Black Viper - Metal Blitzkrieg 8/10
Solid upbeat fun! Loved the part ~2:00
Necrophobic - Mark of the Necrogram 10/10
About the perfect mix of melodic and extreme IMO.
Invocation Spells - Victims of Doom 6/10
Was alright. Reminds of a more chaotic/lo-fi Destroyer 666.
Spectral Wound - Black Satanic Glamour 8/10
Song seems like it could be great, but overly muffled production really hurts the potential. Found a better version on Youtube that sounds much better. Changed it from a 6 to and 8 based on the not-shitty version.
Gama Bomb - Give Me Leather 9/10
Didn't like it at first, but this really grows on ya!
A Forest of Stars - Children of the Night Soil 6/10
Every time I've tried this band the instrumentation kicks my ass but that vocalist ruins it. It's not even his voice so much as the croning style.
Lovebites - Rising 5/10
I'm normally not a fan of female vocals in metal but these are okay. That said, way too bright and bubbly power metal style on the instrumentation.
Azath - Bonecaster 5/10
Eh. Can't critique it really, just not my thing.
Amorphia - Necromancers 3/10
One of those thrash bands that lean way too hard into the punk-ish vocal style. Meh.
Sulphur Aeon - The Summoning of Nyarlathotep 10/10
Love me some atmospheric death of this style. Only gripe with the band IMO is they tend to have a mix of killer and filler. Thankfully this was one of the former.

When are you planning on ending this? I'll get around to it if it's still going by the weekend.

Black Viper - Metal Blitzkrieg 8/10
Playlist starts off properly. Loving the riffage here. Would have gave it another .5 but the vocals were a mixed bag for me.
Necrophobic - Mark of the Necrogram 9/10
Melodic black/death the way it should be. Best track on the album and one of the best songs they've written in years.
Invocation Spells - Victims of Doom 7.5/10
Some good ole blackened thrash. Solid track but loses some steam around the 2:30 mark
Spectral Wound - Black Satanic Glamour 7/10
Not bad at all. Love the riff that kicks in at 2:18(and again at 3:00 and one more time towards the end)
Gama Bomb - Give Me Leather 9/10
GIVE ME LEATHHHHHHAAAA! Not only is this one of the best songs they've recorded in years, but one of their best to date. What's not to like here?
A Forest of Stars - Children of the Night Soil 6/10
A few interesting parts but overall pretty meh and definitely the weakest track on here so far.
Lovebites - Rising 2.5/10
Azath - Bonecaster 6/10
Not bad, but absolutely nothing stands out on this track.
Amorphia - Necromancers 8/10
This is some pretty cool teutonic influenced thrash. If you cant enjoy this then you should be neutered and forced to turn in your metal card.
Sulphur Aeon - The Summoning of Nyarlathotep 7/10
'twas good

Black Viper - Metal Blitzkrieg
Good stuff 8/10
Necrophobic - Mark of the Necrogram
Instantly recognizable as Necrophobic, but they haven't sounded this good in years. Nice surprise 8.5/10
Invocation Spells - Victims of Doom
Love the unashamed worship of 80s bestial black/thrash. Some of my favourite riffs of the whole year here 9.5/10
Spectral Wound - Black Satanic Glamour
Some nice riffs but seems fairly average and generic and it isn't really my style these days 5/10
Gama Bomb - Give Me Leather
Solid, not huge on the vocalist 6.5/10
A Forest of Stars - Children of the Night Soil
Not good 4/10
Lovebites - Rising
Less good 2/10
Azath - Bonecaster
Nasty and ugly. Cool Malazan reference 8/10
Amorphia - Necromancers
Love some of these ultra basic, evil sounding riffs 7.5/10
Sulphur Aeon - The Summoning of Nyarlathotep
Seems like the sort of thing I should enjoy, or would've once enjoyed a lot. Would probably grow on me but eh 6/10

Black Viper - Metal Blitzkrieg 7.5/10
High energy opener. Pretty good.
Necrophobic - Mark of the Necrogram 7/10
Not bad, but doesn't hold a candle to The Nocturnal Silence or even Darkside. Kinda surprised how highly this was rated in various places last year.
Invocation Spells - Victims of Doom 8/10
Riffs and filth!
Spectral Wound - Black Satanic Glamour 7/10
I wasn't into this album at all when I first heard it, but this is actually not bad. Some cool melodic riffing, but the vocalist is a bit grating. Perhaps it'll grow on me ever more.
Gama Bomb - Give Me Leather 5.5/10
A Forest of Stars - Children of the Night Soil 3/10
Overdramatic and annoying. Definitely not for me.
Lovebites - Rising 2.5/10
Hideously saccharine.
Azath - Bonecaster 8/10
A whirlwind of utter devastation. Lots of driving momentum and some cool melodic ideas. Unfortunately the vocalist isn't that great.
Amorphia - Necromancers 7/10
Enjoyable dirty thrash attack.

Thought my pick would have done a bit better. As I already said, I’m not huge on the vocalist, but everything else is pretty good imo. Definitely looking forward to a full length from them.
