Review: Wounded Knee – 122 Lune
Italian progressive metal veterans Wounded Knee return after some time with the album 122 Lune. Not trying to break new ground, the album makes for an engaging listen but can sometimes feel a bit derivative.
Review: Anarchÿ – Sentïence
Anarchÿ’s first full-length is complex, aggressive, and melodic, and contains a nearly 32-minute thrash metal epic. Sentïence truly is an album like few others.
Review: Firtan – Marter
Firtan express bleak lyrical prose in a way only the German language can convey and combine it with a somber atmospheric black metal tonality.
Review: Condemned-AD – Follow a Failing Leader
Condemned-AD delivers an energetic thrash metal ride that certainly entertains, but that teases a measure of complexity it fails to ever really develop.
Review: VENUS – Project Lamda
Greek thrash metallers VENUS bring to life their first release Project Lamda with a high-intensity, technical ferocity.
Review: Dusk Chapel – Astrophysics And Abnormal Activities
A complex and intricate release, Dusk Chapel’s Astrophysics And Abnormal Activities finds its place firmly among established names in the genre.
Review: Riverwood – Shadows And Flames
Egyptian progressive/folk metal outfit Riverwood’s sophomore album Shadows And Flames is a bombastic release with many moving parts, but one that ultimately leaves you wishing for more.
