Review: Lascaille’s Shroud – Othercosmic Divinations II
Blog recurring artist Lascaille’s Shroud come out with a release that’s both a continuation of their discography and isn’t.
Review: Atvm – Famine, Putrid and Fucking Endless
A refreshingly unique take on death metal, offering playful riffs and outstanding bass. Unpretentious but undeniably technical, with ideas that are allowed to really, fully develop, in a way that breeds an almost psychedelic atmosphere without reliance on any tropes of the ‘psychedelic’ label. The mix is pristine, the songwriting is excellent. This is absolutely fucking fantastic.
Review: Neptunian Maximalism – Solar Drone Ceremony
A beast of a drone / doom metal / free jazz single segment cosmic trip of nearly an hour long.
Review: Vokonis – Odyssey
A treat of groovy fuzz and delicious pancakes.
Review: Blackshape – Blackshape
Accurately self-proclaimed “Heavy, beautiful math”
Review: Poverty’s No Crime – A Secret to Hide
The most by the numbers album you will likely find in the area of early 2000s style traditional progressive metal.
Review: Voronoi – The Last Three Seconds
A good jazzy effort that sadly misses the mark.
Review: Keor – Tearoom
This sounds like Keor dropped acid and wrote down and recorded everything that came to his mind during a long night in a cave somewhere.
Review: Subterranean Masquerade – Mountain Fever
You want fun? You wanna dance? Listen to this!!
Review: Stone Healer – Conquistador
An unlikely but outstanding combination of Opethian grunge and blackened mindfuckery that’s honest, soulful, and relentlessly engaging.
