Candlemass – Black Star
I’m undecided there’s any band that higher embodies the best of getting older gracefully than Candlemass. Sweden’s doom-metal elder statesmen have returned as soon as once more to grace us with their presence, this time with two new tracks and two very becoming covers. It takes a sure stage of legitimacy to cowl Black Sabbath, however Candlemass has the strongest declare of anybody round.

Escarnium – Inexorable Entropy
Darkish, cavernous demise metallic from Brazil. Being that that is the band’s fourth album and I’d by no means heard of them earlier than, Escarnium have to be one among demise metallic’s best-kept secrets and techniques in the meanwhile. In case you like your demise metallic with an ominous, virtually orchestral power (like I do), then that you must get up-to-speed on this band.

It’s a deeply thought-provoking and expansive sound that looks like a nightmare, however one which makes the dreamer replicate: “Nicely, that is actually scary, but in addition fascinating!” And then you definately scream.
