Opeth - Paragraph 3 https://youtu.be/7Ph5o3xpJ_8 This record is going to be great.

Vígundr - Grógaldr https://youtu.be/BX5jRQAYfq4 another Heilung clone… this one seems much better.

Entheos - A Thousand Days https://youtu.be/rttDAatSAIc much more blasty than their last outing… it will grow on you.

Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine https://youtu.be/SRXH9AbT280 Feels very Meteora. Those lyrics just CUT though.
