American Grim
Freakshow
eOne Music / Rocktagon Worldwide Music
American new metal.  Not quite old “nu-metal” but it’s kind of what it reminds me of.  Maybe a bit of a Marilyn Manson shock rock/metal sound… catchy commercial metal-ish sound.

Demon Hunter
Outlive
Solid State
A band that has been around for a while.  This album stays true to their sound, maybe kicking it into melodic death a tiny bit.  Metalcore, a tiny feel of nu-metal all while staying tried and true to Christian metal.  Catchy too!

Wolfheart
Tyhjyys
Spinefarm
Melodic death metal with a viking metal feel… so yeah, sounds like Amon Amarth and that’s a good thing, right?  Right.  This might be a bit more dark and heavy though too. Great stuff.

WINDSWEPT
Blinding and Bottomless Abyss Is Howling (Radio Promo)
Season of Mist
An old school black metal feel, with some brutal vox and heaviness…. but overall, some old school Mayhem-ish black metal.

Evocation
The Shadow Archetype
Metal Blade Records
Heavy melodic death from Sweden. They were around in the early 90’s. took a 12 year break and came back in 2005.  This is the first album in 5 years and it’s good stuff man.  A big freight train of death metal all while having a catchy melodic groove going on too.  Vox are harsh the whole time too.

Junius
Eternal Rituals for the Accretion of Light
Prosthetic Records
This is a bit doomy, a bit sludgey, a bit black metal, a bit grungy and noisy and a little post-metal too… and yeah, space rock and all this together fits a bit into prog, but noise-prog?

REPLACIRE
Do Not Deviate (Radio Promo)
Season of Mist
Tech death metal.  Good barking vox, lots of techy guitar and drum stuff going on.  Looking forward to the rest of this album!

DODECAHEDRON
HEXAHEDRON – Tilling The Human Soil (Radio Promo)
Season of Mist
Blackened death metal, a bit more on the melodic black metal side of things… but good stuff.

Within The Ruins
Halfway Human
Entertainment One
Djenty techy death/brutalcore metal Catchy and heavy… a bit thrashy too, if you don’t like the brutalcore djenty stuff, then this is probably not for you.  I like it.

Kill The Precedent
Some Version Of The Truth
Minus Head Records
Kind of hardcore…a little darker and maybe some thrashy stuff going on too

Havok
Conformicide
Century Media Records
These guys seem to do no wrong with catchy modern classic thrash.  Heavy, kind of technical, and just what nowaways, when someone says tell me a good new metal band…”Havoc” should be one of those answers.

BLACK MIRRORS
Funky Queen
Napalm Records
Female fronted classic doomy metal.  Maybe a bit sabbath-y.  Grooves and catchy all around.

Poison Rites
Poison Rites
self-released
Kind of a punked up southern fried stoner metal

Damnation Plan
Reality Illusion
Inverse
Melodic death metal that sounds a bit like Soilwork.  Good harsh parts, catchy and kind of technical and clean vox work well too. Great stuff!

Front Beast
Third Scourge From Darkness CD/LP
Iron Bonehead
Blackened doom.  Black metal and doom,  yeah.  haha.  A little creepy with that echoey/shouted screamed vox.  Music has more of a classic stoner doom feel, but with black metal speed in parts.

CELLADOR
Off The Grid
Scarlet Records
These guys dropped off the map for a while and they’re back!  Classic power metal type stuff, maybe a bit more Dragonforce-ish, and they’re orginally from Omaha… now from Denver.  Great to have these guys back and to have a band like this from the US!

Ghastly Sound
Ghastly Sound
Magnetic Eye
A little sludgey something-core.  I guess it’s a little hardcore/metalcore but with a sort of sludgey metal music base.

PH
Eternal Hayden
Svart
Slow sludgey post-metal.  Shoegaze, whatever.  I am not a fan of this type of music, so I can’t really say anything good.

ATLAS PAIN
What The Oak Left
Scarlet Records
Progressive Melodic death metal going on here.  Harsh vox with more or less prog/power metal music.  Pretty cool stuff!  Usually you get one or the other, harsh vox or proggy power metal, but to get both… cool stuff.  The vox are a little low in the mix though.

Black Cilice
Banished From Time CD/LP/TAPE
Iron Bonehead
Raw, old school low-fi black metal.

Band: Grave Plague
Album: The Infected Crypts
Label: Give Praise records / Redefining Darkness
Two songs of classic grindy death metal.

