LLNN - Unmaker
heavy as a hurricane, louder than a freight train. Absolutely a thing to experience alive and to headbang to and to burst out screaming with the crowd. |

Subsignal - A Poetry Of Rain
At first, comes denial (too melodic, too light, too pop, not intricate enough). With no anger it moves to bargaining with intention to listen as long as possible to enrich personal musical taste and to try to understand why does it matter. But on the part that starts with "Silver", it's already acceptance, curiousity and then it's "Embers Part II", yes, it's serenity. |

Asinhell - Impii Hora
Danish-German trio. Michael Poulsen (VOLBEAT), guitars + Morten Toft Hansen (RAUNCHY), drums + Marc Grewe (INSIDIOUS DISEASE, ex-MORGOTH), vocals. Sometimes you just need some old-school black metal. A very metal-festival-ish taste. Highlights: Inner Sancticide; Trophies; Impii Hora. |

Holy Fawn - Death Spells
("Glóandi 2023" like a pretext to relive Holy Fawn's Death Spells). Ambient. Atmoshperic. Dreamy. October-esque. Dark Stone, Drag Me Into Woods, Seer... just highlight them all. Two Waves like the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind''s OST with "Take Me With You" being ideal for "Life is Strange" with an amazing ending. |

Monosphere - Sentience
First impression is wrong. Chaotic. Hard to stay integrated with extreme vocals prevailng, other vocals part being incosistent with the whole impression. Feels like an overdoze with "hard" part. Highlights: Smoke & Wires, Living Flame. |

Of Mice & Men - Tether
Shiver: good drums part with an excellent tempo, but the vocals feel a little bit outdated as in an emo-band from 2010s. Eternal Pessimist: the beggining is doubtful like the logical extention to the previous track. But as soon as the guitars part starts the scene dramatically change. Extreme vocals work perfectly. Guitars & drums parts with tempo and style changes, especially on the last minute with sudden come back from that "vanishing" effect make to listen to the whole track attentively. Clean vocals are the only part that is hard to agree with from the first listening. |
