Review: Einvigi – Sielulintu
Refreshingly folky blackgaze out of Finland.
Review: Trailight – Sophia
One-man Canadian prog rock that isn’t too bad, eh?
Review: Armed Cloud – Torque
Highly technical and equally harmonious musicians give us a satisfying traditional progressive metal album.
Review: Growth – The Smothering Arms of Mercy
A claustrophobic exploration of hope and suffering through tight, ferocious death metal.
Review: Dawnwalker – Ages
Emotionally gripping post-metal with tasteful, varied song-writing.
Review: Cryptodira – The Angel of History
A wonderful, well written Progressive Metal album that will remind you of early/mid era BTBAM while being very much its own voice.
Review: Alpha Male Tea Party – Infinity Stare
Instrumental math rock/metal that comes up just short of memorable.
Review: Apokrisis – Misanthropy
A modern, extremified take on tech-thrash with solid energy.
Review: The Spectre Beneath – The New Identity of Sidney Stone
Once again, they’ve found a nice spot between quirkiness and traditional metal that only sounds like themselves.
Review: Pothamus – Raya
When atmospheric sludge and tribal music collide!
