Just because CDs aren’t a thing anymore doesn’t mean CD bloat doesn’t still exist.

Another solid entry in the books from one of deathcore’s most consistent acts.

Planetary Clairvoyance, Tomb Mold’s third album, continues to make a case for their current dominance.

The Great War loads earworm after earworm into the breech and then rattles them off in rapid succession.

Admission may be Torche’s most straight-up metal release to date — except when it isn’t.

A completely unnecessary mess of unimaginative breakdowns, stupid riffs and political clichés from a band that absolutely knows it can do better.

A fitting tribute to one of post-hardcore’s most beloved and influential figures.

“Certain indigenous cultures believe in using every part of the animal: Darkthrone do that with metal.”

An unflinchingly honest snapshot of where Baroness are now.

The band’s ninth overall release, Humanicide, proves they’re still capable of channeling that youthful anger.

This is as deep-end Devin as you get.

After a few stutter steps on the past two records, Whitechapel are back with a vengeance, delivering an incredibly emotional album that perfects the sound they’ve been developing over the past five years.

Misery Index remain one of a kind at doing one kind of thing.

Morton’s solo debut plays out like two distinct EPs — one of LoG material with different famous singers, and one where he really spread his wings creatively.

Make War, not Peace.

Does it pass the bar set by Air, or fall victim to the sophomore slump?

Expect the unexpected.

Another near-perfect achievement from the death metal all-stars.

The “new and improved” version of Shining is decidedly more hard rock than metal.
