growled word.  No thanks.

Pathologic Noise
Gore Aberration
Greyhaze Records
Good old fashioned brutal death metal with no fucking around.  Some cool solos and just classic good stuff.

POLICE STATE
Mind Collapse
Grimoire Records
Brutal sounding death metal, with a bit of a black metal feel… but also a classic hardcore metal thing going on too… neat mix of stuff that works!

Blynd
Liber Sum
Pitch Black Records
Heavy, melodic Lamb of God-like metal.  Catchy riffs, abrasive vox and a good groove.

Helmsplitter + The Communion –
Great Violence And Hidden Depths Split CD
Horror Pain Gore Death
Helmsplitter is decent brutal death metal, The Communion is some raw thrashy black metal

Pessimist
Slaughtering the Faithful [reissue]
Obscure Musick
Reissue of the 2002 album.  Good brutal death metal!

Kill The Thrill
1989
Atypeek Music
The sound is a little bit like it’s from 1989, it has some industrial alt. rock sound (vocally) but musically it has flourishes of metal/punk type stuff, but the poppy stuff kinda cancels it out.

ONELEGMAN
Do You Really Think This World Was Made for You?
Buil2Kill Records
First impressions, it’s a bit like a Dog Fashion Disco.  Kind of a melodic alternative metal type thing.

Love N War
Up The Annie
Self Released (Online Metal Promo)
A hard rock hair metal sounding thing.  Good n catchy with a little bit of an edge.  Works pretty good.

VIGILANCE
HOUNDS OF MEGIDDO
WITCHES BREW
Some pretty cool melodic death type stuff.  While mostly just death metal, there’s some cool melodic and kinda proggy stuff going on.

SECOND TO SUN
The First Chapter
Self Released
Melodic doomy and proggy metal with a pinch of black metal… and what’s cool about it?  No vox!

Il Vuoto
Weakness
Label: Satanarsa Records
Funeral doom.  Depressing blackened doom stuff.  Too depressing for me!

Queen Elephantine
Omen
Atypeek Music
Psychedelic Doom / Drone… meh.

Pantera
History of Hostility
Rhino
A greatest hits type thing coming out in Dec.  Just in time for Christmas!  Any new reissue or greatest hits is a good excuse to break out some old Pantera!

I Mother Earth
Blossom
Upperleftside Music / RPMpromotion
Melodic alternative rock… back in the day these guys may have been a bit more… um ok, but now?  Probably not good for the ol Mosh Pit.

RAPTURE
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
WITCHES BREW
Thrashy death metal.  Great stuff.  Catchy fast riffs, a sense of brutality, but without getting into full on death metal.