Lubricant
Swallow This
Svart Records
Kind of a raw old school death metal. This is a compilation of their early 90’s stuff.  Kind of a hard rocking death metal type thing.

Deathwhite
For a Black Tomorrow
Self-Release
Kind of a more gothy and doomy Tool type thing.  A bit mroe on the grungy metal side, but vocally and prog-wise, it’s a little Tool like, but not quite as grooving.

Lunar Shadow
Far from Light
Cruz Del Sur Music
Dual guitar attack reminiscent of Judas Priest, but the rest of it is kind of a doomy old school classic metal.  There’s a little raw feeling in the production, maybe a bit of a throwback “Ghost” feeling too. But then there’s some Iron Maiden feelings too!

Behind The Sun
Post Solis
Self-Release
melodic death, big grooves, progressive death metal. catchy, brutal, melodic, laid back too.  great stuff all around!

Temptation’s Wings
Skulthor Ebonblade
Self-Release
Catchy and grooving stoner metal type stuff, intricate guitar and instrumental work, a sludgey heavy edge to it, but not doomy and depressing.  good stuff.

Dunderbeist
“Tvilja” EP
Indie Recordings
Classic doomy hard rock from Norway, all sung in assumingly Norwegian… probably not for the Mosh Pit, but it’s decent laid back chilled out prog-ish rock.

Band: Nemus
Album: Wald – Mensch
Label: self-released
They call it “post black metal”  So yeah, I can hear that, a bit doomy and noise-ish, but a melodic black/doom-ish metal thing happening too.

Crucify the Faith
New Breed
Record label: Self released
Melodic Deathcore, a little bit of a “local band” feel.  The Music is cool, the screamy and growly vox are good, but the clean vox seem a bit dirty.  They aren’t emo or anything, it just seems like they should stick to the growls or screams.

HELLFIRE
Goat Revenge (EP)
Label: Witches Brew
A little bit of a classic death metal, but a bit of a black n roll thing going on too.  Production isn’t 100% crisp, but it’s still good… this has a good gritty pissed off sound to it.

KXM
Noises In The Sky
RatPak
The 3rd single to trickle out from this supergroup.  This one is mostly instrumental, a little bit prog, but a laid back rock track.

Nova Collective
The Further Side
Metal Blade Records
Instrumental prog metal/rock/jazz/fusion from Trioscapes/BTBAM members and Haken current and former members.  Probably the most prog instrumental stuff since Liquid Tension Experiment!

DISPERSE
Foreword
Season of Mist
Kind of an alternative prog type thing.  It’s got some Devin Townsend band type stuff going on, maybe some Tesseract type things too.  Heavy in spots, more ambient/spacy/melodic in others.  Overall it’s decent stuff, just not full on heavy.

SICOCIS
REQUIEM OF THE WORLD
M-THEORY AUDIO
A bit of a progressive death metal/melodic death type thing.  Some keyboards, death metal growls, clean vox, decent stuff.

HARK
Machinations
Season of Mist
Cool stoner metal, great grooves, probalby more stoner “hard rock” than metal… but I guess that’s the norm for the whole genre, right?

Power Trip
Nightmare Logic
Southern Lord
Actually put this out here last week, but a primary marketing firm threw it our way again, so I’ll just copy/paste what I said last week:  Ooohhh  we’re talking some classic heavy thrash here.  As far as thrash goes, this would be fast and not quite “brutal”  but speed metal style heavy!

Crystal Fairy
Crystal Fairy
Ipecac
Female fronted stoner-ish hard rock.  Decent edge and groove, vox are kind of a modern Janis Joplin sound.  There’s a cool energy

Zeal & Ardor
Devil Is Fine
ADA
This is one of those things it’s hard to put a finger on, but it’s definitely got its own sound and apparently it’s like kind of Ghost in that it’s all evil, but not typical in what you’d expect.  The write up (via Rolling Stone) that comes with it kind of helps a little:  “The creation of Swiss-American songwriter/soundscaper Manuel Gagneux, Devil Is Fine is an artistic artefact like no other, a meld of black metal, field recordings, Delta blues, jazz, ring shouts, music box melodies, glitchy hip-hop beats, soul and gospel, brought together in the service of The One With Horns. It is the most provocative, challenging, innovative and utterly individual album of the year, a recording which obliterates genre boundaries and creates a dark, diabolical universe all its own.”   So yeah, it might not be full on metal on the surface, but it’s definitely “metal”

The Bug vs. Earth
“Snakes vs. Rats” [Single]
Ninja Tune
Post-metal electronic noise

Body Count
No Lives Matter (Radio Edit Single)
Century Media Records
Just this one single so far, and it’s a radio edit… but it’s decent stuff, great metal edged rap just like Body Count can do.  And of course, there’s a message!

