Review: Pentesilea Road – Pentesilea Road
Death, taxes, and melodic prog from Italy.
Review: Starscape – Colony
A progressive sci-fi take on classic 80s heavy metal.
Review: Kaupe – Cognitive Dissonance
Fun, bite-sized instrumental pieces from the depths of Florida.
Review: Sunnata – Burning in Heaven, Melting on Earth
Hazy, stoner/psych-rock within massively satisfying post-metal structures.
Review: Turbulence – Frontal
A gripping traditional prog metal concept album with a familiar, yet unique sound.
Review: Ad Nauseam – Imperative Imperceptible Impulse
Impeccably written discordant, atonal chaos: impenetrable, oppressive, and heckin’ brilliant.
Review: Cave of Swimmers – Aurora
A progressive metal album that is actually safe to show to friends and family? This tightly packed album excels in its energetic rhythm and shower-worthy hooks.
Review: Heyoka’s Mirror – The Uninvited King
A very zany prog metal album that will surely take you by surprise!
Review: Demoniac – So It Goes
Chilean thrashers Demoniac begin the year with an absolute ripper of an album, with a few unique twists guaranteed to make your head bang.
Review: The Lylat Continuum – Ephemeral
Literally drifting through space, watching the world burn, awaiting your demise. One can either seek bliss or turn to madness.
