I Prevail - Violent Nature
67

All the metalcore clichés are there. Is that a bad thing? It depends on you and your mood. I find it impossible to listen to several metalcore albums in a row. I have to listen to one every two or three months because otherwise they seem like garbage to me due to how repetitive the genre is.

Plini - Handmade Cities
90

If you have the chance to listen to this, take it. One of the best instrumental albums I've ever heard.

Angine de Poitrine - Vol.II
80

Sometimes the songs are repetitive, but the creativity with which they were composed makes up for it.

Magma - Üdü Ẁüdü
70

I'd never heard Magma before. They're really strange. I'm used to all kinds of music, but I don't think I'd ever heard anything like this, and unfortunately, that stopped me from enjoying the album as much as I would have liked. I think I just didn't get it. I have no frame of reference to compare it to. I realized that with each listen, I liked it more. So I guess it's a matter of listening to more Magma to appreciate them better.

Belphegor - Bondage Goat Zombie
72

I remember listening to Sexdictator Lucifer when I was 14 and liking it. Now, at 30, I've listened to it again and it sounds like hot trash The rest of the album is fine.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation
84

A refreshing new sound that I really needed. They have a thrash sound, but a refined one. Not violent, but elegant. I also hear a lot of Priest influence. Now it's time to listen to one of their non-metal albums.

Leiþa - Reue
81

Is the mastermind behind Kanonenfieber incapable of creating bad music? Apparently so. Because this is another great album.

Caligula's Horse - Charcoal Grace
50

I wasn't impressed. I found most of the album boring. There are a few good moments, but they're few and far between and don't justify listening to it.

Darko - Oni 2
87

The best binary deathcore (01101101). For me, no Darko album will ever surpass Oni 1. The sequel came close, delivering energy and emotion in equal measure.

Sepultura - Roots
87

A brilliant finale for Sepultura. They delivered a more than worthy last album, a blend of their previous work with a sound more rooted in Brazilian folk.

Korn - Korn
90

I can't imagine a better way to debut in nu metal

Ethel Cain - Preacher's Daughter
85

I listened to it on a recommendation. My first impression was negative; I found it boring and repetitive. But the more I listened, the more layers of arrangements in the instrumentation emerged, and the album got better and better with each listen. Excellent voice. Versatile.

Voivod - Killing Technology
60

A couple of good songs. Nothing stands out, just enjoyable enough. I expected much more. The vocals are awful; I hate that kind of voice. Only a couple of enjoyable riffs.

Slipknot - .5: The Gray Chapter
75

I've been listening to it lately and I think it's much better than it was years ago when I first heard it.

Myrath - Legacy
80

An adventure through Eastern sounds. The music is easy to listen to. It's simple to get used to the sounds. The guitars are very melodic. I didn't find anything new, but I introduced this album to someone who doesn't listen to metal, and it liked it. Therefore, it's perfect for newbies.

88

I never imagined I would enjoy an album by a Chinese guy who writes thrash/death/black in Greek so much.

Hellripper - Coronach
70

It wasn't a bad album, but I feel like it's missing something. Maybe it's just my mood. I really enjoyed the last album. I just can't seem to connect with this one. I'm not sure why. There are good riffs and drums, and good vocal lines. It's a mystery.

Midwinter - A Love I Hope Will Haunt Me Forever
60

What a disappointment. I read the positive reviews and thought it would be a good album. It isn't. At least not for me. I found it boring, with quite a few quiet and monotonous sections. There are one or two good songs, but they're in the minority.

Angine de Poitrine - Vol.1
96

I've fallen victim to virality. I thoroughly enjoyed Angine. For the first time, I agree that a band can be successful overnight. Excellent musicians.

Crown Lands - Fearless
75

I have to admit that I enjoyed this more than several Rush albums (a band that Crown shamelessly plagiarizes).
