Sonne Adam, Transformation (2011)
A gorgeously dark vista
My review of the debut album from Israel’s Sonne Adam is up now at MetalReview. Popular (underground) consensus seems to be with Necros Christos, but I’ll take Sonne Adam’s more compact and infinitely less dull take on the style any day. Transformation is out now on Century Media Records.

Necros Christos, Doom Of The Occult (2011)
Outstanding artwork. The music, not so much.
My review of the second full-length album from underground German death metal heroes Necros Christos is up now over yonder at Metal Review. Quick preview: Doom Of The Occult is a total snoozefest. I know this album has been very highly anticipated by a certain sector of the metal community, and it’s being released by both Ván Records and the Ajna Offensive, which are generally staunchly consistent standard-bearers for high quality (though generally ultra-serious) black and death metal. Let those facts not blind you to the overwhelming dullness of this album; did you know that Primordial has a new album out this month?
