Allegaeon – The Ossuary Lens
Like all the best albums The Ossuary Lens gets better with every play because there is so much going on. If, and I hope this is the case, an eighth album is planned then bring it on I say.

Vermilia – Karsikko
The combination of Finnish lyrics, seamless blending of aggression and melody, and a beautiful approach to vocal layering, makes Vermilia’s music a constant clash of contrasting aesthetics that seems to reflect nature itself.
Serenity in Murder – Timeless Reverie
“Timeless Reverie” feels bold, daring and willing to venture into unsafe, unexplored creative territory.
Jinjer – Duél
I’ve been thinking of them as a metalcore band, but I think that label might’ve become obsolete by the time they made “Macro”.
Skylimit – Skylimit
This EP isn’t anything I haven’t heard before. But it was mostly intended to be a compact dose of energy with some catchy hooks and grooves. And that mission was fully achieved.
