Review: Epiphanic Truth – Dark Triad: Bitter Psalms To A Sordid Species

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.

Ad Nauseam - Imperative Imperceptible Impulse Album Art
Album Reviews

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

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!

Review: Growth – The Smothering Arms of Mercy

A claustrophobic exploration of hope and suffering through tight, ferocious death metal.

Review: Maladie – The Grand Aversion

An uncomfortable ride into the depths of black metal avant-garde – Maladie is sure to leave you flabbergasted!