Emmure
Look At Yourself
SharpTone Records
This is some brutal core type stuff like they do, but one thing that’s not what I remember, it gets a bit rap-metal-ish in with the breakdowns and all that stuff.

ZOMBIE MOTORS WRECKING YARD
Supersonic Rock n Roll
Napalm Records
So when you hear this band name, what do you think it’d sound like?  Kind of a rob zombie southern fried catchy biker metal type thing?  yeah.  It sounds like that.  decent stuff.

Nick Douglas
Regenerations
Metalville Records
Kind of a pop rock type thing.  Nick is known for being Doro’s bass player.

Segregates
Burston
Cleopatra Records
Kind of a dirty hard rockin’ metal… maybe along the lines of a Motorhead type thing.  A little punked up, a bit metal, and raw.

The Mute Gods
Tardigrades Will Inherit the Earth
InsideOut
Prog Rock type stuff.  A bit along the lines of a Porcupine Tree.

Funeral Storm / Celestial Rite
Funeral Rite – split MCD/MLP
Iron Bonehead
Funeral Storm’s two tracks are a bit of a keyboardy black metal, and Celestial Rite is more of a classic cold yet btutal black metal… not all shreiky and tinny, this has a heavier growly groove.

Artist:    Sanctuary
Title:    SANCTUARY – Inception (Advance)
Label:    Century Media
SO, they say this is a long lost prequel album to Refuge Denied, and they worked some magic to make it sound new… well, magic it is.  Amazing how they can get something this old and lost to sound so crisp and like, brand new… And yeah, what a dream for a Sanctuary/Nevermore fan to find something… great classic sound and Warrell Dane just singing sky high!

Helion Prime
Helion Prime
AFM Records
Female fronted classic metal, maybe with a little power metal leaning.  Catchy tracks, mainly guitar based.  Decent melodies and just a decent sound

DOCTOR LIVINGSTONE
Triumphus Haeretici
Osmose Productions
The first track is 16 minutes of ambient post-metal noise.  Get to track 2 and the rest, we have some grindy black metal.

Manetheren
The End
Avantgarde Music
Classic doomy and dark black metal.

CRYPTIC BROOD
Brain Eater
Xtreem Music
Kind of grindy, a bit death metal, production is a bit raw and unpolished, but there’s a cool groove going on here

Bear Mace
Butchering the Colossus
Self-released
This is kind of a thrashy brutal technical death metal.  A great meaty driving beat… a little like cannibal corpse, but a bit more groove and technicality.  Good stuff.

Zombie Assault
Video Nasty
Eclectic Productions
Just a good ol classic brutal death metal.

Cataleptic
Forward
Archaic Sound
blackened doomy death metal.  A bit down tempo, depressing and some long songs.

Ymir’s Blood
Ymir’s Blood
Archaic Sound
Doomy throwback with some viking metal grooves going on.

Mindful Of Pripyat / Stench Of Profit
New Doomsday Orchestration
Everlasting Spew Records
Both bands are pretty good grindy brutal death metal.

Band: Katharos
Album: Exuvian Heraldry
Label: Sliptrick records

Band: Atreides
Album: Neopangea
Label: Suspiria records
Classic metal, spanish lyrics/vox, a little melodic death feeling and maybe a little prog/power metal too.  Lots going on, but the production is a bit raw… just not a very full sound…otherwise, decent stuff.

Bungler
The Nature of Being New
Innerstrength Records
Kind of a screamo metal core / hardcore.  Fast and raw, a little brutal,

A bit death metal and some grind.  This is some brutal death metal and as their name says, yeah, it’s a bit gore toO!

Disharmony (Greece)
Goddamn the Sun CD/LP
Iron Bonehead
Kind of a brutal death metal/thrash.  Catchy riffs, brutal vox and tone… catchy and a bit techy too

Desecrate the Faith
Unholy Infestation
Comatose Music
Classic brutal Death metal.  Cookie Monster, big meaty grooves
.
The Day Of The Beast
The Ultimate Cremation Pyre

This is more of a melodic death/technical death thing.  Melodic for the catchy riffs, but the vox are abrasively pissed off.  More of an At The Gates type sound.  great stuff.

Nord
Alpha
Inverse
Melodic doomy rock type stuff.  4 song EP.

