0:25-7:52 GRIMA (Russia) The Nightside — Grima was my #2 album of 2022. A messy and bloody vocalist in a romantic, howling beast of black metal album.  

9:00-15:05 SEPULCHRAL CURSE (Finland) House Of The Black Moon — Builds from lumbering, languid and melancholy to a powerhouse of brutal black and death that is savagely groovy. 

15:24-21:24 VACUOUS (UK) No Longer Human — A moody death hellhole with rhythmic syncopations in a disturbed atmosphere.

21:52-26:28 CROWN OF MADNESS (CAN) Ashes Of Mine — Melodic death incorporates bleak strains of guitar and blasts of drums and rich, emotional instrumentation. 

26:48-30:06 CLOAKROOM (IN) Ester Wind — Nostalgic indie with an angelic vocalist that brings modernity within stoner distortion.  

30:28-34:40 METAPHOBIC (GA) Execration — Debut album with deliciously harmonized blast beats and riffs in a chunky, crushing death. 

35:03-40:58 CELESTIAL SCOURGE (Norway) Assembling Deformities — Vocal range in a superbly chaotic technical death that unravels to proggy beats and noodling.

41:20-48:54 LIGHT DWELLER (AZ) Adrift The Expanding Nothingness — Angular, complex death with vocals ripping out the throat. 

49:16-55:00 GRAVE INFESTATION (CAN) Black Widow — A filthy death of swirling brutal badassery.

55:14- INGROWN (ID) Enemy — Muscular hardcore and filthy death with hella beatdowns.
