Kicking off the new year with a myriad of releases for pretty much everyone. If this is any indication, 2022 is going to be another lush year for releases.
Apes – Lullabies For Eternal Sleep EP - Grindecore
Not the lullaby we all deserved, but the lullaby we all needed to kick off 2022 with absolute ferocity. This death metal infused grindecore eviscerator offers up a healthy dose of nihilism and misanthropy, and is just devastatingly heavy as it crosses genre boundaries without care. Apes looked at extremity and just simply said “YES!”

Infected Rain – Ecdysis - Progressive Groove Metal
Synthy, groovy, ferocious, and all the things in between, Infected Rain are a force to be reckoned with. Their highly anticipated 5th album is poised to be one of the breakout albums of the year. The rhythm is progressive without losing its catchiness, the vocals are balanced and emotive, the melodies captivating - this is just one of THOSE albums - give it a spin or 10.

Nocturnal Graves – An Outlaws Stand - Death/Thrash
Nocturnal Graves stand true ot their name on this heavy hitting, but very bleak, trashy album that crosses the barriers between black metal, death metal and thrash. There is a little something for all fans of the all out bash fest that is those genres.

Power Paladin – With The Magic Of Windfyre Steel - Power Metal
I would be remiss in not including something at least a LITTLE bit fun to kick off the new year. Power Paladin is, as you probably guessed, playing fantasy infused power metal akin to DragonForce in style, but with wizards and dragons and stuff. Seriously, just kick back and enjoy this romp with the elves. Also suitable for a fast hitting montage wherein you need to become an expert swordfighter.

Seven Nines And Tens – Over Opiated In A Forest Of Whispering Speakers - Post-Rock
I haven’t forgotten, it's still winter and we still need some chill moments (pun intended). This relaxing little diddy is the third full-length from Vancouver-based post/rock metal outfit Seven Nines And Tens and is perfect for a long rainy drive or just chilling at home.

Wilderun – Epigone - Progressive Metal
Ethereal and spacey with elements of progressive, black, and folk metal, Wilderun have created an odyssey of an album. The borderline power metal vocals at times, create a certain level of ambiance not always present in more progressive albums. This album is one to take your time and digest.
