4th album by Alda, 6 years after their last one. This is an atmospheric black metal album which paints a beautiful landscape in quick, delicate strokes; resplendent in hope and light. The warmth of the sound is a little excessive, but guarantees a traditional feel which is both satisfying and comfortable.

3rd album by Eternity's End. Comprised basically of the main members of Obscura and Alkaloid with the former vocalist of Hibria, the group feel like a collective. If you’re familiar with the group, you already know that things here are fast-paced, crazy, and thrashy power metal with a lot of neoclassical elements.

6. Empyrean
7. Lost Cause
8. Desolate Worlds (Distant Dimensions)
Debut album by Paranorm. It is a fairly technical, slightly progressive take on thrash that still manages to be damned aggressive. There’s also the occasional nods to the melodic, progressive side of '90s death metal at very key moments. An entertaining and promising debut.

2. Dreaming The Void
3. Στη Φυλακή Των Νεκρών Ονείρων
3-track 'Ep by Sørgelig, a project by Isolert and Insanity Cult. The group's vision is still nihilistic and full of rage, but there’s more crust/punk flavors in these three new songs. The music is piercing in its power, ruthless in its ferocity, explosive in its passion and absolutely magnetic in the attraction of the riffing.

2nd album by Tower. Based on their guitar duo featuring James Danzo and Zak Penley, Tower have studied perfectly the Maiden and Mercyful Fate dual guitars where the galloping rhythm is enriched with melodic sharp riffs and brilliant soloing full of intense and power. As the rhythm section is rock solid and follows the guitar lines all eyes are on their singer Sarabeth Linden.

8th album by Mastodon. It never stops giving, and the album’s energy, depth, and power make it a completely unique addition to the band’s mammoth catalog. While 'Hushed And Grim' tracks the stages of grief, it also reflects on the soul's journey after death.

11th album by Helheim. It is a harsher and more punishing affair than its predecessor. It is a passionate and ambitious endeavor with arguably the best and most fitting production to ever grace one of their outputs.

2nd album by Hyperdontia, 3 years after their debut. It is a clear improvement to an already distinct and powerful group. Driving, ravaging riffs over exacerbating drums push each member to escalate their presence in this death metal behemoth. Enjoy!

10. Cold Dead Light
Debut album by Grand Cadaver. They bring so much in from their spheres of melodeath, doom and more, creating an album that’s rooted in old school death metal. They leveraged an impressive musical resume into an enjoyable slab of vintage Swedeath that sometimes plays like a really pissed-off Dark Tranquillity album.

14th album by Unleashed. Based on an unpublished novel book written by vocalist/bassist Johnny Hedlund, 'No Sign Of Life' is a concept album and actually is the fifth chapter in Hedlund’s 'Odalheim' saga that started back in 2012. Who cares for new tricks or progress, when songs are full of catchy choruses, brave solos, epic lead parts and ultra ferocity that pummel your ears and are damn so effective.
