My thoughts on a few recent single releases. Be sure to go give them all a listen!
Her Final Breath - Decay with Me Score: 8/10
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzyROl58yTE The brutal, carnage level vocals on this track caught me by surprise in the best way. Being brand new to this particular ensemble is dope, because experiencing them first hand is pretty neat. I subtract points only due to mixing quality. Nomad TN - Filth Score: 9/10
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xnPuIwydaE This track was pretty damn heavy for a 'metalcore' band. The little 'wheely wheely' riffs were nicely placed through out the song and didn't get tiresome. And props for the coloration and style of the accompanying music video! Orsimer - Baal Muian feat. Cody Slambert of Gorepig Score: 8.5/10
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X4sA1AWs7g The pace on this track was interesting and kept me guessing. It wasn't a standard groove metal song, which was a breath of fresh air. The over lapping high pitch vs low pitch vocals were well balanced. Ultimatum - Depth Dweller Score: 9.5/10
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXRfLP9tw-c The opening riff was light and almost 'hopeful', and then it exploded with absolutely barbaric savagery. The video is sweet, and that scream at 2:50....well, go see for yourself. Spoiler, it's phenomenal. Cetragore - Zolom Score: 7.9/10

This track gave me old school death metal vibes. The solos and long riffs were good, just needed a tiny bit of pizzazz. The deep vocals were appreciated. I almost wished for more lyrical content, I feel as though these guys could tell a mean story.
