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.
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.
Review: Burial in the Sky – The Consumed Self
Lose yourself in this dynamic, progressive, sax-filled technical death metal epic.
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: Noctambulist – The Barren Form
Dynamic, technical dissodeath offering a bleak, suffocating, atmospheric take on a crowded genre.
