Doomocracy - Unorthodox
Review by tominator

6.7

Stuck in one gear... Unorthodox is ok, but lacks depth, variety and imagination.

Djevel - Naa Skrider Natten Sort
Review by AndyMetalFreak

8.6

Djevel are a Norwegian black metal project that have managed to retain an underground presence for quite some time now, and it saddens me when such bands go unheard of in the wide metal world for a particular length of time, especially when it comes to releasing top-quality black metal material such as this. So here's Djevel's eighth release, Naa Skrider Natten Sort, and well, what an album we truly have here!

Judicator - The Majesty Of Decay
Review by AndyMetalFreak

7.7

The Majesty Of Decay is Judicator's sixth release, and I have to say, judging by the quality of this release, there is no clear indication that this band will be letting their feet off the power pedestal anytime soon. Over the last decade, Judicator have proven to be a modern day force (by U.S. power metal standards at least), doing so by keeping their very genre's traditions alive and well, whilst incorporating their own style and image to satisfy the needs of U.S. power-crazy fans.

Elder - Innate Passage
Review by musclassia

8.6

Omens was an album about which I had genuine reservations over certain features, and yet I ended up calling it my 2020 Album Of The Year; that is the kind of sheer talent we are dealing with in Elder, and Innate Passage further exemplifies this.

Menace Ruine - Nekyia
Review by X-Ray Rod

8.7

The sky has turned grey. The soil has dressed itself with a coat of leaves. Autumn comes in full swing and Nekyia is the soundtrack to Nature’s funeral march.

Exhumed - To The Dead
Review by AndyMetalFreak

7.5

If you happen to be familiar with the bloodthirsty deathgrind act Exhumed, you should know what to expect from them by now. This is a band that has always provided some solid deathgrind material, with uncanny influences from their more than likely idols Carcass, and this tenth release, To The Dead, is no exception. This is yet another disgustingly good album in their catalogue of blood-soaked releases.

Ofdrykkja - After The Storm
Review by Netzach

8.0

Add Ofdrykkja to the list of metal bands having opted to cut out their metal elements in favour of pure neofolk. Their depressive suicidal black metal origins are here audible mostly through the introspective, melancholic mood permeating these mostly acoustic Swedish folk-inspired songs. A good soundtrack to dark, snowy winter walks.
