Review: Aeternam – Heir of the Rising Sun
The rise and fall of empires is no easy topic to tackle, yet Aeternam write of the rise of the Ottomans with aplomb and ceaseless heart-stopping moments.
Review: Flame Imperishable – Glory and Ruin
Fantasy themed progressive power metal for all of you Stormlight Archive fans who also love prog.
Review: Entheogen – Transmogrify
A curious album full of missteps and a lack of passion in the delivery.
Review: An Abstract Illusion – Woe
A sophomore album so massive it took two reviewers to conquer it!
Review: Zemeth – Loneliness
Another day, another underrated Japanese guitar god slinging out hot neo-romantic solos. It’s like if Galneryus were high on caffeine and had harsh vocals.
Review: Aronious – Irkalla
The slinky dissonance of Aethereus collides with the technicality of the Deviant Process at a million miles per hour. This is The Artisan Era-core to a tee.
Review: Xenoglyph – Spiritfraud
Warning us from another planet about technology’s imminent rise to overtake humanity, Xenoglyph write twisting black metal certain to appeal to fans of the genre’s more dissonant leanings.
Review: Marlugubre – Maladie
Have you ever wondered what a band trying their hardest to emulate 90s Opeth would sound like?
Review: Bonus – Disyuntiva
Power metal with harsh vocals just doesn’t work too well, but Disyuntiva is a fun album from a new band.
Review: Bríi – Corpos Transparentes
“Rhythm is everything” states Caio Lemos: He provides on Corpos Transparentes, one of the most unique and well composed albums you will hear this year.