SOLITARY
THE DISEASED HEART OF SOCIETY
LABEL: UKEM
Classic thrash type stuff.  Catchy, heavy, and goood.

Vorzug

Label: Rising Moon
A bit of a folk metal feel, but a good blackened melodic death type thing going on. Catchy and a bit proggy too

ELECTRIC AGE
Sleep of the Silent King

Carpatus
Malus Ascendant
Label: Black Lion Records

UNEARTHLY TRANCE
Stalking The Ghost
Relapse
Doomy metal with a stoner metal feel, a sludgey thing too

Edenbridge
The Great Momentum
SPV
Big epic proggy symphonic metal with female vox.

Solus Deus
The Plague
EMP
This band has former members of Chimaira, Bleed The Sky, Evanescence, Living Sacrifice.  Pretty much a death metal band with a classic brutal-ish sound and a big groove.  Decent stuff!

Cut Up
From Ear to Ear – radio single
Metal Blade Records
Just a single, but great classic brutal death metal.

Witherfall
Nocturnes and Requiems
Self Released
Last recorded release of our friend Adam Sagan.  The samples that were early released sounded great.  Technical proggy melodic death metal… but the vox I guess don’t really fit the death metal… so musically it’s “melodic death-ish” but really it’s something more along the lines of a Nevermore.  great stuff! Catchy, heavy and melodic too!

Six Feet Under
Torment
Metal Blade Records
These last few SFU albums have been pretty good with the new-ish lineup.  Music on this one is more brutal and heavy and less of a slower groove… the vox are barked out as only Chris Barnes can do.  Good stuff!

Metal Blade Records 35th Anniversary Tour
Radio Sampler
Metal Blade Records
A bunch of songs for bands on this tour to get us talking about it!   Whitechapel, Goatwhore, Cattle Decapitation, Allegaeon and Necromancing the Stone

Warseid
A New Land To Find
SoundAge Productions
One of the best local metal bands and they just keep getting better!  This one has a bit of an epic black metal thing while staying a bit in the melodic death thing too.  You can’t go wrong here.

Violent Opposition
Courage And Conviction
Horror Pain Gore Death
A LOT of less than one minute songs of punked up hardcore type stuff.

The Wild!
Wild At Heart
Entertainment One
Kind of a classic rock/southern hard rock thing.  (just one song so far) seems like fun lovin’ hard rock.

Thobbe Englund
Sould My Soul
Metalville Records
Former Sabaton guitarist’s solo project. Obviously good guitar work. this is textbook “classic metal” going on here.  The sound is a bit raw and a bit of a throwback to maybe some early 80’s / 70’s metal.

Suicide Silence
Suicide Silence
Nuclear Blast USA
A lot of talk around this new album and it’s new “direction” and yeah… as a flag bearer of the brutalcore/extreme metalcore scene… this is definitely not that.  A more downtempo melodic groove thing with more clean-ish vox.  This is closer to a Filter than anything else.  Sorry, but even on its own merits, this might just get a “meh” from me.

Immolation
Atonement
Nuclear Blast USA
well, you got yourself some great classic brutal death metal going on here.  This is what american death metal is all about.  Staying true to their formula.  Good stuff!

Ex Deo
The Immortal Wars
Napalm Records
This is 3rd album from the Kataklysm front man’s side project and it slays.  Great catchy and brutal and melodic with a bit of a symphonic flair filling in to make it feel more “epic”  great stuff, kind of technical in parts too.

Striker
Striker
Independent
another classic metal thing.  Heavy, catchy and big metal voice!

Torrefy
The Infinity Complex
Self-Release
PRetty cool extreme tech blackened melodic death.  A little bit of a thrashy gallup, but extreme and melodic death-ish… all with hints of black metal.

Helén
Helén
Svart Records
melodic folky doom type stuff.

Sons Ov Omega
Reign
Label: Black Lion Records
This is some cool proggy melodic death, kind of like that older pre-70’s prog Opeth.  Growly vox, melodic stuff, catchy… great stuff!

Antropomorphia
Sermon ov Wrath
Metal Blade Records
Two reviews in a row with the word “ov”  yeah!  That usually means brutal, right!?  Yeah, this is meaty brutal death metal with some big grooves.  good stuff.

IN THOUSAND LAKES
Age of Decay
Xtreem Music
Heavy melodic death metal, very comparable to Amon Amarth.  Get your horns up and headbang!

LEATHERMASK
LITHIC
SLEASZY RIDER
Classic metal, a tiny big thrash/grooving.

