No one has mentioned anything about The Body & Full of Hell, so I will...it's pretty good. More of what you'd expect, but they've amped up the electronic feedback and it's all sounding like a wonderful cyberpunk dystopia. I think maybe I'm beginning to tire of The Body guy's vocals though

TIE82 Dreadnought - A Wake in Sacred Waves 116.0 Points, 4 Voteshttp://www.angrymetalguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/dreadnoughtcover-500x500.jpghttps://open.spotify.com/album/4seSirz4qfUvkYDQqbhRPD?si=LAwRN_DeQaeYjAlxWqoYXw
On its brilliant boundary-annihilating upcoming third full-length A Wake in Sacred Waves — out vial Sailor Records in October — Denver quartet Dreadnought delivers a deftly executed, completely entrancing sonic amalgamation that calls to mind everything from Bergtatt-era Ulver, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Kate Bush to Slint, June of ’44, and Sabbath at its psychedelic doom-iest. This particular brand of Rocky Mountain High has got the raining-fire-in-the-sky blast beats, guttural vocals, and fuzzed out nasty riffs, yes, but also serious post-punk groove and softer-than-a-lullabye ethereal croons, mandolin, flute, and saxophone.
82 Obituary - Obituary 116.0 Points, 4 Voteshttps://media.pitchfork.com/photos/5929c1f9ea9e61561daa7e6f/1:1/w_320/558dd4cf.jpghttps://open.spotify.com/album/07xZ3ekk1HHTTdoYSwlGsm?si=pbLFg-lISsq0wl0SHxtftA
Some of Obituary’s best work has come from letting flashiness creep in. In 1990, for example, Cause of Death had its sludge punctured by James Murphy’s divebombs and neoclassically-influenced soloing. That album contained their most developed songwriting in terms of leads. Likewise, thanks to Ken Andrews’ lead work here, Obituary is their most energetic record since reforming in 2003 (they originally disbanded in ’97). On “shredder” records, the disconnect between the fireworks of the guitarist and the tepid rhythm section can be jarring. But Peres and Donald’s strong foundation keeps that from happening.

Wiegedood means 'cradle death' btw, album title is aptly 'The dead have it good'. Good to see it place, I forgot to vote for it.

The Wiegedood is way more intricate and uptempo than I was expecting! I'm liking it a lot so far.

80 Succumb - Succumb 118.0 Points, 4 Voteshttps://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3799906335_16.jpghttps://open.spotify.com/album/1rVN0ivyBmCfg74LTJl9QH?si=klkJglhFQcmD9QzkfScIbQ
There’s no one simple riff here on this album to spur highlight reels. The riffs are somewhat progressive, and dissonant, so black metal fans will raise eyebrows with the rung notes and tremolo-picked riffs, death metal fans will headbang to the sound of shredding and blastbeats, while metalcore and doom fans will also find slower sections and chugging riffs to love. Forget what you thought you hated about these various sub-genre elements. Put together in the way Succumb does here, they make no simple fodder for a small scene of metal pundits. All bow down to Succumb’s mighty thunder. Their self-titled album is not a hitmaker or two or three track wonder. Apart from Venenum’s Trance of Death, it is modern metal’s most exciting release this 2017.

The Cannibal Corpse and Obituary records are both very good; the Obituary is definitely better.
That Zeal & Ardor record is so bad and misguided.

79 Creeper - Eternity, In Your Arms 119.0 Points, 3 Voteshttps://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_500/MI0004/248/MI0004248405.jpghttps://open.spotify.com/album/4Q3AGdThgRrZmYaFtDbWmP?si=uV3-FwstS6Cgzd2QZLG4jg
The much-anticipated full-length debut from the English goth-punk collective, Eternity, in Your Arms arrives after a three-year build-up that saw Creeper honing their Alkaline Trio-meets-the Damned blend of glam rock and post-hardcore-kissed horror-punk in sweaty halls and drink ticket-strewn green rooms. While all of the Misfits, A-Trio, and AFI comparisons are apt, what Creeper has that those giants of bar-chord brooding lack is a keen sense for the pageantry of rock & roll, and it's that propensity for almost Meat Loaf-worthy grandeur that makes Eternity, in Your Arms so consistently compelling. It's a world where pit-worthy, minor-chord verses almost always yield fist-pumping, arms-around-your-mates choruses, and that the proceedings are shepherded by a pair of charismatic vocalists (frontman Will Gould and keyboardist/backing vocalist Hannah Greenwood), makes things all the more spellbinding. With Eternity, in Your Arms, Creeper have truly proven themselves masters of the dark arts, as they've managed to create something as genuinely inspired as it is stylistically derivative.
