At The Gates - To Drink From The Night Itself
May 18, 2018
Critic Score
79
11 reviews
Although the new record doesn't exactly expound on their formula – tremulous rhythms paired with truly singable guitar leads – it does contain some memorable songs in "Palace of Lepers" and "The Chasm."

Voïvod - The Wake
September 21, 2018
Critic Score
86
10 reviews

The Wake, the band’s 14th LP, offers definitive proof that the old, weird Voivod is back: It’s arguably their most hyper-detailed, gloriously geeky album since the Eighties.

7.

Deafheaven - Ordinary Corrupt Human Love
July 13, 2018
Critic Score
82
32 reviews
On just seven songs that run a little over an hour, Deafheaven have finally achieved what they’ve been striving towards for the better part of a decade: true post-metal fusion.

Judas Priest - Firepower

Critic Score
79
14 reviews

2.

Daughters - You Won't Get What You Want
October 26, 2018
Critic Score
86
13 reviews
If heavy music is supposed to be scary, Daughters have elevated it to an invigorating new level.

1.

Sleep - The Sciences
April 20, 2018
Critic Score
84
11 reviews
With freight-train heavy riffs so indebted to Sabbath's Tony Iommi that he should get royalties, trippy lyrics about diverse subjects such as weed, ganja and pot, and endless groove for days on each of their songs, they've made an album that sounds exactly how Sleep should sound in 2018.
