8th album by All Out War. This is All Out War’s most blackened album yet. While death, sludge, and black metal influences have regularly reared their ugly heads across albums, they’ve dived right in with the tremolo picking and blast beats interspersed with the NYHC breakdowns and aggression.

Debut album by Ὁπλίτης, a one-man post-black metal band from China. It contains 38 minutes of experimental avant-garde black metal blended with a lot of different styles and influences. It has a chaotic and dissonant atmosphere that's common in this subgenre but with a uniqueness that makes it stand out.

2nd album by Kemerov. Top notch death'n'roll in a 40 minutes album, a 100% crescendo of mid '90s Entombed hedonistic trip to pure groovy bone crasher/boneshaker every day underdog stories.

4th album by Grá, 5 years after their last one. It’s another change in direction from their 2018 record 'Väsen' which incorporated masses of keyboards, orchestral and choral elements, and acoustic parts. The album switches between a range of mid-paced riffing and the occasional burst of scathing speed.

11th album by Obituary, 6 years after their last one. This is a killer album that continues the glorious history of a glorious death metal band. The songwriting seems a bit more polished, the small, fine melodies more mature, the songs more brutal, but at the same time more catchy and the production does the rest to make the album a treat.

3rd album by Rogga Johansson. Johansson’s solo work has been mainly melodic and easy in character, providing a rather nostalgic sound occasionally similar to early Gothenburg bands. The combination of sadness, melancholy, Nordic plains and frost works.

3rd album by Ripped To Shreds. An entertaining and enjoyable release. What differentiates group’s vision from many recent attempts to rekindle oldschool death metal perfection lies in the renewed importance of unpredictable grindcore moments thrown into those glutted riff sagas.

2nd album by Demolition Train. Musically, speed is above all here, creating the environment and the merits of the act. The guitars are influenced by traditional heavy metal with many N.W.O.B.H.M. sides, while not missing the rawness in the vein of teunotic thrash that the Greek scene loves so much.

Escuela Grind deliver a violent and aggressive sound that combines powerviolence, punk, grindcore, deathgrind, and hardcore into a ferocious brand of contemporary heaviness.
