Wadge - Total Volcano Exploding (Grindcore Karaoke, 2012)

A couple of weeks back I wrote about Wadge's new album for ye olde Metal Bandcamp. But then I got into a neck-wrecking car accident and lost track of reality for a while. Total Volcano Exploding is a freakishly fine follow-up to Grindcore Lu'au, and so much better than totaling your car. Check out my review over here.

Acephalix - Deathless Master (Southern Lord, 2012)

The new Acephalix album rips death wide open. My review of Deathless Master is up at Metal Injection.

Hivelords - Grand Cromlech (Self-Released, 2012)

I wrote up a review of Hivelords' delectable Grand Cromlech EP for the mighty Metal Bandcamp, over here.   "Bathe in ethereal swarms."

Woods of Ypres - Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light (Earache, 2012)

After extended deliberation I've finally put some words together regarding Woods of Ypres' final album.  My review is posted over at Metal Injection.  This one was tough.
