New Crimson Glory after 27 years. What will it be like? I am not saying this is great, but for being their first album in more than 20 years and the fact that 3 of the original members are still active, I think it is worthy of a few spins. The first half of the album is the better material, and some of it sounds like it could have been left on the cutting room floor during the Transcendence sessions, but I still kinda dig it. Definitely better than Strange and Beautiful in my opinion.

When I first heard of Rivers Of Nihil back in like 2010, I thought that this band was sofa king good, and that impression lasted through 2015 with their Monarchy album, but after that, I kinda lost them. So, my oldest friend is a guy I call nuttinface, and he doesn't come around here much, but that may be my fault. Anyway, we're still really cool, and a few weeks ago he tried to push these guys back on me again. He said, "Man, you used to like them, what's up now?" I said, "Yeah, I know, but they changed." Then he said, "Yes, they did, for the better." Well, he was correct, this album is so freaking good if you're open to the progressive side of death metal \m/\m/

Man, I was totally caught off guard by this album when I first listened back in March. JFAC have definitely upped their game with the technicality and musicianship displayed on this release. I didn't really listen to their previous disc Sun Eater much and maybe I should go back to it at some point because I really like these songs and feel they have progressed a lot since Demonocracy 12 years ago \m/\m/

Thanatophobia is a 2-man band from Belarus and with Rebirth Through Destruction they have created a highly diverse album with a lot of different elements at play.

Witness: -[*]-
The first time I listened to this disc I didn't get past the first 3 songs and I turned it off because it seemed like they were trying to do way too much technicality. I had always liked their previous work, especially their 2010 EP but it was/is more restrained and heavy IMO. Then SourceRa came in here and promoted this disc heavily and I went back to it and realized the quality of their work here. Thanks my brother for pushing it the way you did.
