Review: Papangu – Holoceno
An incredibly musically ambitious album that is executed as well as it is envisioned. 7 years in the making, Holoceno combines progressive sludge metal with elements of avant garde and zeuhl.
Review: Endless Chain – Forthcoming Past
A mournful gothic solo project lamenting the passing of time, and the inevitability of death.
Review: Temenigru – Terminal
Terminal is filled with great ideas, but it scarcely gives any of them the time they deserve.
Review: ME REX – Megabear
An interesting experiment that doesn’t entirely pan out
Review: Seventh Dimension – Black Sky
Seventh Dimension is a melodic prog metal outfit from Sweden. Coming off the back of a two hour album, can this shorter effort improve upon their previous shortcomings? Find out!
Review: Polars Collide – Grotesque
The best groove metal album to come out over the past couple years. This is will please headbangers and Meshuggah fans alike.
Review: Code – Flyblown Prince
Rough around the edges, but a refreshingly progressive and atmospheric black metal beast
Review: Alustrium – A Moment to Silence
A modern, melodic take on traditional progressive death metal
Review: Epiphanic Truth – Dark Triad: Bitter Psalms To A Sordid Species
Fantastically textured and structured avant release with a lot to offer.
Review: Mindpatrol – Ikaria
An ambitious release, with no drought of classic progressive metal tropes.
