Hailing from Tijuana Mexico, Omision is a crushing death/thrash ensemble featuring past and present members of Sadistic Intent and Infinitum Obscure (to be featured soon). They possess a great old school sound reminiscent of bands like Bolt Thrower, Benediction & Incantation. They signed to Chaos Records of Mexico shortly after their deal with Asphyxiate Records ended due to the record label going under. Omision are truly masters of combining the guttural vocals and speed of traditional death metal with equally thrashy riffs. Overall, an outstanding effort for fans of this genre.

" Iron " Bob Fouts is an icon in the Indianapolis Metal Undergroung having graced his presence in " Gates Of Slumber", " Apostle of Solitude" etc. Here he takes on an alter ego " Bile" and this is his black metal project featuring members of other bands including " Skeletonwitch" and " Demiricous". However, contrary to what ONE CRITIC reviewed this Ep in the Metal Archives, this is really a great release and if you like black metal this will appeal to you as well. This has great moments in it and the tempo changes are what keeps your attention rather it be doomy, thrashy, or just some ass kicking riffs. Sanguine Moon is the highlight.

Dan Lilker ( Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, Stormtroopers OF Death, Fuckin Brutal Truth)
likes black metal. He likes it so much he teamed up with the black metal underground of New York to create Hemlock in the late 90's. This is nothing new- but it has atmosphere and it has that CBGB punk attitude that makes it a good addition to any black metal catalog. Tim Tebow would shit his pants if he heard this- check it out.

We are going back in time to 1998 when three guys from Mexico released the last Death Metal masterpiece of that era. The Chasm released "Deathcult" and the genre of death metal was changed forever- dabbling with black metal vocals, riffs after riffs, harmonies, melodies and an depressive atmosphere. If there were a genre called DSDM ( Depressive Death Metal) - The Chasm would be at the top. This is one release where you just don't listen to one track - you have to absorb it. Got an hour to spare.. check it out.

Chicago's " Cult Of Daath" is a mid-paced old school black metal trip through blasphemy and depravity. You can hear the band's influences throughout mostly in the vein of Dark Throne- but these guys can create memorable riffs and catchy lyrics that make the whole trip worth taking. It will very hard to find something to fault on this release and has the capacity for repeated listens. Check it out
