Review: Overtoun – This Darkness Feels Alive
Overtoun’s back must be hurting from the weight of all the OSDM bands they are carrying to the new era of metal.
Lost in Time: Hephystus – Burn the Page
In a time before djent and metalcore, melodic prog metal was kin- just kidding. This album’s pretty neat though.
Review: Driving Slow Motion – Adrift:Abyss
A bite-sized chunk of blissful post rock.
Review: Tiny Tree – XI
So much done right, yet dragged down so far.

Review: Dawn Fades – Ode
Metalgaze with an effective somber atmosphere

A stellar late-career release from a group of legends
