Review: Sunless – Ylem
This 3-piece’s sophomore effort might be the most memorable anti-memorable dissodeath I’ve heard all year.
Review: Deviant Process – Nurture
Deliciously proggy techdeath with palpable Cynic influences.
Review: Peculate – Your Own Personal Abyss
Peculate employs multiple styles to evoke a sense of dread with instruments one might normally find peaceful, which makes it all the more chilling and fascinating.
Review: PIXL – Deformity
Looks like there is djent from China now. Is it good? Yes. But is it unique enough to stand out amongst the wave of instrudjental solo artists? Ehhh…
Review: ShadowStrike – Fables & Folklore
From the realms of farms with the finest cows, this cheese has is aged 17 years.
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: 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.
