Jupiter
It will be a relief for many fans of ATHEIST's first three seminal albums — "Piece of Time", "Unquestionable Presence" and "Elements" – that comeback album "Jupiter" sounds pretty much what one would expect ATHEIST to sound like in 2010. Not that "Jupiter" is the next step forward from the extraterr...December 6, 2010

In Dreams
It is no secret that a number of bands on the Sumerian roster have been largely responsible for the ascendance of the label's status from "just under the radar" to "gold standard for new school tech-metal" (or thereabouts); THE FACELESS, BORN OF OSIRIS, and VEIL OF MAYA, to name three of the biggies...December 6, 2010

The Moulting
Noisy, indie, alternative, sludgy, doomy and abrasive; these are the words that will cross many a mind during time spent with MARES OF THRACE's "The Moulting". Interestingly enough (or not),the band's self-description on its MySpace page might be the most accurate one yet: "Two-woman technoisesludg...December 6, 2010

Infected
It makes sense that Sweden's FACEBREAKER would make the leap from Pulverised to Metal Blade considering that the latter could benefit from the addition of some Swede-death of a more traditional kind and that the band is just good enough to offer appeal of a wide variety.

Victims of the Modern Age
How about giving it up for Arjen Lucassen? The versatile, multi-talented musician hit the target dead center with "Victims of the Modern Age" by assembling a star-studded cast and making an album that flirts with the progressive in all the right places, but always stays rooted in the fundamentals of...December 6, 2010

Dawn of Winter
A diamond in the rough, a previously undiscovered gem… Pick a cliché, what matters in the end is that OBSCURE INFINITY's "Dawn of Winter" is one of the best death metal releases of 2010, old school or otherwise. This is a group that gets it right on numerous levels and leaves an impression that last...December 6, 2010
Review
...Of War
It is not for lack for trying that "…Of War" falls flat and ends up a middling demonstration of trimmings-and-all folk metal. It is the lack of compelling songwriting, as well as a frustrating degree of disjointedness in the arrangements. What one is left with is an album that is long on ambition an...December 6, 2010
