| Nothing in Death Metal sounds as evil as the dual vocals of Roni Sahari and Hellwind Inferion, especially when they're layered over the top of each other like at 3:22 into the track "Unmask the Face of False". Their best effort yet. |

| Ovnev Cycle of Survival |
| Ovnev, a one-man Black Metal band from Texas that's masterminded by a friend of mine West, just recently released his first LP titled Cycle of Survival on Naturmacht Productions on November 26th. The album is a concept album that tells the story of a man who heads into the wilderness in an attempt to live off of the land. He finds shelter in an abandoned cabin and ends up making the terrible decision to hunt a boar, which leads him to a wolves den. He's then torn to shreds and becomes a part of the surrounding mountains forever. The sound can be described as a a bit of a melodic approach to traditional Atmospheric Black Metal from the states, with some melodic riffs and incredible acoustic passages perfectly blended with the more traditional tremolo picked onslaughts Black Metal is known for. Highly recommended for fans of Wolves in the Throne Room, Skagos, Agalloch, etc |

| Death Metal Album of the Year 2018. This average rating is ludicrous. Only thing that comes close is Druid Lord or Tomb Mold. |
