Review: The Mask of the Phantasm – New Axial Age
The good vibes have struck as The Mars Volta members branch out into side-projects.
Review: Dawn Fades – Ode
Metalgaze with an effective somber atmosphere
Review: The Cyberiam – Connected
The Cyberiam deliver a balanced reinterpretation of Rush-ian prog rock but with a modern twist.
Review: Terminus – The Silent Bell Toll
Out of the swamplands of thick sludge and angry rednecks, we now stumble upon… pop sludge? What? Did someone dump a sugar truck in my swamp or something?
Review: Sham Shaman – Anagnorisis
Guitars, Djent, and Space.
Review: Windfaerer – Breaths of Elder Dawns
A lovely epic folk/black metal album that is NOT sketchy.
Review: Ænigmatum – Deconsecrate
Fantastically intricate blackened death metal with classic energy but bass-heavy and dissodeath-inspired chops.
Review: The Argonaut – The Argonaut
Like watching a B-movie in more ways than one.
Review: Chaos over Cosmos – The Silver Lining Between the Stars
Listening to Silver Lining is exactly like when my Necrophagist-loving friend used to send me his Guitar Pros – robotic note spam for minutes on end.
Review: Electroqute – Tanpasin
Tanpasin demonstrates a good level of quality control: putting out consistently good riffs and impressive technical performances in every song.
