(We present another edition of Andy Synn’s three-line reviews.)
Well, well, well… it looks like I’ve not done one of these since November.
Which I suppose isn’t too surprising, since most of December was dedicated to rounding up the previous twelve months in list form, as well as desperately scrambling to cover as many albums as possible before the end of the year, and most of last month was similarly focussed on catching up on some of the 2016 albums which we/you might have missed.
Thankfully I’m almost done looking backwards (yeah right) and am starting to switch my attention more and more towards new and upcoming albums from this, the year of our lord 2017.
So, in that spirit, here’s three albums of Death/Grind/Core goodness for you all to (hopefully) enjoy.
BENIGHTED – NECROBREED
Death/Grind on the up.
An album of nasty hooks.
That does not give a…

HADAL MAW – OLM
More depth. More heft. But
Something’s missing. A grower?
Only time will tell.

AVERSION’S CROWN – XENOCIDE
Down-Under Deathcore.
That doesn’t break the mould but
Still brings the thunder.

I loved “Hollow Planet” from Aversion’s Crown’s previous release. In fact, I cranked it hard but sadly didn’t get the same vibe from the rest of the album (or it might just be that I find a whole album of deathcore a bit too samey, hell, maybe that’s why I like Aegaeon’s Being EP so much… damn, what a revelation I’ve had just typing this out).
But these new tracks are filling the spot nicely – plus, I learnt a new word – ophiophagy. NCS: come for the tunes, learn some shit 🙂
