Review: Fjoergyn – Judasmesse
One of the most innovative bands of the German black metal scene is back at it after a six year hiatus
Review: Astral Tomb – Total Spiritual Death
Make death metal weird again.
Review: Vermilion Dawn – Boreal Valley
The Wisconsin death metallers are back after their stellar debut, but can their new EP compare to what came before?
Review: Enopolis – ISIHASTIKA
An instructive case study in how not to write music.
Review: Divinex – Dreamscapes
An improvement on the usual formula, but not a dream come true.
Review: The Dark Atom – Foundation
Procedurally djenerated?? I think so…
Review: Vordona – Quadrivium
We’re in the doldrums, guys. The winds of progressive metal do not blow this summer.
Review: Entering Polaris – And Silently the Age Did Pass
Entering Polaris #2 is simple, pretty neofolk. Is it better than their power/prog?
Review: Entering Polaris – Atlantean Shores
The first of Entering Polaris’ four planned albums for 2023, Atlantean Shores plays it safe with power/prog.
Review: Vexing – Grand Reproach
Sometimes I just want an elephant to step on me while smelling flowers.
