Review: Klexos – Apocryphal Parabolam
A pummeling tech death offering with a cool dissonant twist.
Review: Paranorm – Empyrean
Extreme thrash with exceptional lead guitar work.
Review: Spire – Temple of Khronos
Cerebral and atmospheric black metal tackling the tyranny of time itself
Review: Dzung – Dzanca
A lovely instrumental album combining Vietnamese folk with prog goodness
Review: Dark Quarterer – Pompei
From an 80s heavy metal cult favorite to full blown progressive metal, Dark Quarterer have undergone quite the transformation. How did they do?
Review: Scardust – Strangers
Kind of genius, but I’d still be embarrassed to play it in public.
Review: Grayceon – MOTHERS WEAVERS VULTURES
Uniquely instrumented sludge metal with a well delivered message.
Review: Show Me a Dinosaur – Plantgazer
A great blackgaze album to just sit quietly, contemplate life, and stare at your houseplants in wonder.
Review: The Spectre Beneath – The New Identity of Sidney Stone
Once again, they’ve found a nice spot between quirkiness and traditional metal that only sounds like themselves.
Review: Contrarian – Only Time Will Tell
A sci-fi adventure through time and space, inspired by tech death oldies like Death and Atheist.
