Review: Back to R’lyeh – The Break
In his house in Madrid, dead Cthulhu plays trippy metal
Review: Zopp – Dominion
Zopp is a bop.
Missed Album Review: Downriver Dead Men Go – Ruins
An exploration of musical negative space that’s defined as much by absence as by its own content.
Review: Ramskull – Parasitic Sapiens
A progressive sludge swing and a miss.
Review: Sympuls-E – Immensity
Sympuls-E blends memorable metalcore choruses with soul-stirring stringed arrangements and zealous synth work.
Review: Hexed – Pagans Rising
Bog-standard symphonic metal with excellent vocals and decent production.
Review: Condemned-AD – Follow a Failing Leader
Condemned-AD delivers an energetic thrash metal ride that certainly entertains, but that teases a measure of complexity it fails to ever really develop.
Review: Vrylnia – The Other World
One of the most perfectly standard symphonic power metal albums ever produced.
Review: Seyr – Flux
A beacon in the post-metal sea that needs to shine a little brighter.
Review: Secludja – Stilled
Be’Lakor’s own pianist’s solo album, a wonderful trip into minimalist piano. It’s as sure to calm you down as it is to put you to sleep.
