I really like the lead singles `Deer Teeth` and `Kepko`, in fact I think these two are the tracks that really stand out in the end - the other tracks are also pretty good but I don't think they're as thoroughly developed as the two lead singles. + + Release date: 2017-06-16 + + [8.0/10] + +## Bongripper - Empty + + ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3684188477_16.jpg) + + The heaviest band on earth is back. + + Release date: 1969-06-06 + + [7.8/10] + +## Leon Vynehall - Music for the Uninvited + + ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1315260092_16.jpg) + + Deep house.

This one feels more forced than their previous albums. It features a lot more sax, folk guitars and even a little bit of Dream Theater-ish synth solos but they all sound kind of out of place. + + Release date: 2024-01-12 + + [6.3/10] + +## Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To + + ![](https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3381223303_16.jpg) + + I don't get the hype around this album.
