LORDS OF THE TRIDENT
Death Dealer (single)
Self Released
Great new single… first real new stuff with the Baron in the band. Excellent power metal, huge fans of these local guys, vox are top of the game. Great stuff!

Bury Tomorrow
Black Flame
Sony
Modern metalcore type stuff, melodic vox, shouted vox, some good grooves, doesn’t get totally mallcore in the chorus parts, some decent heavy breakdowns, could almost compare them to the newer in flames and a little Volbeat.

POUND OF FLESH
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS
DRAKERAVEN ENTERTAINMENT
A bit of an electronic/industrial hard rock.

Deafheaven
Ordinary Corrupt Human Love
Anti/Epitaph
One of those “it” bands…they do a lot of stuff other bands do, but for some reason this band clicks with a broader audience. A basic black metal sound, branching into melodic death and post-metal too.

SOREPTION.
King of Undisputed Nonsense (single)
Sumerian
Technical brutal death metal on sumerian records, so one may say it’s “sumerian-core” which is not a bad thing. Clean production, harsh vox, techy metalcore/deathcore type stuff. I’d like more please.

Six Feet Under
Unburied
Metal Blade Records
A collection of previously unreleased stuff and outtakes, production is a bit raw, but it’s cool to get some of the closet cleanin’s

Powerwolf
The Sacrament Of Sin
Napalm Records
Fast and heavy power metal, kind of like a dragonforce.

Kore Rozzik
Vengence Overdrive
Cleopatra Records
Seems kind of a metal rock opera, some skit stuff, and the songs are good crunchy modern metal. Catchy with some grooves…

As with his other releases, it’s good heavy, crunchy classic metal, production on this one is a bit more crisp than some of his older stuff. good metal here!

DEPTHS OF HATRED
Bloodguilt
Prosthetic Records
Kind of a brutal core / death metal… growly vox, then screamy vox, fast brutal metal

Survival
Murkin Hella Fools
NBRD Records
Kind of thrashy, and a bit electronic… the production is, well, weird. sounds like it was run through an mp3 converter about 300 times.

SKELETONWITCH
Devouring Radiant Light
Prosthetic Records
As always these guys put out good stuff… blackened thrashy stuff that’s heavy and catchy as all hell… They keep truckin’ on with even better stuff, maybe some added melodic stuff too..

Oxygen Destroyer
Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death

Kind of an extreme blackended thrash… Really fast thrashy stuff with a black metal vocal style. Headbanging thrash but the evil coldness of black metal great stuff!!

I, Voidhanger Records
This is kind of a melodic blackened death metal. Good grooves, a pinch of black metal dark/coldness, death metal grooves and heaviness. Great stuff.

Matalobos
Until Time Has Lost All Meaning
Concreto Records
BLackened doom in track one, a long 10 minute thing… track 2 is more of a fast melodic death/extreme thrash thing and track 3 is a short acoustic number.

II

Kind of a metalcore/brutalcore thing. Catchy, a little technical, melodic, shrieky vox, cookie monster vox and brutal too! Good stuff.

Below the Grief
Doomentia
Mostly black metal, but a bit of a grindy noisecore… a bit of a punk thing going on too.

PARASITE INC
Headfuck Rollercoaster
Reaper Entertainment (P)&(C)
A bit of a thrashy thing. Good metal edge, catchy riffs and music, harsh vox, maybe a bit like a Chimaira thing. Good stuff.

Wölfblood
Nightriders

A little bit of stoner metal, more like a heavier extreme stoner metal, but more full on just “metal” going on too.
