Review: Mindpatrol – Ikaria
An ambitious release, with no drought of classic progressive metal tropes.
Review: Acausal Intrusion – Nulitas
An otherworldly, transcendental trip through challenging chaos – sinister, twisted, blackened, dissonant chaos, perfectly balanced on the edge of consciousness.
Review: Crimson Dimension – Crimson Dimension
A blackened death album serving as a great debut for a new band.
Review: Wine Guardian – Timescape
From past to present, Timescape showcases quality songwriting whose influences originate throughout the prog rock and metal hemisphere.
Review: Circle of Sighs – Narci
One of the most bizarre and innovative albums of the year thus far.
Review: Boss Keloid – Family The Smiling Thrush
An excellent and multifaceted album that blends together psychedelic stoner metal, sludge, and prog rock for a heavy, groovy, uniquely uplifting trip.
Review: Gn0sis – Pro Terra
Instrumental tech death that’s exactly what you signed up for
Review: The Flight of Sleipnir – Eventide
Psychedelic Vikings from Colorado come to show you that while Agalloch died physically, their legacy will live on, now with extra psych doom!
Review: Silver Talon – Decadence and Decay
Oregon’s latest export is a very Talonted band that will surely fill all your Nevermore cravings and more
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.
