This song is dedicated to every core kid, post-hardcore fu****ad, emo pu***ss and all your useless wannabees trying to use metal as a fashion rather than a passion and lifestyle. This video says all I wanted to say in just the right intensity!

Barbiturate - Deep (2014)
Independently released
Favorite track, "The Big F**k You"
Rating: 6.5/10

Grand opening album by Avant-Garde metal band Barbiturate is one helluva trip. Creativity and style is very exciting and does keep things fresh at every turn. Mixing progressive sludge, metalcore, and a taste of death metal for good measure was a well done recipe to keep this album afloat. The songs themselves to speak volumes and expresses a sign of genuine artistry and I honestly can call myself a fan of these gents. I can safely say this album contains no fillers or boring pieces, and sticks to their formula tightly. But why the low rating? Well where the music is strong, the mixing/mastering is absolute s**t. The quality in sound is abhorrent and takes away from the individual songs. Its irritating at how poorly mixed and put together this album comes out. Its garage demo quality mixing turns this potentially top tier avant garde album into a dime-a-dozen giveaway. I want more! I want more "umph" and "pow"!! The mixing does album no favors whatsoever. But aside from that, I tip my hat off to the highlight of the album, Justin Grimm. His bass, drums, keyboard assault is what stands out above the resr and really shines like a fu***ng diamond. Horns to you, good sir!

The Oath - The Oath (2014)
Released by Rise Above Records
Favorite track, "Night Child"
Rating: 7/10

Retro 70's occult heavy metal lead by women, how do you say no to that? The energy and tone of the entire album just bleeds nostalgia within these 9 hymns for Satan and his children. The mixing of the gritty distorted guitars melting along with Johanna Sadonis' echoing, soft voice works so well together in this, their debut album. This was a great first step into the metal-stream and I see The Oath becoming a huge name while the retro occult heavy metal craze is still being rode. OG metalheads will definitely get their jollies off this debut!

To Suffer by Pulse of Purgatory, released 20 March 2014 Woe! One week of desolation So cold and all alone Body torn - hope extirpated Safe to say I've been forsakened Around me, a town so quiet Lifeless - homes abandoned Snow claims this icy kingdom Architecture in total ruins Oh! My world begins to...

Merciless - The Awakening (1990)
Released by Deathlike Silence
Favorite track, "Dreadful Fate"
Rating: 8/10

Starting the new decade off with their debut album, Merciless got serious and busted this thrashy death classic! These Swedes already had a following after two beloved demos, even Euronymous found them to be worthy of being under his label! The Awakening would become an evolutionary piece to bring death metal into what it is today. Merciless put together 3 styles all rolled into one which wasn't yet common at this time, mixing thrashy Slayer influences, black metal rasping growls and death metal intensity; this was a stand above the rest album and still to this day is regarded as one of the best death metal albums of all time! Merciless are an underrated titan of the genre and this album says it all.
