Sannhet: So Numb
Without changing their identity, Sannhet travels deep within their core to further progress their unclassifiable sound on So Numb.
Graves at Sea: The Curse That Is
Graves at Sea have been around for over a decade and sound like they have spent most of it surviving a prolonged bar fight with the actual sea in their band name.
All Them Witches: Dying Surfer Meets His Maker
For all its variety, this is a damn fine rock album, plain and simple.

KEN Mode: Success
A little anti-social rage never hurt anybody.
