Review: An Abstract Illusion – Woe
A sophomore album so massive it took two reviewers to conquer it!
Review: SALQIU – Pariah
While maybe unpalatable to first-time listeners, Pariah unfurls into a beautiful tapestry of avant-garde black metal with repeated listens.
Review: Dusk Chapel – Astrophysics And Abnormal Activities
A complex and intricate release, Dusk Chapel’s Astrophysics And Abnormal Activities finds its place firmly among established names in the genre.
Review: Ashenspire – Hostile Architecture
The anger of the wealth inequality gap personified.
Review: Soulsplitter – Connection
Soulsplitter have honed their skills and are ready to take the progressive metal scene by storm
Review: Wilderun – Epigone
Listening to Wilderun is like eating the best coffee ice cream you’ve ever tasted but you occasionally bite into coffee chunks that are a little too bitter for your senses.
Review: Charlie Griffiths – Tiktaalika
The best fossilized slab of regular ‘ol prog metal you’ll hear all year.
Review: The Dali Thundering Concept – All Mighty Men
This is one of my favorite, if not my actual favorite progressive metalcore/deathcore release in years.
Review: Aethereus – Leiden
A beautiful blend of melody and dissonance.
Review: Breaths – Though life has turned out nothing like I imagined, it is far better than I could have dreamt
Breaths brings us a brutal, genre-defying album with crushing lyrics with an unusual edge of optimism.
