Reports from the (progressive metal) underground: April 2019
April 2019’s underground prog albums receive deep analysis!
Review: Umpfel – As the Water Covers the Sea
Mixed vocals, weird time signatures, soaring guitars, and just a little bit of a lot of JAZZ.
Review: Tanagra – Meridiem
So apparently, atmospheric power metal is a thing… AND IT’S GOOD…?!
Review: Bushwhacker – A Fistful of Poison
An educative yeehaw sludge story about how kissing crocodiles has a poor effect on your health
Review: Hyvmine – Retaliation
Why are there Dream Theater solos and djent in my Nickleback and why am I enjoying this?
Review: Freighter – The Den
A little bit of core and a little bit of everything – the fuck is this? AND WHY IS IT SO GOOD?!
Review: Gandalf’s Fist – The Clockwork Prologue
When did Ayreon and Jethro Tull have a baby?
Reports from the (progressive metal) underground: March 2019
As we march into March we review the albums that march out of the underground and into view!
Review: Embrace of Disharmony – De Rervm Natvra
One of the most adventurous, dense album I’ve ever come across
Review: Adrift – Pure
Another fantastic outing in the blackened sludge genre.
