Review: Poly-Math – Zenith
A succinct, self-assured, and sophisticated piece of instrumental prog that is an easy recommendation for any veteran listeners of the genre.
Review: Wounded Knee – 122 Lune
Italian progressive metal veterans Wounded Knee return after some time with the album 122 Lune. Not trying to break new ground, the album makes for an engaging listen but can sometimes feel a bit derivative.
Review: Sullen – Nodus Tollens – Act 2: Ascension
Do you worship The Contortionist? If so, I’ve got good news: you’re not the only one.
Review: Constellatia – Magisterial Romance
Blackgaze with a pretty album cover, cool solos, and some fierce climaxes: what else could you ask for from the genre?
Review: Ashbreather – Hivemind
Mad scientists splice their brains with an extraterrestrial insect hivemind in Ashbreather’s sludgy, narrative-driven sophomore
Review: Oak – The Quiet Rebellion of Compromise
A delightful fusion of prog rock and electronica with a heavy heart
Review: Diagonal Path – Atheist Cathedrals
A strong showing of technical strengths that doesn’t go out of its way just to be different.
Review: Firtan – Marter
Firtan express bleak lyrical prose in a way only the German language can convey and combine it with a somber atmospheric black metal tonality.
Review: iNFiNiEN – Beyond the Veil
A fourth outing from the chaotic and jazzy Philadelphia band with their caps lock key stuck half on.
