5. Aborted, Global Flatline
“This is a powerful album and it goes back to what Aborted sounded like some records before. Love it.”
4. Testament, Dark Roots of Earth
“They made it again. It is amazing how you have the chance to listen to Testament new stuff and enjoy it as much as the great old ones. They will always stay among the big ones and this album still sounds fresh.”
3. Enslaved, RIITIIR
“Love the way they create their atmosphere. I enjoyed their previous album very much and so I do for this one.”
2. Cannibal Corpse, Torture
“Cannibal Corpse are one of those bands you could never get bored with. The point is, they write pretty much always the same music and it is always awesome.”
1. Moonspell, Alpha Noir/Omega White
“It has taken a few Moonspell albums to make my attention go back on them. This is a great album, and they are really good live, which adds a lot nowadays to the process of enjoying the music.”

3. Aborted, Global Flatline
“The new Aborted album further strengthens their place in modern death metal. An amazing album with some of the best artwork and packaging I’ve seen all year.”
2. Dying Fetus, Reign Supreme
“Dying Fetus. That’s all I have to say. They are death-metal overlords. Just listen to the track, ‘In the Trenches’ and see why.”
1. Napalm Death, Utilitarian
“Anything Napalm Death outs out is the best grind. I love them–they ALWAYS deliver!”
