Sijjin explores a varied style of underground extreme metal specifically when death metal and thrash metal were intertwined.
‘Rat°God’ is the most characteristic death metal album released this year. Its distinctive songwriting style accurately displays what the Floridian bands achieved back in time.
“Royal Destroyer” somehow embodies all that The Crown has achieved in the past with some impressive scathingly brutal tracks!
Enforced released with ‘Kill Grid’ a killer of an album with influences of death metal, thrash metal and hardcore!
Thrash/death powerhouse Nervosa is back with a vengeance. With a brand new lineup and a blistering new album.
