Album Review: The Acacia Strain – You Are Safe from God Here (Rise Records)
When you’re already the embodiment of extreme metal, there’s not a lot of fresh places you can go, so the best thing to do is just double down on what you do. Make something noisier, uglier, chaotic, and violent, and then push all of that to breaking point.
Album Review: Conjurer – Unself (Nuclear Blast Records)
Staggering music. I don’t think Conjurer have ever sounded this necessary. Their finest work to date, and one of the best albums of the year.
