Bloodstrike - In Death We Rot

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This Colorado based band has a lot to offer here to the death metal scene. They’ve been around since 2013 and have a demo out, this one is their first full-length. They have a female vocalist, too. I’m always thrilled when there’s a newer death metal band out.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The act is another classic death met...

Slayer - Repentless #2

Still maintaining the thrash element, but here is 'God Hates Us All' revisited. Even that album I have more respect for than this, mainly because of Hanneman, but also because on both guitarist's fronts, their leads were still good. The rhythms on this one are along the same paths, with a tint of clean guitar pieces, though not much. I'm driving at...

In Flames - Siren Charms

While its great sales upon being first released, the critics mostly give it a big thumbs down. That may be because these guys changed or have changed their style of music since their beginning. It is no surprise Jesper left the band probably because of that reason, they wanted to diversify and he wanted them to be what they started as which is melo...

Six Feet Under - Crypt Of The Devil

To me, this album is above average, not the "same old, same old" from the band, they diversify. Most of the songs are moderately paced, thick heavy guitars, guttural throat, gruesome lyrics, leads that are ferocious and a production that's solid. I immediately got into this one big time because it's different, but in a good way. They maintain their...

Deicide - In the Minds Of Evil

My initial opinion was that this was a total "dud" compared to past releases, though after that original thought, I realized that yes this is the new generation of Deicide. It's actually one of their best in years. The reason is because the music on here is HEAVY and diverse. It features guitars that gallop in essence, also featuring bar chord mani...

Falconer - Black Moon Rising

Words of wisdom, trickling into the music that's quite ferocious and vocals that are so typical of Falconer, in a clean tone manner. This is a reflection of a band and album that's really not died or has not evolved. Falconer's creativity in the musical sense within this genre of folk metal seems to capture the listener because of its' utmost origi...

Arch Enemy - War Eternal

Definitely better than Khaos Legions without a doubt. Arch Enemy steps up with fury on here. Alissa sounds like a replica of Angela though with moderate variety. The music and intensity is strong and the compositions are reflecting of older AE, sticking to the core of melodic death metal. Nick, their new guitarist replacing the amazing Christopher...

Nausea - Condemned To The System

As much as I like the lyrics to this album, I think that the raw production sound made the sound kind of flat. This release is a mix of death metal combined with grindcore. This takes us back to the early days of hearing old Napalm Death via Lee Dorrian and old Carcass via Reek of Putrefaction. No surprise that Oscar Garcia (Terrorizer) is on guita...

Children Of Bodom - Hate Crew Deathroll

<div> <div> <div> <div>I've been a fan of the band's music for years now, but not so much their lyrical concepts. I'd say that aside from that, the music on this album really has turned into one of my favorites from the band.  Just everything was to me so complete on here and another one you can listen to repeatedly and never get tired of.  Each...

Psychopathic Daze - Ride This Bullet Home

I'm not a huge fan of metalcore so to speak, however, there are bands that play the particular genre and wind up baffling me. This band is one of them. Not that I'm overtly fond of all of the different changes in the vocal department, but the guitar riffs and overall intensity/vibe are totally there. I would have to say that I was totally impressed...

Warbringer - IV: Empires Collapse

A definite step up from their last 2 annoying releases, but still average due to production quality, unoriginality, alongside vocals that are quite annoying yet again. The rhythmic structures are more creative than the previous 2 albums, however, the production is such to where it seems like they recorded this in a garage, a tad bit up from that. T...

Soulfly - Savages

1st album that I've owned by this band, was interested because I figured that if it is Max Cavalera's band, they must be GOOD. Not to seem biased, but since he was the frontman for Sepultura alongside his brother for years, his own band I concluded I'd give it a try! I was not disappointed at all really and since the focus was on groove/thrash meta...
