Review: Egor Lappo – Trancevoicer
This collection of melodic sci-fi songs is perfect for fans of Voyager and Rendezvous Point. Egor Lappo is right to be proud of his work.
Lost in Time: Iceberg – Coses Nostres
Legendary flamenco-inspired fusion from Spain, 1976.
Review: Unflesh – Inhumation
A great blackened techy melodic death album that has atmosphere to match its morose cover.

An incredibly strong orchestral death metal album with a brainy progressive edge.
Review: The Elephant in the Room – The Elephant in the Room
A solid instrumental debut from a promising solo artist.
Review: The Beast of Nod – Multiversal
Impressive fretboard wizardry, gnarly snarls, blistering synths, and lyrics detailing fictional intergalactic histories… what’s not to love? This is unique, nerdy, progressive death metal goodness.

For fans of: riffs as heavy as an elephant stepping on you.
Review: Sullen – Nodus Tollens Act I: Oblivion
A modern prog/death-ish hybrid that strikes similar notes to Extol.
