This week Roots recaps up the very active year 2018 and the year’s rich payoff of strong debut offerings. Join us in praise of new traditionalists Haunt; black metal innovators Gaerea and Møl; death metal devils Ripped to Shreds and Morbid Illusion; doomsters Witch Ripper; metallized hardcore hitters Vein and Primal Rite; Texas melodic death metal masters Hinayana (pictured); new bands from the extreme veterans in Septic Tank and Born to Murder This World; and many others. Death to 2018—make room for new faces in 2019!
