October has been loaded with releases and this week is no exception. 60 albums this time and as always, let me know if I missed any.
Stand outs this week:
Sunken - Third album from atmospheric black metal band out of Denmark.
Ars Onirica - EP from Italian solo melodic death / doom outfit. Inspired by old Katatonia, Anathema, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and Swallow The Sun
Abeyance - Debut album from Italian melodic death metal band taking influence from the Gothenburg scene and it sounds very promising. This one is out today.
