Review: Negură Bunget – Zău
An emotional swansong from Romanian black metal giants.
Review: Naevius – Sad and Horny
There is some potential here for sure, but I don’t think it was taken very seriously. Hopefully it isn’t meant to be taken seriously.
Review: Sunless – Ylem
This 3-piece’s sophomore effort might be the most memorable anti-memorable dissodeath I’ve heard all year.
Review: Vivid Illusion – Vivid Illusion
A college essay of an album, presented to the class of post black 101 (Taught by Neige)
Review: Zych – Dante’s Inferno, Part I
A blistering new take on an ancient classic.
Review: Queen Kona – Lucid
Each member of the band is a vocalist, and each of them has a different style of vocals.
Review: 1000 Bone Cylinder Explosion – Bind
Take a moment to admire that artwork. That alone deserves an 11/10.
Review: Deviant Process – Nurture
Deliciously proggy techdeath with palpable Cynic influences.
Review: Black Sites – Untrue
The gods of heavy metal keep on giving this year, this time with stoner vibes.
Review: Sculptured – The Liminal Phase
I cannot think of a better example of a “hit or miss” album than this. Fans of Katatonia and Agalloch should check this one out.
