Mordrake
Someone at UNIQUE LEADER deserves a medal for the insane number of killer bands that the label has been pushing over the last few years. The current rude health of the death metal scene can definitely be attributed, in part, to the advancement of bands like XENOBIOTIC: obvious students of the post-m...February 25, 2020

Cycle Of Suffering
As modern metal flails around in a cynical mess of its own making, the return of SYLOSIS is something to be cheered from rooftops.

Quadra
Heavy metal's atavistic instincts are undoubtedly among its finer qualities, but resistance to change can also lead to some major missing out. SEPULTURA have been making great records with frontman Derrick Green for well over two decades now, and while there will always be a small faction among the...February 7, 2020
