Review: Growth – The Smothering Arms of Mercy
A claustrophobic exploration of hope and suffering through tight, ferocious death metal.
Review: Dawnwalker – Ages
Emotionally gripping post-metal with tasteful, varied song-writing.
Review: Cryptodira – The Angel of History
A wonderful, well written Progressive Metal album that will remind you of early/mid era BTBAM while being very much its own voice.
Review: Alpha Male Tea Party – Infinity Stare
Instrumental math rock/metal that comes up just short of memorable.
Review: Apokrisis – Misanthropy
A modern, extremified take on tech-thrash with solid energy.
Review: The Spectre Beneath – The New Identity of Sidney Stone
Once again, they’ve found a nice spot between quirkiness and traditional metal that only sounds like themselves.
Review: Pothamus – Raya
When atmospheric sludge and tribal music collide!
Review: Obsidian Mantra – Minds Led Astray
Eerie, groovy prog death out of Poland that is worth a listen
Review: Anderwelt – 2084
On the nose Orwellian post-metal.
Review: Omnivortex – Diagrams of Consciousness
Just a ripping technical death metal album that does not have a single boring moment or riff. And there are a lot of riffs.
