Review: Canvas Solaris – Chromosphere
One of the most technical albums of the year. Canvas Solaris returns with no loss of guitar shredding and complex riffs. Now with some tech-thrash influences.
Review: Graveborn – Transmigrator
Well made deathcore record, but it doesn’t stray a large amount from the current norms of the genre.
Review: The Vicious Head Society – Extinction Level Event
A melodic prog metal album made by a single individual, can it escape the genre’s tropes, or does it fall into the forgotten lands of genericness? Find out!
Review: Mothman and the Thunderbirds – Into the Hollow
A fun album about the uncovering of some of the world’s most hidden conspiracies. This is a decent edition for collectors of progressive stoner/sludge metal.
Review: Esoctrilihum – Dy’th Requiem For The Serpent Telepath
Yet another banger from one of the most prolific, ambitious, and talented artists in the French black metal scene.
Review: Pentral – What Lies Ahead of Us
A surprisingly progressive album about the struggles of urban life. This is heavy metal done right.

One of the greatest joys in life, I firmly believe, is math rock, here’s why.

A modernized, death-metallized metalcore bop with great energy and excellent production.

A dreamy black metal experience from Romania setting off to take you on a most wondrous journey
