Leaker - HAPPYHOUR
85

This is wild, like early Chat Pile had a baby with KEN Mode at their angriest

Katatonia - Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State
40

The downwards trend since dead end kings continues

The Haunted - Songs of Last Resort
80

Their best since The Dead Eye imo

Chat Pile - Live at Roadburn 2023
100

I'm in that album cover somewhere! What a show this was, phenomenal set list. Go see Chat Pile live!

DITZ - Never Exhale
80

45% post punk 45% noise rock 10% indie
At it's best when it goes full on dark, sinister and broody ala KEN Mode

Trauma Bond - Summer Ends. Some Are Long Gone.
80

If you like Candy (particularly Heaven is Here era) or when bands like Full of Hell or Napalm Death go 'weird' this is for you

Squid Pisser - My Tadpole Legion
80

Good fun chaotic hardcore with some interesting guests leading to some unique vocals throughout

Wiegedood - There's Always Blood at the End of the Road
100

My only perfect score for a 2022 album, utterly relentless through and through. Doesn't necessarily do anything new with black metal but a career best by the band that already have a phenomenal back catalogue.

Conjureth - The Parasitic Chambers
75

Promising debut really fulfiled on this record, some of the nastiest sounding death metal in 2023 so far, definitely keeping a close eye on these guys

Death Engine - Ocean
85

Very strong mix of post-metal, sludge and grinding hardcore reminiscent in places of earlier Mastodon works

Scalp - Black Tar
75

If you're looking for something to scratch that PV itch in the stylings of Nails you can't go far wrong here
