Eternal Storm - Come The Tide
|
When this got advertised as "Death Metal" on Transcending Obscurity's Bandcamp page, I never expected it to be melodic death metal. Neither did I expect to be so moved by a melodic death metal debut in 2019. Read more ›› |

Atlantean Kodex - The Course Of Empire

October Tide - In Splendor Below

Fredrik Norrman's pet project is back again with another solid effort. Did October Tide finally release an album worthy of comparison to Rain Without End? Read more ›› |

Weeping Sores - False Confession
