8. The Pentagram
9. Autem
10. Quadra
11. Agony Of Defeat
12. Fear Pain Chaos Suffering

15th album by Sepultura. It is a concept album, based on numerology, the quadrivium and the meaning of the number four. 'Quadra' is a 12-piece thrash fury which keeps the listener at the edge of their seat. It is surely more than simply thrash and it aims higher than your average, albeit classy, albums within this genre.

The album is more close to the last Master’s albums with fast and small length tracks, with clever use of blast beats, a few but to the point guitar leads and the great Paul’s spitting vocals.

18. Colon-Blo

Debut album by Cattle Decapitation. Stylistically the 18 tracks on the 18:49 minutes long release, are pretty raw and noisy grindcore with politically charged and gory animal rights/anti-human lyrics. The sound production is raw and unpolished, but still clearly professional. The musicianship is solid too, and all in all 'Human Jerky' is a decent first label release by Cattle Decapitation.

11th album by Abigor. It is an album that largely feels like a lost 90s classic. The keyboards are back in a big way. Usual members PK and TT are once again joined by Summoning's Silenius on vocals, and he has truly stretched himself to be more out-there than ever, a collection of deranged shrieks, yells and howls that go far beyond the expected performance.

6th album by Mork Gryning, 15 years after their last one. The riffs are fast and icy, the drumming rapid, and the melodies sufficiently pronounced to provide a certain amount of accessibility. Their music sounds calm and satisfyingly melodic, but with a brutish force of black metal aggression, and their simple structural side made the material visibly appealing without need of progressive over-complication.

Beyond the sheer speed and technicality on display, it has a decidedly melodic aspect, making it more than just a shred-fest. Vocalist James Randel (previously with Oliver Magnum) has a voice that could go from the typical sharp thrash style to a powerful high-pitched wail when necessary.
