[2011] Grayceon - All We Destroy

After 3 years of This Grand Show and during a period where we didn't really know if the band was going to release new material, All We Destroy comes and surprises us with a more intense, rougher delivery, a nice departure from the softer, melancholic style of This Grand Show. Along with their trademark style we get a very upbeat rhythm throughout the whole album, still allowing the omnipresent cello to have its own space within the songs. Great album, which hopefully won't get under the rug, since it's excellent, grows on me at every new listen.

[2010] Stargazer - A Great Work of Ages

Rawer than A Scream That Tore The Sky, after 5 years we get this fine release, in which this tech/avantgarde death metal band from Australia incorporates vocals and a faster, more structured sound than how it used to be. It was certainly a surprise to me how good it sounded from the very first song, at first I feared the bass wasn't going to be as prominent as their previous full length, but luckily I was wrong; the bass assaults you from the second and third song onwards and truly breaks through the compositions, turning into a main highlight.
You cannot miss this, only from time to time one gets excellent releases like this one. It makes up for the lack of Gorguts this year, I can assure you.
