Review: Silver Talon – Decadence and Decay
Oregon’s latest export is a very Talonted band that will surely fill all your Nevermore cravings and more
Review: Canvas Solaris – Chromosphere
One of the most technical albums of the year. Canvas Solaris returns with no loss of guitar shredding and complex riffs. Now with some tech-thrash influences.
Review: Sketchshow – WAVES
One of the greatest joys in life, I firmly believe, is math rock, here’s why.
Review: Stone Healer – Conquistador
An unlikely but outstanding combination of Opethian grunge and blackened mindfuckery that’s honest, soulful, and relentlessly engaging.
Review: Bloomcore – Conduit [EP]
Cinematic yet subtle, touching and immersive. Conduit proves to be an exceptional work of instrumental music, in which no microphones were harmed.
Review: Massen – Contraesthetic
An utterly compelling folk metal record from Belarus!
Review: Sleep Terror – Above Snakes
Imagine if crunchy technical death metal was scattered through a spaghetti western movie.
Review: Moral Collapse – Moral Collapse
No djent, only djembe. Old school death metal with some Indian classical twists.
Review: Æthĕrĭa Conscĭentĭa – Corrupted Pillars of Vanity
Sci-fi themed progressive black metal with massive dynamics, riffs, and jazzy saxophone? Yes please.
Review: The Beast of Nod – Multiversal
Impressive fretboard wizardry, gnarly snarls, blistering synths, and lyrics detailing fictional intergalactic histories… what’s not to love? This is unique, nerdy, progressive death metal goodness.
