Exmortus
Ride Forth
Prosthetic Records
Catchy heavy and yeah, proggy too.  This is a mix of maybe Battlecross/Arsis/Skeletonwitch… yeah with more guitar virtuousity.  Great stuff, and already in 2016 a candidate for top of the year in just the first week!

Olathia
Hunters
Shred Foot Records
Kind of a melodic thrash… music is thrashy, vocals are clean and traditional metal-like.

Cauldron
In Ruin
The End Records
Edgy throwback stoner-ish metal.  Decent melodic hard rock stuff, catchy and cool.

Dissona
Paleopneumatic
Black & White Music
Sort of a proggy melodic symphonic and yes, industrial metal thing.  Parts of it musically have melodic death feel, but vocals are more folk/prog/power metal.

BLACKDEATH
Totentaz
Label: Heidens Hart Records
Old school black metal with “black metal popeye” style vocals

INSISION
Terminal Reckoning
Label: Sevared Records
Brutal death metal.  Good production and just a good classic groovin’ death metal thing going on

VISIONS OF THE NIGHT
Visions of the Night vs.ReMechanized
Label: Self-Released
Some sort of industrial/electronic-ized black/death metal.  a bit too weird for my tastes

BODE PRETO
Mystic Massacre
Iron Tyrant
Blackened thrash, heavy wall of sound brutal sound

Far From Alaska
modeHuman
(DeckDisc)
Female fronted hard rock with a bluesy thing, pretty catchy and decent, just not mosh pit material.

Pile of Priests
Void to Enlightenment
Label: Self-released
Progressive Death metal, a bit raw, but some cool stuff going on, good solos, some brutality and meat and potatoes death metal.

OVERDOZE
Supreme Dosage
Label: Cabin Blade Records
A basic thrashy thing with vox that seem sort of “punk” to me.  not too bad.

SHARKY SHARKY
Super Awsome Mega Rock
Label: Self Released
This might be one of the weirdest things sent this way… Shark themed kids rock music… more like an alt-rock thing, but this might be a go-to for a laugh.

Flames of Fury
Flames of Fury (2013 – reissued)
Self Released
Femaled fronted hard rock/traditional classic metal.  A little bit thrashy, a little catchy and they have that “local band” feel… not that meh local band, but the GOOD local band. ya know?
