Artist: Gojira Album Title: Fortitude Label: Roadrunner Records Date of Release: 30 April 2021 The award for idiot of the decade has been won.

Artist: Hideous Divinity Album Title: LV-426 Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 23 April 2021 If ever there was a way for a band to ingratiate themselves with me, it would not be to create an EP based on the ‘Alien’ films.

Artist: Benthos Album Title: II Label: Eclipse Records Date of Release: 23 April 2021 I’ve had this record for a couple of months at least and yet I’m late bringing this review to you.

Artist: Morrigu Album Title: In Turbulence Label: Ghost Sound Media Date of Release: 23 April 2021 If ever there was an apt album title, it’s this. ‘In Turbulence’ easily describes the history of a band that have suffered an inordinate amount over the years.

Artist: Mother Of All Album Title: Age Of The Solipsist Label: Black Lion Records Date of Release: 23 April 2021 Black Lion Records is a label with which I am becoming ever more familiar.
