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.
Review: Code – Flyblown Prince
Rough around the edges, but a refreshingly progressive and atmospheric black metal beast
Review: Alustrium – A Moment to Silence
A modern, melodic take on traditional progressive death metal
Review: Epiphanic Truth – Dark Triad: Bitter Psalms To A Sordid Species
Fantastically textured and structured avant release with a lot to offer.
Review: Mindpatrol – Ikaria
An ambitious release, with no drought of classic progressive metal tropes.
Review: Acausal Intrusion – Nulitas
An otherworldly, transcendental trip through challenging chaos – sinister, twisted, blackened, dissonant chaos, perfectly balanced on the edge of consciousness.
Review: Crimson Dimension – Crimson Dimension
A blackened death album serving as a great debut for a new band.
Review: Wine Guardian – Timescape
From past to present, Timescape showcases quality songwriting whose influences originate throughout the prog rock and metal hemisphere.
Review: Circle of Sighs – Narci
One of the most bizarre and innovative albums of the year thus far.
Review: Boss Keloid – Family The Smiling Thrush
An excellent and multifaceted album that blends together psychedelic stoner metal, sludge, and prog rock for a heavy, groovy, uniquely uplifting trip.
