Wodensthrone - Curse
| Atmospheric black metal |
22.05.2012
|
Epic, enchanting, melodic, folk-infused atmo-black metal with uplifting melodies that benefit from the use of violins and acoustic work. Gives Loss a run for its money... Read review ››

Hour Of Penance - Sedition

19.04.2012

Honestly? Just go fucking nuts and break shit. But be quick - you've only got about a half-an-hour to tear it all down before this thing ends. Read review ››

Alrakis - Alpha Eri
| Atmospheric black metal |
15.01.2012
|
"Close your eyes, lean back; prepare yourself for liftoff. Rise out from your seat, through your ceiling, your roof, and into the sky above as Alrakis embraces you, freeing mind and body from this terrestrial realm. Soon, as you rise through the heavens, away from the reaches of the Earth, you begin a cosmic black metal journey not unlike that of Sun Of The Blind or Chaos Moon."

Remember when I was all "yo go hang yourself"?
Well apparently this guy did.

Colosseum - Chapter 3: Parasomnia
| Funeral doom metal |
04.06.2011
|
Perhaps the only thing more depressing than this album is that it's the last album Colosseum are going to release, due to the only other other thing perhaps more depressing than this album: Juhani Palomäki's tragic death.
And in case you were wondering - yes, Parasomnia is the epitome of bittersweet.

Wormrot - Dirge
Singapor...an, Singapor...ite... Wormrot, grindheads from Singapore! It's Abuse 2.0 baby, and it'll rock your socks off!
A word of advice: Try to blink between songs. And don't listen while playing Call of Duty unless you want to buy yourself a new TV. And a controller. Only you realize after that you're at a friend's place. In which case, leave this album behind to make up for the damages. They'll thank you later, because it's that good. Read review ››

Deafheaven - Roads To Judah
| Atmospheric black metal / shoegaze |
10.04.2011
|
Finally a worthwhile blackgaze album that doesn't feature Neige! Deafheaven's debut is as beautiful as it is barbaric, adding in some majestic post-metal ambience for the sake of a truly depressive, majestic journey. Highly recommended for fans of Alcest and company. Read review ››

Defeated Sanity - Chapters Of Repugnance
| Brutal death metal |
16.02.2011
|
Falling victim to the latest trend of picking albums that are totally irrelevant to the 2010 MS Awards, thus maintaining a strict level of professionalism and impartiality, I present to you one of 2010's strongest death metal releases.
Not that you should vote for it or anything.

Mitochondrion - Parasignosis
| Post-brutal death metal |
25.01.2011
|
Fulfilling my pledge to pick a non-black metal album in 2011, Canadian (hell ya!) death metallers Mitochondrion have made it easy with this mind-blowing release. Parasignosis contains some of the most crushing, complex riffs ever recorded and manages to mix in a surreal post-apocalyptic atmosphere. January or not, this album will most likely receive my vote for the year's best death metal opus.
Believe the hype baby - these guys are for real. Read review ››
