The first of Entering Polaris’ four planned albums for 2023, Atlantean Shores plays it safe with power/prog.
Review: Bríi – Último Ancestral Comum
My personal music god is back with his first main project full length in what feels like ages… does it stand up to his magnum opera?
Review: Echoes and Signals – Lunar
An intriguing shift in direction but ultimately a disappointing follow-up.

Lo and behold! Politically charged post-metal!
Review: Bakt – Arqueano

Review: The Enigma Division – The Enigma Division

Review: Ice Age – Waves of Loss and Power
Has this classic heavy prog band changed much in the twenty-two years since their last album?
Review: Back to R’lyeh – The Break
In his house in Madrid, dead Cthulhu plays trippy metal
