Pentagram Chile - Eternal Life Of Madness
|
Pentagram Chile returns a decade after the release of their debut album. Despite the busy schedule of their founder, these South American pioneers stayed focused and released another powerful and rifftastic slab of death/thrash metal. Read more ›› |

Guenna - Peak Of Jin'Arrah
|
Bands such as Elder, Weedpecker and especially Mastodon have done a lot to inspire a growing number of bands into combining stoner and progressive rock elements. Guenna aren’t pioneers of such a fusion, but there’s something about their sound that offers something a smidge different to some of their peers. Read more ›› |

The Troops Of Doom - A Mass To The Grotesque

Bongripper - Empty
|
Of all the various bands with ‘bong’ in their name, Bongripper are the one that have managed to record music that sounds as filthy as dirty bong water. Despite its name, Empty is full to the brim with yet more dense, devastating distortion. Read more ›› |

Rotting Christ - Pro Xristou
|
Rotting Christ return with at least one (and only one) new riff, one less number of new ideas than riffs, and, shit, we're already in the negative numbers. Does a recycled riff or lyric count as -1 new one? In that case, the number of news on Pro Xristou quickly leads us below the set of natural numbers. Read more ›› |

Autolith - Artificial Heaven
|
When reviewing debuts of bands previously covered in Clandestine Cuts, I may have voiced my impatience once or twice (or thrice) for one particular Clandestine Cuts bands to make the same leap; finally, after 4 years, Autolith have released a full-length debut. Read more ›› |

Abrams - Blue City
|
Between the likes of Wayfarer, Allegaeon, Blood Incantation and Dreadnought, Denver is arguably one of the most exciting metal cities around right now. Abrams are another band from the city that show some adventure in their songwriting, but unlike the names mentioned above, their output is of a decidedly less extreme persuasion, and this is becoming increasingly the case over time.

Hemotoxin - When Time Becomes Loss
|
A prog thrash band with influences of Death and Vektor. Sounds like a match made in heaven, right? Read more ›› |

Pallbearer - Mind Burns Alive
|
It's not a big surprise that out of all the metal genres, it is the slow, somber, and mournful one that has the biggest penchant for emotion. Here's Pallbearer going heavy on the emotion and light on the metal. Read more ›› |

Holycide - Towards Idiocracy
|
World peace and political accountability would be a terrible thing for thrash metal, leaving bands scrambling around for inspiration and imagery on which to base their output. Thankfully for bands like Holycide, they aren't likely to being made redundant anytime soon; a good thing for them, too, as otherwise Towards Idiocracy would be pretty devoid of content.
