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: Temenigru – Terminal
Terminal is filled with great ideas, but it scarcely gives any of them the time they deserve.
Review: Epiphanic Truth – Dark Triad: Bitter Psalms To A Sordid Species
Fantastically textured and structured avant release with a lot to offer.
Review: Esoctrilihum – Dy’th Requiem For The Serpent Telepath
Yet another banger from one of the most prolific, ambitious, and talented artists in the French black metal scene.
Review: Voronoi – The Last Three Seconds
A good jazzy effort that sadly misses the mark.
Review: Keor – Tearoom
This sounds like Keor dropped acid and wrote down and recorded everything that came to his mind during a long night in a cave somewhere.
Review: Odd Circus – Mantha
A brief dive into avant garde psychadelic insanity
Review: Ad Nauseam – Imperative Imperceptible Impulse
Impeccably written discordant, atonal chaos: impenetrable, oppressive, and heckin’ brilliant.
Review: Thermohaline – Maelström
Aggressive, oppressive, evil, and avant-garde. What more do you want?
Lost in Time: Begnagrad – Begnagrad
A highly technical but non-snobby and at moments even humorous avant-prog album from Yugoslavia laced with Balkan and alpine folk influences. Nonsense at its best!
