A hell of a debut that isn't for the faint of heart.
sludge metal
Converge & Chelsea Wolfe - Bloodmoon: I
ReviewsCommentBloodmoon: I is a pretty solid collab, and hopefully the title hints that the best is yet to come.
Boris - No
ReviewsCommentNO is the most kick-ass Boris has sounded in over a decade.
Full of Hell - Weeping Choir
CommentMarred by a few nondescript lowlights, Weeping Choir otherwise contains some of Full of Hell's most distinct and exciting extreme genre fusions so far.
High on Fire - Electric Messiah
ReviewsCommentApart from the slightly improved production quality and a couple of stylistic risks, Electric Messiah is a pretty standard High on Fire album.
Thou - Magus
ReviewsCommentMagus is Thou's best produced album yet and is, like Heathen, admirably ambitious in scope. However, the band's sound still isn't dynamic or enthralling enough to warrant the 75 minute runtime.
Keiji Haino + SUMAC - American Dollar Bill
ReviewsCommentAaron Turner's Sumac joins forces with legendary noise rock experimentalist Keiji Haino for an hour's worth of mind-melting post-metal jams.
Primitive Man - Caustic
ReviewsCommentDoom metal trio Primitive Man returns with one of the most nihilistic albums in the genre. For anyone who enjoys some pain with their pleasure.
