Dead Instrument - Violent Death
Denmark have brought us a bunch of Black Metal, Death Metal and Heavy Metal, but barely any Grindcore. Four men heeded our call and created a quartet so Violent even Death fears them.
Listen to the debut here.

The Algorithm - Polymorphic Code
| Electronic Djent-step? |
28.11.2012
|
Can't really describe this any better than Rémi Gallego himself so I'll just quote him on this...
"Imagine a mash up of electronica driven breakdowns, djent-y guitars, gut wrenching dub-step wobs and glitchy melodies all working together to fluidly pummel your head into the future."

Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day
An inspired live performance by one of the most important and influential rock bands of all time. A mandatory listen for anyone who claims to know anything about metal, or where metal comes from.
You don't neet to love it, but you need to know it.

Aluk Todolo - Occult Rock
| Psychedelic Noise Rock/Krautrock/Drone |
22.11.2012
|
Not strictly metal anymore. if they ever really were; their krautish, noisy interpretation of black metal seems to have been put on hold for the time being (aside from the first track; a black metal number), but this is arguably album of the year nonetheless. If you have any love of Skullflower's early droning, noise rock days and krautrock's trippy psychedelia then this should be right up your gasse.

Neosis - Neosis
For me this is the best band of the "djent movement". I love the vocals, the riffing, the atmosphere and especially the drumming is a big plus for me. Their drummer is insane how he goes back and forth between blinding speed fills and blasting to slower rhythmic grooving following the guitar and then right back into a blisteringly fast blast and roll.

Flourishing - Intersubjectivity
| Mind-Melting Grimy Death Metal With A Post-Hardcore Lick |
15.11.2012
|
Flourishing return to us once again with yet another exceptional and unique take on the death metal sound. Unapologetically caustic and acidic, Intersubjectivity is a meat grinder of angular riffs, scorched earthen rasps, dirty bass and muddy, incomprehensible drums all buried and distorted by a crusty, dense production. A twisted yet frighteningly calculated gem of the most dissonant nature.

After Oblivion - Stamina
| Technical Thrash/Death Metal |
13.11.2012
|
Are you a diehard Death fan? Have you found yourself wishing "Evil Chuck D" had never died so there were more albums after TSoP? Have you maybe thought to yourself it would be kinda nice if Death could find a "replacement" for Mr. Schuldiner (both vocally and instrumentally)? Well if so, then this is probably going to be your new favorite album in the last decade... \m/ Read review ››

Between The Buried And Me - The Parallax II: Future Sequence
| Progressive metalcore |
11.11.2012
|
Between The Buried And Me is a foreign entity. Their music is out of this world and these aliens keep up the good form with The Parallax II: Future Sequence. They really know how to make challenging prog, and what's better than a concept album? Expect the usual head-spinning craziness, mind-blowing sequences and crushing discharges. A truly unique voyage.

Noisear - Turbulent Resurgence
It's a lot like what I imagine "fighting" a UFC featherweight would be like. You'll get hit about 20 times before your mind can register the fact that you're being hit at all.

Karcius - The First Day
Karcius is a heavy sided fusion done just right. Now with vocals. They are absolutely great at what they do. Beautiful captivating music, no show-offs, The First Day is packed with good stuff.
Just listen to "The First Day" on their homepage.
