Rise Of The Reaper (Metal Blade Records) is an album that succeeds as both the finest work that death metal band Entrails has ever released and one of the most satisfying metal records of 2019.
With their latest EP The Last Rager (Nuclear Blast Records), Municipal Waste deliver a decent, albeit unfulfilling teaser of perhaps what’s to come from them on their next full-length record.

In Cauda Venenum (Nuclear Blast Records) is the most cohesive, solid album that Opeth have ever released, and easily the best of their modern era.

ISON has easily produced the celestial ambient, post-rock album of 2019 with Inner – Space (Avantgarde Music), an astral journey that begs to be grasped and experienced.
