Stand outs this week:
Olde Throne - Third album from atmospheric black metal band out of New Zealand. Very interesting blend of tribal drums, flutes and throat singing mixed in. This album is meant to be experienced from beginning to end with no breaks as each track flows to the next seamlessly.
Monachopsis - Third EP from UK based technical melodic death metal band. This is the final chapter of their EP trilogy and features a couple of re-recorded tracks.
Also looking forward to: When Nothing Remains - Locusts and Honey - Orob - Acid Death - Nemorous - Remaining Warmth
