Malokarpatan have went for a more polished sound this time round, I think this compliments their “blackend” progressive heavy metal sound very well, more so than the lo-fi production on their previous projects. You can tell they've matured as musicians and songwriters, the songwriting here is much more concise which I really appreciate. I love the keyboards on here as well.

This has to be one of the most intense and abrasive pure thrash records ever made, the cover looks exactly how the music sounds. The Marshall Arts has to be one of my favourite album openers of all time, just listen to that scream it's INSANE!!
My only major criticism is that the lyrics can get very eye roll-worthy at times *cough* Taste the Floor *cough* but that's to be expected with B list 80's thrash.

I don't really listen to or know anything about electronic music but just know that I had fun. King Gizzard are my favourite band so I'm going to be bias.
Favourite tracks: The Silver Chord, Set, Swan Song and Extinction
When King Gizz (who aren't a metal band) have released one of the best thrash metal albums of the 21st century that's when you know the genre is dead.
Favourite tracks: Motor Spirit, Converge, Gila Monster, Dragon and Flamethrower
The mixture of atmospheric black metal and alt country is a match made in heaven, I know Wayfarer aren't the first band to do this but definitely the most prominent. While I do enjoy this album a lot I feel there is room for improvement, it loses some steam towards the back half but picks up again with the last song.
Favourite tracks: The Thousand Tombs of Western Promise, To Enter My House Justified and False Constellation
