Review: Chaos over Cosmos – The Silver Lining Between the Stars
Listening to Silver Lining is exactly like when my Necrophagist-loving friend used to send me his Guitar Pros – robotic note spam for minutes on end.
Review: Diskord – Degenerations
Extremely bonkers death metal that somehow just works.
Review: Electroqute – Tanpasin
Tanpasin demonstrates a good level of quality control: putting out consistently good riffs and impressive technical performances in every song.
Review: Speech Act – Letters on Extinction’s Piece
Perfection without pretention, this is fucking superb! Scratching my O’Brother itch, but so so much more – huge dynamics and post-hardcore emotions collide with impeccable songwriting sensibilities in a compelling reflection on the destruction humanity has wrought on nature.
Review: Anderuvius – Painter of the Universe
A good classic heavy metal record. with some progressive elements dashed in.
Review: Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster – The World Inside
Emotive soundscapes. Crushing riffs. Questioning the meaning of existence. This is what post-rock is all about.
Review: Loch Vostok – Opus Ferox – The Great Escape
Quality writing has no genre, and it carries this album that somehow manages to have no identity for 48 minutes and still be good.
Review: Burial in the Sky – The Consumed Self
Lose yourself in this dynamic, progressive, sax-filled technical death metal epic.
Review: Moon Machine – Moon Machine
If you are someone who wishes Keor never would have diverged from Steven Wilson/Opeth inspired sound he established in Petrichor, I think I might just have the album for you.
Review: Prognostication – Collapse
Finally! A progressive technical death album with some true melodic flair and a styling of Native Construct and similar artists in the cleaner sections.
