Review: Aeternam – Heir of the Rising Sun
The rise and fall of empires is no easy topic to tackle, yet Aeternam write of the rise of the Ottomans with aplomb and ceaseless heart-stopping moments.
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.
