Review: Scardust – Strangers
Kind of genius, but I’d still be embarrassed to play it in public.
Review: ie at Heart – A Brighter Decay
Pleasant sounding alt-rock that’s perhaps a bit too stripped-down.
Review: The Spectre Beneath – The New Identity of Sidney Stone
Once again, they’ve found a nice spot between quirkiness and traditional metal that only sounds like themselves.
Review: Starbynary – Divina Commedia: Paradiso
Despite some moments of promise, most of the album is stuck in the dead zone of “complex but not interesting” prog parts.
Review: Khaima – Owing to the Influence
Tool-Esque alt-prog with condensed song writing
Review: Black Fate – Ithaca
Throwback prog-power from Greece for fans of Kamelot.
Review: Manticora – To Live to Kill to Live
This must be the heaviest power metal album ever recorded up till now.
Review: Iress – Flaw
A hypnotic Post-Doom grower of an album.
Review: Toehider – I LIKE IT!
What makes I Like It great is the same thing that makes Toehider great, tons of variety.
Review: Watertank – Silent Running
