Megadeth – TH1RT3EN (2011:Roadrunner)

Same old Mustaine tricks
same been there heard that response
fine, but not special

Korpiklaani – Ukon Wacka (2011: Nuclear Blast)

Assembly line churns
fast - songs not quite true-crafted
fun, pales to whole past

Death – The Sound of Perseverance (2011: Relapse – a reissue of 1998: Nuclear Blast)

More godly tech skills
densely-layered, no let up
another classic

Wo Fat – Noche del Chupacabra (2011: Nasoni)

Funky stoner fuzz
lurches and buzzes non stop
nearly bogs too down

Satyricon – Rebel Extravaganza (2006: Nuclear Blast – a reissue of 1999: Moonfog)

Strangely sedate for
blaspheme seemingly put forth;
lightest shade black comes

Heidevolk – De Strijdlust Is Geboren (2005: Napalm)

Dutch folk done cleanly
call it Týr with verve or swerve
not for all, just clan
