BLACK ANVIL
As Was
Relapse
Kind of a classic black metal with modern production, a little pinch of a doom darkness, but overall a solid black metal groove going on.

KXM
Scatterbrain (Single)
RatPak Records
Ray Luzier, George Lynch, Doug Pinnick.  that should be enough to say right there.  This is the first single from their second album.  Cool stuff, proggy, catchy and grooving.

Code Orange
Forever
Roadrunner
Female fronted deathcore.  Brutal and meaty.  Breakdowns, maybe a little bit of a punk feel too.

Lo-Pan
In Tensions
Aqualamb
Almost a stoner metal type thing.  A little bit of a Tool feel… so a stoner tool type band.  Good stuff, good melodic hooks, solid hard rock stuff… just not really into the brutal metal thing ya know?  Yeah, and that’s ok.

Darkest Hour
“Knife In The Safe” / “Timeless Numbers” [Singles}
Southern Lord
Agressive abrasive and no fucking around.  brutal core type stuf with a little tech edge to it.

HI-TECH HATE
THE AMERICAN WAY
New Ocean Media
A little bit of a static X feeling, with a hard rocking metal type thing with some electronic stuff thrown in.  Heavy parts, catchy stuff, some more melodic parts too… Kind of a full package.  A bit on the commercial side of things though.

Six Feet Under
Sacrificial Kill – radio single
Metal Blade
Big meaty grooves, classic SFU here.  Great production and the new lineup is still crushing it.  Cant wait for more.

EX DEO – Radio Promo
The Rise Of Hannibal
Napalm Records
First single from the Kataklysm side project.  Symphonic death metal, a little on the doomier groove side of things for this track.  Looking forward to more.

Enemy Remains
No Faith In Humanity
Independent
Kind of starts off with a melodic death feel, but then really gets into more of a modern metalcore / Killswitch Engage type thing, clean and harsh vox alternating. Some cool catchy stuff and maybe a bit of a commercial metal feel too

Snaggletooth

A true tribute to Lemmy… Lots of bands doing Motorhead covers in mostly their own style.   Good lineup from Destruction to Overkill to Ugly Kid Joe to Korpiklaani.

Kind of a deathcore with a little bit of doomy sludge.  It is brutal and heavy a little grindy and melodic too.  neat stuff!

Album: Black Serpent Rising
Label: Drakkar productions
Kind of a melodic death similar to Amon Amarth.  A heavy catchy groove but a dark feeling too

Proggy power metal from Italy.  Clean vox, a basic prog metal music thing, with more of a power metal feel.  Decent stuff.

Firewind
Immortals
AFM Records
This band has been doing its thing for quite some time and great to have a new one!  This is how power metal should be… catchy, heavy, fast, a good edge and yeah a prog metal feel too.  Vox, music, production all top notch.

Album: Reborn
Label: NRT records
Style: Industrial Metal
A little industrial, a bit goth, and melodic death.  female clean vox and growly vox too… and yeah, a bit prog metal too.

Burning Point
The Blaze
AFM Records
This is some uptempo melodic power metal.  Heavy on the keyboards and catchy grooves.  Vox are female, but with a great gritty edge.

Nightmare
Dead Sun

Similar to the Burning Point, it’s some proggy power metal with some strong edgy female vox.  Music gets a good heavy groove going and staying melodic too.  good stuff.

Album: One Against All
Country: Italy
Label: Sliptrick records
I’m just going to go with their description here:  Style: NeroArgento is an explosive combination of grunge rock and electronic music, packed with orchestral influences mixed with acid, industrial and distorted sounds, without forgetting the metal edge that provides the sound with a more consistent impact

THE DRIP
The Haunting Fear of Inevitability
Relapse
Grindy and kind of thrashy-ish death metal.  B rutal, a little bit hardcore too.  Good stuff

Label:  Last Candle Productions
Atmospheric black metal… cold, depressing and echoey

25 Anos
Svart Records
A hardcore/punked up kind of almost death metal, great grooves, quick songs…. maybe some thrashcore type stuff.

THE UNGUIDED
Brotherhood
Napalm Records
Modern melodic death/metalcore type stuff.  The clean stuff is a bit more of the modern metalcore, but still not quite all like emo.  Just very clean going to the heavy abrasive stuff.  Kind of a good mix of things without going full mallcore.

Toke
Fifty Ton Nug
Horror Pain Gore Death
Good brutal classic death metal
