Review: James Norbert Ivanyi – Omen Faustum
A dark instrumental prog album that can hold its own.
Review: Convulsif – Extinct
Imagine spinning a wheel with 8 genres on it, the wheel breaking, and deciding you can probably get a bit of each of them into an instrumental album just to be safe.
Review: Gargoyl – Gargoyl
Here is that love child of Alice in Chains and Opeth that you didn’t know you needed.
Review: The Reticent – The Oubliette
A uniquely harrowing look into Alzheimer’s disease, The Oubliette is an emotional progressive metal powerhouse
Review: Holmgang Ov Gensokyo – NIGHT FESTIVAL OF TEN-THOUSAND DEMONS
A killer Touhou metal record that shows off exceptional musical creativity while still retaining the best parts of the original tracks.
Review: Bound – Haunts
Melancholy, dense shoegaze that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
Review: White Walls – Grandeur
A surprisingly tasteful slice of melodic and progressive metal from Romania.
Review: Entropy Created Consciousness – Antica Memoria Di Dis: Acheron & Lethe
Atmospheric, well made Black Metal which has restored this reviewer’s faith in the genre.
Review: Counteractt – Universal Sadness
Come for the pipe organ intro, stay for the deathcore carnage.
Review: Sundr – Solar Ships
An album made for the current moment: Post-Metal that reflects feelings of loneliness and isolation.
