Review: Naevius – Sad and Horny
There is some potential here for sure, but I don’t think it was taken very seriously. Hopefully it isn’t meant to be taken seriously.
Review: Deviant Process – Nurture
Deliciously proggy techdeath with palpable Cynic influences.
Review: Épiphanie – L’aube
The best musical character arc of 2021.
Review: Before & Apace – The Denisovan
A movement and theme based heavy prog album with some interesting twists sprinkled in.
Review: Intonate – Severed Within
Wonderful dissonant tech death with enough elements from black and doom to be fresh and exciting
Review: Trailight – Sophia
One-man Canadian prog rock that isn’t too bad, eh?
Review: Hecla – In a World of One’s Own
An atmospheric instrumental sound that cuts right between modern prog metal and post-rock. Great background music.
Review: Empress – Premonition
Post-metal that is surprisingly energetic and catchy.
Review: Entropy Created Consciousness – Antica Memoria Di Dis: Acheron & Lethe
Atmospheric, well made Black Metal which has restored this reviewer’s faith in the genre.
Review: Voltaic – Living the Mist
I won’t mince words… This is bad.
