4th album by The Secret. The hardcore-infused, nihilistic black metallers return with another album that is even more chaotic, noisy and ferocious than its predecessor. The band delivers frantic tempos, ripping riffs and piercing screams and easily can go from some storming black metal to some filthy, crusty sludge without ever loosing intensity.

2nd album by Mastic Scum, that came 3 years after their debut. The songs are thick in sound but go from groovy hardcore riffs to blasts to rock n roll parts. It stands at a higher lever compared to 'Zero'. Though this is not visible in the maybe faster tempo, that possibly has been reduced,  but the higher quality of the sound, which seems to be more mature than ever and these songs get even more impressive if the speed increases.

5th album by Lich King. The album is filled to the brim with unrelenting, unadulterated thrash metal, full of catchy riffs and choruses, blistering solos, fast-paced drums and high-pitched lead vocals. Along with the songwritting, Tom Martin's performance behind the mic is awesome. The production is crisp, clear and big.
