Crushing space doom, anyone?ISIS Oceanic4.0 excellentMessa BelfryMonumentomb Ritual ExhumationSmidley SmidleyWtf is a 'Smidley'? Wtf did this even come from? It's the freshest indie release of the year.Tribulation The Children of the NightThis album reminds us that metal can be grim and still catchy as hell at the same time. A headbanging romp of black metal-infused retro rock, the only let down being the lack of vocal variation.3.5 greatDreaming Dead Funeral TwilightIf Death made a black metal album and Chuck was a woman.Elder (USA-MA) Reflections of a Floating WorldFalls of Rauros Vigilance PerennialPallbearer Heartless3.0 goodBlack Tusk Pillars of AshStolas StolasSomeone's been listening to too much At the Drive In and The Mars Volta.Vektor Terminal Redux2.5 averageDarkest Hour Godless Prophets and the Migrant FloraOpeth SorceressOpeth are trying too hard to revive a dead genre that no one cares about. The lyrics are also hilariously edgy and cringeworthy: I am a sinner and I worship evil Blood is thinner but you will never know Can you confess that you thrive in chaos?

Didn't everyone have enough of this saccharine bastard child of metalcore in the early 2000s?Ulcerate Shrines of ParalysisI listen to a lot of death metal and this just bores me. Endless pummeling and white noise, nothing catchy or interesting. Its only merit is its impressive technicality.
