Neurosis, Watain, Pig Destroyer, and more

It’s been a while since my last reviews update. There’s so much good stuff now, it’s almost overwhelming! At Stylus, I’ve reviewed Cephalic Carnage, Neurosis, Pelican, and Pig Destroyer. At Metal Injection, I’ve reviewed Akercocke, Toxic Bonkers, N.I.L., Deadlock, Merciless Death, Thought Chamber, and Watain.

Neurosis – Water Is Not Enough
Watain – Sworn to the Dark
Akercocke – The Dark Inside
Pig Destroyer – Heathen Temple
Cephalic Carnage – Divination & Volition

The Neurosis album will make my year-end top three. Watain might get up there, too. Akercocke would have stood a chance if not for the horrible hack mastering job. Check out “The Dark Inside” for the drum ‘n’ bass part that drops into the song – random but cool.
