DREADFrom This World To The Next Self-released (2018)Rating: 7/10 What a strange little record this is. Dread – originally hailing from New Mexico, but now relocated in Los Angeles – almost promised a straight up thrash outing, but instead have puked up a catchy, melodic metal opus of Judas Priest design laced with pacier roughness.

GRUESOMETwisted Prayers Relapse (2018)Rating: 8.5/10 What more can be said about Gruesome? The Death worship, as expected, continues with Twisted Prayers; the second full-length offering from this U.S. force.
