Labyrinthine Oceans - For The Flesh & For The Machine - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With the fourth album Cypher, Finnish black metal outfit... and Oceans completed their transformation from predominantly symphonic influences to industrial inspirations. Being a group that has never played safe, this record transcended genres, broke all rules and was both lauded and hated for it. Cypher is the last record before the band changed their name to Havoc Unite.

Lecherous Nocturne - Occultaclysmic [COMPACT DISCS] date 04/06/2018

When the going gets tough, metal gets heavier. Sylosis have always been devoted to the fine art of breaking necks, but in recent times, the urgency of their mission has grown exponentially. Still surfing on a wave of acclaim and the effusive fan response to their last album, 2023's A Sign Of Things To Come, Josh Middleton's virtuoso wrecking crew are poised to their latest and best album, The New Flesh. A towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force, the band's seventh full-length offering is a powerful showcase for the state of Sylosis in 2025 lethal, uncompromising, and avowedly metal as all hell.
