Review: Aeon Zen – Transversal
Not many bands attempt a 30 minute song, yet here we are. How do Aeon Zen do? Find out!
Review: We Are William – We Are William
A progressive metal collective bringing together a range of influences from 00s-10s bands. But do they pull it off?
Review: Summoner’s Circle – Chaos Vector
Summoner’s Circle arguably learns from past albums and illustrates a concise picture. This is a focused execution of dark synths, death-doom, and blackened death metal influences.
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: The Cyberiam – Connected
The Cyberiam deliver a balanced reinterpretation of Rush-ian prog rock but with a modern twist.
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: Electroqute – Tanpasin
Tanpasin demonstrates a good level of quality control: putting out consistently good riffs and impressive technical performances in every song.
Review: Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster – The World Inside
Emotive soundscapes. Crushing riffs. Questioning the meaning of existence. This is what post-rock is all about.
Review: Loch Vostok – Opus Ferox – The Great Escape
Quality writing has no genre, and it carries this album that somehow manages to have no identity for 48 minutes and still be good.
