June in review

It was a great month for metal. June 2010 saw the release of the new Black Tusk album, "Taste the Sin," 1349's "Demonoir," "Of Death and Ritual" by Culted, "Napalm" by Rotten Sound, the new Misery Index album "Heirs to Thievery", and HowL's "Full of Hell." "Taste the Sin" was the gem of the month, playing the Savannah metal song in a way that groups them with groups like Kylesa and Baroness but doesn't make them sound like cheap rip-offs. Saucy's Second Chance: "Heirs to Thievery" can seem like musical masturbation for grindcore kids on a casual listen but upon retrospection it can be seen that its an awesome album with sick riffs and consistent songwriting.
