New Releases Discussion Topic (2016)

Post by GulliverFoyle »

I've tried the search section but it doesn't shows relevant topics and thus I thought that this is a great opportunity to discuss recent releases. A couple telegraphic, short sentences for each release would be great. Personally, I want heads up in order to search for them (mainly in Spotify) and then, depending the outcome, to decide to buy them. There are so many of them (already 4964 new full length releases are archived in M-A) and obviously I don't have time to listen to all of them and thus a mapping is much needed. And I'm only speaking about heavy/power/prog/death/black metal releases here.


Need opinions for: :D


Aborted -Retrogore

Exumer- The Raging Tides

Master - An Epiphany of Hate

Anthrax- For All Kings

Deströyer 666- Wildfire


Artillery- Penalty by Perception

Ihsahn- Arktis.

Destruction- Under Attack



It's almost a certainty that I'll listen to all of them, but I wanted to get some opinions also. :wink:

My short comment about the releases above is...go get Demon Bitch instead! :lol:

PS. It's true. Such a topic was definitely needed. Good to get some recs and opinions from some fellow old-schoolers.

Exumer- The Raging Tides

Thanks to spotify, I.ve spinned yesterday this beast! Great old school thrash with zero groove. For the last, I need to listen to it again to verify it. I'm still thinking how I missed it since it was an early January release. Probably I'll rate and buy it!

Inquisition- Bloodshed Across the Empyrean Altar Beyond the Celestial Zenith


I'm playing this while typing. Great rifftastic black metal from these escarabajos with excessive song titles. I think it comes with nice aging bouquet and has the potential to withstand the test of time. I will buy it!

Should Black Sword Thunder Attack release their album yet this year I will put my two cents as well.
But I doubt they will.

Destroyer 666 - Wildfire

Listened to this beast many times and...it's probably the best album from these Aussies. They take their black/thrash formula and inject it with a healthy does of pure heavy metal melody and fervor. There is thrashing to be had, but the songs flow perfectly and some even have Running Wild-like touches to them. Riffing is very catchy but still vicious. And the last track - "Tamam Shud" - is an epic, spine-tingling song.

Asphyx - Incoming Death

I've been spinning this on Spotify since its release day! Crushing doom/death! I've ordered it soon after the 3rd listening! I really can't say much about tracks etc, for the moment, because I still can't distinguish my thoughts on it! A latent Death-Slayer atmosphere is clearly lingering in the air though.

We are expecting this to release any time and I predict it will make quite an impact (at least in the underground).

Heard a sample, there's definitely some potential there.

Yeah, my bad. If someone likes DB, should go for White Magician as well.

Not what I was expecting at all.

It's very rare that I will give praise to a new release but this is truely derived from the golden era with zero modern elements.

An enjoyable listen.
