On album number six ("Issue VI"),DEW-SCENTED churns out another quality modern thrash...July 2, 2005

Reclaim the Beat
DEFLESHED has been in existence for well over a decade with several releases to their name. Presumably, "Reclaim the Beat" would represent the culmination of those years of honing songwriting skills and improving musicianship. This is not good.

Undoing Ruin
I like what DARKEST HOUR has done on "Undoing Ruin", the follow-up to the excellent "Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation".
