Review: A Kew’s Tag – Hephioz
Hephioz is an amazing listening experience that will tell you a story twofold, once by the lyrics and the other by the instrumentation.
Review: Driving Slow Motion – Adrift:Abyss
A bite-sized chunk of blissful post rock.
Review: The Neal Morse Band – Innocence & Danger
A stellar late-career release from a group of legends
Review: Diskord – Degenerations
Extremely bonkers death metal that somehow just works.
Review: Speech Act – Letters on Extinction’s Piece
Perfection without pretention, this is fucking superb! Scratching my O’Brother itch, but so so much more – huge dynamics and post-hardcore emotions collide with impeccable songwriting sensibilities in a compelling reflection on the destruction humanity has wrought on nature.
Review: Scythelord – Earth Boiling Dystopia
Progressive dystopian-space-thrash that isn’t a Vektor clone. A must-listen.
Review: Papangu – Holoceno
An incredibly musically ambitious album that is executed as well as it is envisioned. 7 years in the making, Holoceno combines progressive sludge metal with elements of avant garde and zeuhl.
Review: Azure – Of Brine And Angel’s Beaks
A dazzling and triumphant breath of fresh proggy air.
Review: Subterranean Masquerade – Mountain Fever
You want fun? You wanna dance? Listen to this!!
Review: Cicada the Burrower – Corpseflower
This is a truly magical and utterly unique album filled with lush, mellow, hypnotic soundscapes that eerily distort themselves into blackened, pained harshness, without skipping a jazzy beat. You need to hear it to believe it.
