1. Intro
2. Dying Season
3. Control By Chaos
4. No Stone Unturned

7. A Hero's Welcome
8. Undone
9. Bloodkult
10. Red Tears Of Disgrace
11. Silent Nothingness

3rd album by Heathen, 18 years after their last one. Their style is still almost a marriage between thrash and 80's US power metal, a blend of aggression mixed with some catchy melody. The songs are long and multilayered, the musicianship is ultra-tight and tastefully employed, and David White sounds better than maybe he ever has. The band demonstrates a mastery of incredible riffs and interesting dynamics.

Debut album by Earth Burnt Black. The band blends their distinct influences into an undeniably progressive metal sound. They genuinely mix heavily distorted low-tuned guitars with the experimental and complex compositions of progressive doom/heavy, topping that with a hint of sludge metal in conjunction with various voice types. Clean vocals, distorted clean vocals, death growls and black metal shrieks compose the scenery.

Year: 2012

1. Shadows
2. Barbarism Rises

4. The Sad King Of Mankind
5. Heir Of The Black Flame

8. Harbinger Of The Night
9. The Janus Face

2nd album by Augrimmer. The band sounds rather traditional mostly, much in the vein of mid-nineties scandinavian black metal. The songs are on the speedy side but they regularly slow things down to create more atmospheric parts. Some folk-influences are noticeable and function reasonably well in context.
