Review: Oak Pantheon – The Absence

In an attempt to infuse every metal genre into one, Oak Pantheon managed to craft an okay album.

A wildly ambitious debut release results in an inconsistent album

Devenial Verdict has brought me one to step closer to imagining my perfect death metal album.

In their pursuit to emulate the almighty Gojira, YNK forgot to define a sound for themselves.

Xenobiotic’s new brutally heavy EP shows great promise for the band’s future!

An hour of heavy metal infused black metal turns out to be way too much of a good thing.

Feeling worn out from the endless stream of bands riding the cutting edge of death metal? IT may be for you.

Avowed as Pariah’s “distorted, vicious, and bold mirror reflection”, does SALQIU’s most recent release have what it takes to stand on its own?

While maybe unpalatable to first-time listeners, Pariah unfurls into a beautiful tapestry of avant-garde black metal with repeated listens.

A passable assortment of much-too-similar songs that fail to make an impact
