7 Horns 7 Eyes - Convalescence

7 Horns 7 Eyes's Convalescence EP is available on the Basick Records Bandcamp. This is progressive metal with terrific playing, mixing a lot of different genres. As Islander from No Clean Singing put it:

Every time we hear them, we adjust the description of their music, but we think we’ve just about got it down now: technical, somewhat blackened, melodic mathcore progressive death metal. Got that?

Ulcerate - The Destroyers of All

The Destroyers of All is a worthy followup to Ulcerate's previous album Everything Is Fire. It's post-death metal with blistering drumming and remorseless growls submerged in a sea of creeping, dissonant guitar riffs. Here are two reviews from AllMusic and Teeth of the Divine.
