THE FOURTH SEAL (2017)
by PALE HORSEMAN
Another bad-ass slab of sludge from local Chicago masters Pale Horseman. Their new drummer helps set this record apart from their other offerings. Go ahead and break the seal on this one.

TRANSCANADIAN ANGER
by DOPETHRONE
supported by 66 fans who also own “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”
This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 62 fans who also own “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.
