Review: Rust Belt Gothic – Collapsar
This is a bit of an experimental album combining electronic, power metal, and prog metal influences.
Review: Eye of Purgatory – The Lighthouse
Melodic death that is heavy, not overindulgent, and well-balanced.
Review: Chassm – Falling Forever
Atmospheric, heavy riffing with the occasional vocal to shake things up.
Review: Fractal Universe – The Impassable Horizon
Tech death with a chorus.
Review: Papangu – Holoceno
An incredibly musically ambitious album that is executed as well as it is envisioned. 7 years in the making, Holoceno combines progressive sludge metal with elements of avant garde and zeuhl.
Review: Endless Chain – Forthcoming Past
A mournful gothic solo project lamenting the passing of time, and the inevitability of death.
Review: Temenigru – Terminal
Terminal is filled with great ideas, but it scarcely gives any of them the time they deserve.
Review: ME REX – Megabear
An interesting experiment that doesn’t entirely pan out
Review: Seventh Dimension – Black Sky
Seventh Dimension is a melodic prog metal outfit from Sweden. Coming off the back of a two hour album, can this shorter effort improve upon their previous shortcomings? Find out!
Review: Polars Collide – Grotesque
The best groove metal album to come out over the past couple years. This is will please headbangers and Meshuggah fans alike.
