Review: Zemeth – Loneliness
Another day, another underrated Japanese guitar god slinging out hot neo-romantic solos. It’s like if Galneryus were high on caffeine and had harsh vocals.
Review: Aronious – Irkalla
The slinky dissonance of Aethereus collides with the technicality of the Deviant Process at a million miles per hour. This is The Artisan Era-core to a tee.
Review: SIKASA – Matter Earth
An interesting albeit undercooked romp through some unique soundscapes

Review: Tiny Tree – XI
So much done right, yet dragged down so far.
Review: The Mask of the Phantasm – New Axial Age
The good vibes have struck as The Mars Volta members branch out into side-projects.
Review: The Cyberiam – Connected
The Cyberiam deliver a balanced reinterpretation of Rush-ian prog rock but with a modern twist.
Review: Terminus – The Silent Bell Toll
Out of the swamplands of thick sludge and angry rednecks, we now stumble upon… pop sludge? What? Did someone dump a sugar truck in my swamp or something?
Review: Sham Shaman – Anagnorisis
Guitars, Djent, and Space.
