I don't know German, but I'm pretty sure "freiheit macht frei" means "fuck you and your ears." This is death-infused, loud-n-noisy grind done all chunky-like and right.

Swedish death that's to-the-point, Entombedish, and stripped down, yet isn't overly simplistic and heard-it-before. It's unique stuff that isn't up its ass with the fact that it's unique.

It's stoner. It's got rolling guitars to rock your socks off. It's tripping. The Machine are second only to an out of body experience.
Need more convincing? Try the teaser here or better yet the full 12 minute track off the album here.

New and true Norwegian black metal. Got more evil sounding tunes to spare than most LPs manage to pack in to begin with.

Everything bleak and awful in the world beautifully compiled into more than two hours of torturous melancholy.

Whiskey and beer drenched hard rawk party tunes with plenty of balls and swagger. Party on.

Maybe, maybe, more accessible than their previous two offerings, yet still completely unique, A Forest Of Stars didn't disappoint at all with this new gem of an album.

Take a drink. Another French black metal band, another great release. Not as wistful as Alcest, not as out there as Deathspell Aus Nord, this is closer to good old raging and dissonant black metal. A release worth looking into.

This is nothing but brass tacks, to the point, down your pint, grab-your-pool-stick-and-start-smacking-people-with-it straight-forward DM.

Black Pyramid's II is a happy trippy fun stoner doom jam record reminiscent at times of some of Cathedral's groovier, more upbeat tunes.

Not reinventing any wheels here, just a wide variety of different takes on melodic-extreme metal combined into a homogenous, well executed mixture.

Whoa! Where did this come from?!
What In The Silence have managed to achieve with this, their self-financed & independently released debut is nothing short of remarkable. The beautiful yet haunting atmosphere, intricate songwriting & talented musicianship displayed throughout this album will leave you spellbound. This may well just be one of the best debut albums of the year. A must for all fans of progressive metal.
Go check them out.
