Would? (2022 Remaster)
Alice In Chains · Dirt (2022 Remaster)
† Liner note
Alice In Chains' Would?, from Dirt (1992), was written for the late Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone; Dirt is grunge's bleakest album about addiction.

Gorguts · Pleiades' Dust
First Gorguts since Jul 06.

Gorguts' Pleiades' Dust (2016) is a single unbroken thirty-three-minute piece, Luc Lemay pushing death metal about as far into dissonant abstraction as it will go.

Celestial Voyage
Cynic · Focus
First Cynic since Jul 08.
† Liner note
Cynic's Focus (1993) welded death metal to jazz fusion and vocoder vocals, one of the strangest records the genre produced and the seed of a whole prog-death lineage.
20:00
Mentally Murdered
Napalm Death · From Enslavement To Obliteration
† Liner note
Napalm Death, from Birmingham, effectively invented grindcore; From Enslavement to Obliteration (1988) is the genre at its most extreme and briefest.
