Review: Constellatia – Magisterial Romance
Blackgaze with a pretty album cover, cool solos, and some fierce climaxes: what else could you ask for from the genre?
Review: SkyThala – Boreal Despair
A bunch of guys from Tennessee wrote high modern Russian classical??
Review: Collapse Astral – Dans la Vallée des Astres
The intro lured me in to thinking there would be a more experimental album within, but this is a reasonable debut outing.
Review: Obsidious – Iconic
The Dilivium boys are back!!
Review: Dry River – Cuarto Creciente
ROCK IS NOT DEAD!
Review: Gonemage – Handheld Demise
What was originally intended to scare my peers ended up hurting my ears; however, Gonemage still have a relatively unique take on avant garde black metal worth trying for as long as you can stand it.
Review: Godeater – Vespera
With more focus on the tech, this deathcore band could shred their way to Xenobiotic levels of cool.
Review: Virtual Symmetry – Virtual Symmetry
Sometimes a return to my origin–bread and butter prog metal–is all I need.
Review: Secludja – Stilled
Be’Lakor’s own pianist’s solo album, a wonderful trip into minimalist piano. It’s as sure to calm you down as it is to put you to sleep.
Review: Vauruvã – Por Nós da Ventania
Centered around a deep appreciation of the natural world, this album is both beautiful and vicious improvised black metal by none other than Caio Lemos–the man behind Bríi and Kaatayra.