SCARVED
LODESTONE
SLEASZY RIDER
Female fronted hard rock.  Good catchy stuff, but really more on the hard rock side of things and not metal… maybe classic metal type stuff.

MIDNIGHT
Shox of Violence (12″ MLP, CD, TAPE)
Hells Headbangers
Raw classic dark metal / black/death metal type stuff… one man band.  Kind of like old Venom i guess?   Good stuff.

Demoncy
Within the Sylvan Realms of Frost LP
Nuclear War Now! Productions
Lo-fi old school black metal.  I had to check my speakers to make sure the bass/midrange was working, I think this is only tweeter material.  tedius to listen to.

Asofy
Nessun Luogo
Avantgarde Music
Doomy post metal… slow and depressing.

Reaping Asmodeia
Impuritize
Prosthetic Records
I’d have to say that this is a brutal-core melodic death sort of thing.  Technical, brutal, catchy too.  Good stuff!

ZOMBIE MOTORS WRECKING YARD
Supersonic Rock n Roll
Napalm Records
So when you hear this band name, what do you think it’d sound like?  Kind of a rob zombie southern fried catchy biker metal type thing?  yeah.  It sounds like that.  decent stuff.

Arduini / Balich
Dawn of Ages
Cruz Del Sur Music
I listened to the first 4:20 of this… and it was drony doomy post-metal… but then it just kicked into more of a stoner metal thing with some more big grooves and catchy licks.  So yeah, a long slow start, but a better pay off than I’m used to.  So, it’s a little bit like a lighter more doomy COC.

Mordbrand
Wilt
Carnal Records
Kind of a viking metal feel, but yeah… again, some good comparisons to Amon Amarth come up again, melodic death with a full meaty sound.

TREPID ELUCIDATION
Upcoming Reality”
Label:  Mosher Records
Technical Death metal, brutal, catchy and yeah, my go to word… grooving.  which means rather than a full just headbang, you get a little body movement too.  good stuff and classic death metal sounding too.

Spectral Descent
Descending The Astral Plane
Horror Pain Gore Death
Death metal, good classic groove kind.  Vox are a bit raw, production is ok… decent stuff.

Persefone
Aathma
ViciSolum Records
Progressive metal, then the vox kick in, and it’s more on the prog death/melodic death side of things… but yeah, very much into the technical prog world.  Great stuff.

Bathsheba
Servus
Svart Records
As with most stuff on this label, this is dooomy.  A bit on the black metal side, down tempo and female vox.  ok for what it is, but probably not for the mosh Pit.

Baxter Stockman
Haul
Ektro
I guess this could be called stoner hard rock. A little punky, but it’ ok.

Bloodbound
War Of Dragons
AFM Records
Ooooh, big epic power metal!  We just don’t get much of this anymore.  A little dragonforce, but kind of rhapsody-like too.  Good stuff!

Sainted Sinners
Sainted Sinner
El Puerto Records Gbr
Classic rock… kind of hard rock. lots of hammond organ, and a classic AOR type rock sound.

POWER TRIP
Nightmare Logic
Southern Lord / Earsplit PR
Ooohhh  we’re talking some classic heavy thrash here.  As far as thrash goes, this would be fast and not quite “brutal”  but speed metal style heavy!

Rückwater
Bonehead
Record label: Secret Entertainment
A bit of a hardcore groove metal/rock

GOATMOON
Stella Polaris (CD, LP, TAPE)
Werewolf Records
Classic black metal.  Cold, Evil but with that good headbanging groove.

Skogen
Eld
Nordvis Produktion
Classic black metal here too.  Decent stuff, a bit more brutal and death metal influenced in parts, but also pretty laid back and melodic in others.

FJOERGYN
Lucifer Es
Lifeforce
They call it Avantgarde Black Metal… it’s kind of like black metal but mix in some Rammstein (clean german vox) and it makes it a littel creepy but cool too.

Murkocet
Digging Mercy’s Grave
Self-Release
Catchy thrashy metal, kind of on the brutal side, growly vox, more of a melodic groove metal

Ominous Eclipse
The Horde (single)
Self-Release
One track of technical death metal.   one long track of tech death and it’s good stuff.

Event Horizon
A Nightmare of Symmetry
Self Released
Prog metal, a bit slow and acoustic-ish in parts, then it gets all technical and meedly guitar-like… also getting into some melodic death with growly vox too.

Achiote
Loneliness of Endless Days
Concorde
Prog rock with some organ/keyboards, a bit of a new Opeth type of sound.  Good catchy throwback vibe
