Incinerate

You can almost always count on the Germans to create high value thrash and DEW-SCENTED are about as reliable as it gets.

Gateway

The cold grey album cover of "Gateway" from Finland's PESTIFEROUS speaks volumes of the pitch-black metal in store for the listener. Few would mistake PESTIFEROUS for one of the genre's great ones, but many should applaud the band's better than average assault, which features more than just DARKTHRO...
