2nd album by Bat. There's been a bit of a change from the black/thrashing mania of the debut to a more focused speedfest with a good dose of melody riding atop the ripping guitars and barking vocals. There’s just a bit more punk and a few slower, ominous sections to break things up, but this remains a fast and to the point heavy metal album at its core.

5th album by Necrowretch. It sees Necrowretch incorporating some melodic passages to their already brutal blackened death metal sound. While this album is well-played and quite violent sounding, the group never forgets the melodic and catchy moments, which adds to the memorable factor.
