The Progressive Subway

Missed Album Review: Chaos Frame – Entropy

After a long delay, I finally get to dunk on a former TPS writer’s album. Progressive power metal has never been this bad, trust me!

We sing now one very long song.

Crushing post metal with an unexpected twang

While the lyrics may be trope-y black metal, the music is anything but (that fretless bass)…

An exploration of musical negative space that’s defined as much by absence as by its own content.

With as many hooks as a tackle shop, Toxik play mind-bending technical thrash metal which is the best the genre has seen since Terminal Redux.

Alt metal gets creative.

A wildly ambitious debut release results in an inconsistent album

Hovering at the very outskirts of listenability, Aveilut is the terrifying sounds of an accomplished composer reconciling with death–truly haunting.

A succinct, self-assured, and sophisticated piece of instrumental prog that is an easy recommendation for any veteran listeners of the genre.
