Holocaust - Elder Gods
|
Some bands are destined to remain obscure despite their influential and pioneering sound. In the case of Holocaust, songs of theirs have been covered by the likes of Metallica, Gamma Ray, Six Feet Under, and even the Meat Puppets, yet I am sure that many of you reading this review have never heard of them.

Abyssal - A Beacon In The Husk
|
In a sea of unoriginal, serviceable but nonetheless great OSDM, bands like Abyssal really know how to stick out. Read more ›› |

Sacred Reich - Awakening
|
Another thrash band from the '80s decides to unleash a new album in 2019 after decades of musical drought. It's officially becoming an epidemic and I have to ask myself: is it really necessary? Well, in this case it is. Read more ›› |

Tomb Mold - Planetary Clairvoyance
|
I reviewed a lot of OSDM albums in 2018. For some reason, I decided not to review Tomb Mold's Manor Of Infinite Forms. It got nominated for Best Death Metal Album in our awards. So I guess now it's time to right some wrongs. Read more ›› |

Celestial Grave - Secular Flesh
|
At this point it should come to no surprise that music from Finland evokes sorrow. Such is the case with black metal as well. Read more ›› |

Neoandertals - Neanderthal Parallax
|
Brute force with intricate thoughts put into it. This two-sided concept is what makes Neoandertals the brilliantly puzzling yet undeniably simple band ready to bash your skull in with a club. Read more ›› |

Wormwood - Nattarvet
|
If you have read my review of Ghostlands - Wounds From A Bleeding Earth, you can imagine how quick I was to grab Nattarvet from the stack of promos waiting to be reviewed. Wormwood's second full-length offering is different from their debut that topped my 2017 list of favourites and also won two categories in that year's Metal Storm Awards by a landslide, yet you can easily still tell it is the same band behind the heaps of inspiration and songwriting brilliance of both records.

Three long epics of riff-heavy USBM (and a postlude) from a Gilead Media band. And also look at that cover art. Get on fucking board. Read more ›› |

Spirit Adrift - Divided By Darkness
