Three Steps Back
What the hell? Never expected to see these perennially-overlooked HYHC bruisers back at it, and I certainly would never have hoped for a comeback album this full of vitality, elbow-throwing vigor and upbeat, caffeinated old-school fire.

Desolation of Eden
This is not good. Though deathcore has become the new "nu metal" to the traditionalist head banger, there are bands out there that that do it quite well and that write music with an ear toward the maintenance of aggression without any sacrifice of suitable songwriting dynamics.
