Immortal Bird - Empress/Abscess (2015)Release ID: 12485
Powerful riffing coupled with the barely contained angst and fury of Rae Amitay's vocal delivery make for an adrenaline-pumping half-hour that has barely been matched all year. The two or three short quieter interludes, such as the intro to Saprophyte and the piano break in To a Watery Grave only serve to highlight the aggression of the rest of the album. Definitely one of the metal albums of 2015.
