1.5 very poor | Jeremy Wolfers | January 26th 18 | a few pretty good tracks but lacking creativity as ever. mamelli seems to habitually use dissonant riffs as a placeholder for ideas.

3.2 good | Trey STAFF | March 9th 18 | All of Pestilence's 'technical' riffs sound the same. It wasn't always like that, but since their reformation it almost feels like they're just going through the motions. Fortunately, the band is talented enough that even going through the motions turns out alright, at least. Basically, Hadeon is kind of a streamlined blend of Spheres and Testimony of the Ancients... except lazy.

2.0 poor | DoctorVelvet | January 4th 18 | Big shame. No matter how much Mamelli pumps up his projects on social media, no matter how many times he claims he's created a revolution, a modern masterpiece, no matter how many times he conjures excitement and makes fans get their hopes way up that something brilliant and fresh is on its way, he lets. Everyone. Down. This guy cannot make music anymore. Actually, I wanted to briefly note that to me his past three albums have been totally listenable. They're filled with groove and quality riff writing. I'm in the minority and that's fine. But the problem is when he claims he's crafted something totally new. And it just so happens that this new album is not just the same deal (x10), it simply is more or less unredeeming. For once, the horde of claims of genericism--to a fault--towards modern Pestilence is something I agree with.
His talk has been confirmed useless and untrustworthy. The weirdest thing is that after three decades of making music you'd think, just for himself, that he'd be craving freshness,-- to create something totally new. Yet clearly he does not. And this is fine; he's completely entitled to create the art he wants to create. He's content to dial it in, and I'm not here to claim that he's wrong. I just don't want to listen to his music.

3.0 good | Xenophanes EMERITUS | January 2nd 18 | Over-simplified songwriting belies a profound understanding of how death metal can be both fun and catchy while still convincingly heavy.
