Review: The Mercury Tree – Self Similar

The Mercury Tree are single-handedly counterbalancing all the sellout bands out there by being so defiantly uncommercial.

You could just go around the gates… th-there aren’t any walls.

After an arid summer, The Circle are awakening the good releases

Not structurally sound enough to be ridden over Niagara Falls.

The only album this year, possibly ever, to feature flamenco, turntables, calypso, pirate jigs, and funk.

More bands should sound like if Thrice went super proggy and a bit jazzy

The beacon glows brighter…

Rannoch sound better than ever on this brutal and beautiful breakthrough

An instructive case study in how not to write music.

We’re in the doldrums, guys. The winds of progressive metal do not blow this summer.
