Soil 045: Vitriolic Sage (惡毒賢者) (Chn) - "Feuerschlucker" Tape
- With Feuershlucker, the mysterious one-man-stormtrooper Vitriolic Sage has officially cemented his standing as one of the most crucial pillar stones of contemporary Chinese Melodic Black Metal. Building off of the craftsmanship he had already solidified in his previous output Ascension, VS continued his unmistakable approach of ravaging and hellish melodicism in Feuershlucker --- one would find its songwriting more abstract and delirious, even hinting at times the all-out berserk unleashing of mathcore-inspired rhythms, in tune with the increasingly oblique themes of linguistic chaos, without forfeiting his renowned composition style of atrocious consistency.

Soil 038: Karner (Aut) - "Untam Liacht Tota Stern" Tape
- A ritualistic expression of black death darkness whose polished production allows each measure of the mix to shine in malefic misery; varied spell composition, sombre despair atmospherics, dedicated tremolo melodics, mature percussive mastery and rasping vocal oration, all providing an experience to satiate the hunger of even the most greedy of grim glutton acolytes.
