…inously sets the table for the fierce riff eruption that is “Redemption, Pt. II.” Thunderous drums push “Babylon” to be a standout that meticulously builds forcefully along with brilliantly restrained lead guitar work, combining to stomp upon the listener’s existence. The drum work is the unsung hero of Legacy – as well as other works from this talented enigma – pushing the music to a higher plane of power and poise. The finale comes in the form o…

Main songwriter Athenar wielded his bass like a thundering sledgehammer, along his raspy scre…

Ascended Dead ticked all of those boxes with their debut full-length Abhorrent Manifestation back in 2017, and many agreed, with that release putting the San Diego, California natives on the map. A pair of split releases followed, all leading up to their sophomore effort Evenfall of the Apocalypse. To say that Ascended Dead have upped the level of disc…

Think of the creativity of Altars, combined with the full on assault of Aeviterne, and you have a taste of what Nightmarer is bringing to the table. Deformity Adrift is menacing, poignant, and will not hesitate to toss you into the muck a few hundred times within its tight under 32 minute run time. The band’s fervent DIY attitude is also admirable, and their hard work and…

Their more progressive side does shine through in parts, showing that they have it in them to change it up enough as to remain fresh and not completely predictable. In truth, it would be fun to see them flex that muscle more regularly, as the best moments are when they do just that. Nevertheles…

Compared to Birth of the Marvellous, this is a noticeably heavier record, but never once losing the essential gobs of emotiveness. Somber interlude “In Black” meshes with the mysterious aura of “The Distance,” which puts Stewart’s impeccable drum work on full display. His impactful playing is the backbone of Sermon’s sound, always containing a richness and rhythmic timing…

The one-two opening punch of “H.M.O.” and “Phantomland” (the latter featuring a classic “Mr. Scary”/Dokken riff) saw many headbang or tapping their hands in approval.
