Prognan - Naši Životi Više Ne Postoje
8.2 - Excellent melo / pagan black over here. The voice doesn't seem to appeal everyone, but I think it fits the music perfectly. I particularly like how they manage to keep they riff ideas interesting through their songs by constantly evolving the arrangements supporting it. A very good album from start to finish, despite its length. |

Suotana - Ounas I
7.5 - Fun album that reminded me of Ulthima or Euphoreon. It felt even better on second listen. It does sound a bit cheesy at times though.. But still a good epic melodeath album. |

Cursebinder - Drifting
8.0 - Excellent drumming on this one! I don't even really know how to describe it, the grooves, the fills, the sound texture, everything feels perfect. Definitely the heart of the music for me, but the whole album is great from start to finish. |

Сiemra - The Tread of Darkness
7.4 - Really like the slow and hypnotic atmosphere on this one. We need some black metal that's not going 100km/h once in a while. |

Green Yeti - Necropolitan
I love the sound of the bass on that record. It somehow feels like we hear the strings more than usual. Good and varied record overall, I like the different singing style that make the whole album remain interesting. |

Polar - Everywhere, Everything
7.5 - Albeit not very original, this is top Metalcore to me. Way too many bands overuse cleans or fall on the pop side of things for my taste, Polar manage to remain darker, and do not user much cleans, but rather a slightly harsher version of them for the choruses. This plugs the hole Architects left in my library in the recent years. |

Katatonia - Sky Void Of Stars
7.9 I wasn't expecting this new Katatonia to be that good. It got me from the first riffs. It confirms the trajectory of Katatonia being more and more rock, though it still have very pleasant moments of heavyness here and there. Overall very nice and soothing atmosphere. |
