Review: Philosophobia – Philosophobia
A generic romp back to 2007 just retreading the same dull cliches of traditional prog metal
Review: Atomic Symphony – HYBRIS
The first half of a two-part concept album that embraces a symphonic sound while retaining a more traditional progressive style.
Review: Upon a Fields Whisper – Sorry For Your Loss
A solid crust punk outing that deviates from the norms of the genre enough to be interesting for prog metal heads.
Review: Soulsplitter – Connection
Soulsplitter have honed their skills and are ready to take the progressive metal scene by storm
Lost in Time: Aquilus – Griseus
The best symphonic album. Ever.
Review: Kekal – Envisaged
A heady brew of genre experimentation with a rather arcane philosophy
Review: Neurotic Machinery – A Loathsome Aberration
A passable assortment of much-too-similar songs that fail to make an impact
Review: Vitam Aeternam – Revelations from the Mother Harlot
A zany, religiously inspired journey through symphonic and avant prog.
Review: Wilderun – Epigone
Listening to Wilderun is like eating the best coffee ice cream you’ve ever tasted but you occasionally bite into coffee chunks that are a little too bitter for your senses.
Review: Riverwood – Shadows And Flames
Egyptian progressive/folk metal outfit Riverwood’s sophomore album Shadows And Flames is a bombastic release with many moving parts, but one that ultimately leaves you wishing for more.
