Review: Aronious – Irkalla
The slinky dissonance of Aethereus collides with the technicality of the Deviant Process at a million miles per hour. This is The Artisan Era-core to a tee.

Review: Xenoglyph – Spiritfraud
Warning us from another planet about technology’s imminent rise to overtake humanity, Xenoglyph write twisting black metal certain to appeal to fans of the genre’s more dissonant leanings.

Review: Ckraft – Epic Discordant Vision
Epic Discordant Vision is the perfect title for this album; it’s a grand feast with fifty minutes of harsh riffage, tenor sax leads, and accordion noodling.

Review: Upon a Fields Whisper – Sorry For Your Loss
A solid crust punk outing that deviates from the norms of the genre enough to be interesting for prog metal heads.

Review: Fall of Stasis – The Chronophagist
Tech death musician tries to write about an album that’s not really tech death. Fails miserably. More at 11.

Review: Egor Lappo – Naturealism
A loud and bombastic prog metal album with Ghost-esque pop elements.
