A powerhouse of an album. 5:07-9:07 ALTARAGE (Spain) Forja \u2014 Sinister, meditative drone pace builds to a cacophony, with pockets of grind and sludge and death chugging. Runner-up up in my Best of 2016, and another hit. 9:47-14:14 THE ARMED (Detroit) Average Death \u2014 90\u2019s-esque indie blended to modernity with a Converge-textural hardcore, industrial and synth, and pop. 19 musicians include some famous ones. 14:34-19:08 DESOLATE REALM (Finland) Spire \u2014 2-piece heavy metal includes all the good stuff, including a jamming guitar, breaks into ballads, and a heavy dose of headbanging. 19:23-25:03 DEATHTRIPPERS (UK) Unity of light \u2014 Lovely goth vocals in a richly melodic and romantic electronic dark wave. 25:50-33:29 SPECTRAL LORE (Greece) Initiation Into The Mystery \u2014 Last year\u2019s split with Mare Cognitum led to this chaotic, beautiful, abstract and ethnic black metal. 33:55-40:33 BONES OF THE EARTH (Arkansas) Machine Rising \u2014 The unexpected galaxy-driven compositions took me out of what I was listening to. Already a unique mix of doom, proggy sludge, droning guitars, and chomping hardcore 40:55-42:24 BONE CUTTER (San Jose) Sea of Broken Needs \u2014 2 thumbs-up to the song titles. Short and sweet crushing grindcore and death that is unexpectedly charming. 42:53-48:57 UNGFELL (Switzerland) Tyfels Antlitz (Wie e Huer\u00e4 zwei Chind empfanget) \u2014 Just picture these dudes in Heidi-pigtails on a Swiss countryside singing their fantasy medieval and orchestral black metal. . 49:55-53:57 CICADA THE BURROWER (Madison) Where Old Crystals Grow \u2014 Shimmering with sharp waves right under the surface. Meandering jazz meets raw aggression. All proceeds off this record go to the ACLU, yah! 54:40-END PAYSAGE d\u2019HIVER (Switzerland) W\u00e4rz\u00e4 \u2014 Paysage d\u2019Hiver\u2019s \u201cWanderer\u201d continues to explore an alien world. A shorter album than last year\u2019s stunner, but still a raw biting wind. ","author_name":"She Likes It Heavy bostonfreeradio.com","author_url":"http:\/\/reject.libsyn.com","html":"
