Windrunner – Mai (Review)
Windrunner are a Vietnamese metalcore band and this is their debut album.
Billed as a progressive metalcore band, this means that on Mai we get 43 minutes of heavy stop-start belligerence mixed with elements of modern progressive metal spread out over 11 tracks. The end result is music that mixes aggression and emotion well to achieve a balanced style of modern heaviness. Continue reading

The Agony Scene – Tormentor (Review)
The Agony Scene are a US metal band and this is their fourth album.

Cold Snap – All Our Sins (Review)
Cold Snap are a Croatian metal band and this is their fourth album.
