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.
Review: Peculate – Your Own Personal Abyss
Peculate employs multiple styles to evoke a sense of dread with instruments one might normally find peaceful, which makes it all the more chilling and fascinating.
Review: PIXL – Deformity
Looks like there is djent from China now. Is it good? Yes. But is it unique enough to stand out amongst the wave of instrudjental solo artists? Ehhh…
Review: KRZTA – ŻÓŁĆ.NISZCZENIE.ZGLISZCZE
The heaviest album of 2021.
