These dudes continue leading the pack of OSDM revival/worship acts and beat out modern

| Demon King The Final Tyranny |
| This is a great little EP, tons of technicality without verging into the obnoxious but also some really solid song-writing and layering of interesting elements. |

Neither the growled nor clean vocals quite live up to Akerfeldt's, but these guys are showing some real promise on this album, curious to see where they take this sound in the future. |

| Evoken Hypnagogia |
| Overall brighter, prettier, and more melodic than their usual offerings with the atmosphere not feeling as dense and oppressive as it was on past outings - depending on your taste that could be a positive or a negative thing. It's good, but ultimately it falls fairly short of the greatness of albums like Antithesis of Light and Atra Mors. |

| It's like people forget It Was Written, Stillmatic, God's Son, and The Lost Tapes exists - Nas has had plenty of projects that were solid across his career. He's undeniably wavered in quality over the last 15-20 years, but with that being said, KD2 is a cut above its predecessor in nearly every way and is one of the best "late period" projects from Nas. |

| Not bad, a definite return to form on the first half of the album, with Lucky You being a particularly good standout, but it starts devolving into the same schlock he's been serving up for the last few records around the midway point and never really recovers. |

| Keep of Kalessin Introspection |
| Short both in length and fresh ideas. This little EP shows that Keep of Kalessin still have the musical chops to hang with the best of them, but the atmosphere, the intricate songwriting and the production feel extremely thin and weak. The flashy guitar work on the short instrumental track "Flight of the Hatchling" is easily the most intriguing portion of this 10 minute affair. Hopefully these half-baked ideas can be further developed into another "Armada" caliber record in the near future, but I'm not sure I'm that optimistic. |
