0:25-4:32 NECROWRETCH (France) Numidian Knowledge — Alien rasped vocals in a groovy black metal with heavy metal guitars that build into frenetic and sinister swarms. 

5:38-10:19 BAAZLVAAT (MI) THE DARK MATTER STARGATE — Lowfi, proggy black metal that is theatrical, playful and strange.  Don't underestimate this! 

10:46-16:34 BIPOLAR ARCHITECTURE (GER) Death of The Architect — Another German masterpiece, this one is a proggy post-metal that explodes into cold black metal riffs. 

17:04-20:59 EXOCRINE (France) Life — Muscle bulging tech death with extraordinary moments of space.  

21:22-29:05 HAUNTOLOGIST (Poland) Hollow — Lush post-black with swoon-worthy vocals and prominent melancholy, sweet tones.

38:26-42:20 COGNIZANCE (UK) Chiselled in Stone — Wild flying guitars and a precise drum in a dynamic tech death. 

42:41-48:15 DEADYELLOW (Philly) What Are You Waiting For In Order To Give In — Yes, to the headbang. Fist-tightening groove, but still complex with gorgeous instrumentals.

48:47-56:07 SPECTRAL VOICE (Denver) Sinew Censer — So excited to see this album live.  Crushing death and an intensely heated vocal.   

56:40-END RHÛN (Maine) Howl of Gleaming Swords — RHÛN - members of Falls of Rauros – is exactly what you expect from Portland, Maine: cold, stylish black metal with a smokey vocal.
