Review: Gravestone – Ars Arcana
The songs take a lot of strange turns, with chord changes and melodies never quite leading where you expect, but ending up somewhere tasteful nonetheless.
Review: Cognitive – Malevolent Thoughts of a Hastened Extinction
Looking to get pummeled over the head with a few cool turns along the way? This is for that mood.
Review: No Living Witness – Cosmic Simulacra
A very unique, genre-bending take on black/death.
Review: Noctambulist – The Barren Form
Dynamic, technical dissodeath offering a bleak, suffocating, atmospheric take on a crowded genre.
Review: URNE – SERPENT & SPIRIT
An absolute sludge metal riff factory with shades of thrash and hardcore.
Review: Quiet – …and so it was
An exciting debut occasionally marred by overzealous style shifts.
Review: Terra Odium – Ne Plus Ultra
Two former members of Spiral Architect teamed up to bring the 90s into 20s, but did they succeed?
Review: Alustrium – A Moment to Silence
A modern, melodic take on traditional progressive death metal
Review: Wine Guardian – Timescape
From past to present, Timescape showcases quality songwriting whose influences originate throughout the prog rock and metal hemisphere.
Review: Circle of Sighs – Narci
One of the most bizarre and innovative albums of the year thus far.
