Okay, I’ll admit it. We were a little quiet last year and definitely neglected our monthly picks article! However, we’re back and ready to recommend some of the albums we liked best from January 2020.

Consistently excellent, Dead End Finland’s fourth album is another mighty offering from the band. Powerful vocals, excellent synthesised lines and an overall fantastic heaviness to it all, what’s not to like?

Dave’s Picks
In the immortal words of Abbath “[…] fuck’s this?”
Thy Catafalque – Naiv
Track to check out: Tsitsushka
Our review: https://www.soundscapemagazine.com/thy-catalfalque-naiv-review/
Purchase link: https://thycatafalqueuk.bandcamp.com/album/naiv
With the popularity of metal and every c-word (-apitalist) and their Mum wanting in on the gig there has been an influx of homogenised drivel splurting out of every gutiar neck that dreamt of sex, draugen and rock and roll since Seps. But was I ever blown away to hear this etymologicaly divergent record. I am not going to stand back up (from being floored by this album) though as I would rather continue to enjoy this album without having to contest its brilliance.
Brothers of Metal – Emblas Saga
Track to check out: Kaunaz Dagaz
