Mekong Delta - In A Mirror Darkly

Genre: Progr.Heavy/Thrash
Country: Germany
Year: 2014



1. Introduction
2. Ouverture

7. Hindsight Bias
8. Mutant Messiah

The 11th album by Mekong Delta is a true testament to the songwriting abilities of Ralf Hubert and crew, delivering all the core elements you would otherwise expect from a Mekong Delta release. Their unique mixture of thrash metal with more technical and nerdy prog elements is exciting and brings forth promising new fields in both genres.

Ranger - Where Evil Dwells

Genre: Speed/Heavy
Country: Finland
Year: 2015



1. Defcon 1
2. Deadly Feast
3. Phantom Soldier
4. Dead Zone
5. Black Circle
6. Where Evil Dwells
7. Storm Of Power

Debut album by Ranger. The high-speed guitar riffing is nonstop, the rough but clean vocals are repeatedly punctuated by high-pitched screams and the lyrics are a jumbled mix of satanism and both nuclear and conventional warfare. You could argue that the production is a let-down, being a bit basic, but I think it adds to the whole feel of the album, it just feels right. It definitely deserves a spot in this year's top albums.

9. Hell Will Follow
10. Mask Of Red Death

4th album by Enforcer. Many bands like this are carried by the vocals, but Enforcer is increasingly a slave to the guitar power of Wikstrand and Joseph Tholl. The riffs are plenty and bountiful throughout this incredible incarnation of heavy metal worship with some awesome solos that are executed with startling precision.

The riffing brings in mind thrash/death bands from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, like Death, Pestilence, Sadus, etc. and the modern Vektor and Besieged. Give them a chance!
