Apogean – Cyberstrictive
This album does a great job of bringing some fresh and inventive ideas to death metal, without sacrificing any of the expected tropes of the genre.

Illumishade – Another Side of You
Illumishade’s “Another Side of You” is the ultimate hybrid of genres, sounds and emotions not just because of how many puzzle pieces it puts together, but because of how beautiful and coherent the final picture is.
Night Verses – Every Sound has a Color in the Valley of Night
With “Every Sound has a Color in the Valley of Night(Part 2)”, Americans “Night Verses” completed the album, partially released last year. And it’s clear the “Part 2” shines as much as Part 1, but also adds extra flavours with two vocal-featured tracks.
Omnivide – A Tale of Fire
The mix of styles in the material on “A Tale of Fire” speaks volumes to me. Debut albums are always a great stepping stone for bands, and I hope this landmark moment will spur them on. I am sure they have plenty of ideas in their locker and I look forward to hearing more from them.
Artificial Language – Distant Glow EP
As good as this EP is, I hope it is a stopgap in lieu of another full album. That would be most welcome, and this is certainly a band to watch out for.
