INDIGO “THERE’S ONLY YOU” Swing City Records From one of my top five favorite labels comes another wonderful gem of soulful loving, breakin’ down the true sounds of quality house: Indigo. It was produced by Martin “Mayhem” Ikin (worked with Tom Gianelli on Soul Purpose Records) with his Indigo project for the three release on
ISZOLOSCOPE LES GORGES DES LIMBES Ant Zen 4/5 To celebrate the five-year anniversary of Iszoloscope, Yann Faussurier has a five-track treat—Les Gorges Des Limbes.

Impaled Death After Life Century Media Records As I scraped shredded meat off of the scalpels and saws on my block, I noticed the pus oozing from the new Impaled disc. Pathological waste in the form of oozing riffage at once encrusted my eardrums. It was at this point that I deduced the flesh-shredding
Incendiant Self-Titled Jordan River Entertainment Street: 07.15 Insentient = Morbid Angel + Immolation + Death Incendiant have a progressive vibe on this album and every song is inherently different. Incendiant’s songwriting ability is uncanny. From album opener “Night of a Thousand Kives,” pulverizing as it grooves, or the just plain brutal blasting of “Collapse of

I think naming their EP New Original Dance was a pretty bold move by InFiction. There really isn’t too much of anything that is original on this track list.
