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: Riverwood – Shadows And Flames
Egyptian progressive/folk metal outfit Riverwood’s sophomore album Shadows And Flames is a bombastic release with many moving parts, but one that ultimately leaves you wishing for more.
Review: The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara – Trust No Leader
Perhaps not the protest album we wanted, but the one we deserved.
Review: Clayshaper – Vampiric
The Shaper conjures up something wicked in his debut album but evil tends to come at a price…
Review: Virocracy – Ecophagia
Virocracy serves up complex progressive death metal from Germany.
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.
Review: WAIT – The End of Noise
WAIT produce a fairly interesting and unexpected djent inspired album. If you can handle the repetitive chugs, you can handle the WAIT.
Review: Trailight- Chasing Daylight
Lofty intentions from a Canadian Prog-Rock group.
Review: Burned in Effigy – Rex Mortem
A young band to watch, debuting with well-balanced melodeath full of technical and neoclassical elements
