Review: Spektrvm – Blood for Heaven
An alternative metal LP with some potential, but marred by tacked on progressive elements
Review: Ashenspire – Hostile Architecture
The anger of the wealth inequality gap personified.
Review: Gates to the Morning – Walk Between Worlds
An acoustic take on post-black metal that feels like the promise of spring breaking the grip of eternal winter.
Review: Regressor – Crescent Spoon
Guitarist and producer Joseph Stevenson of StarSystems branches out with the debut of a new, jazzier solo project.
Review: Birth – Born
Open your chakras for Birth’s debut album.
Review: Marlugubre – Maladie
Have you ever wondered what a band trying their hardest to emulate 90s Opeth would sound like?
Review: Bonus – Disyuntiva
Power metal with harsh vocals just doesn’t work too well, but Disyuntiva is a fun album from a new band.
Review: earth7 – Shine
A short and sweet instrumental djent EP with bright-shining guest stars.
Review: Ckraft – Epic Discordant Vision
Epic Discordant Vision is the perfect title for this album; it’s a grand feast with fifty minutes of harsh riffage, tenor sax leads, and accordion noodling.
Review: Ghost Toast – Shade Without Color
Instrumental prog rock done right.
