Review: Unflesh – Inhumation
A great blackened techy melodic death album that has atmosphere to match its morose cover.
Review: Exanimis – Marionnettiste
An incredibly strong orchestral death metal album with a brainy progressive edge.
Review: The Beast of Nod – Multiversal
Impressive fretboard wizardry, gnarly snarls, blistering synths, and lyrics detailing fictional intergalactic histories… what’s not to love? This is unique, nerdy, progressive death metal goodness.
Review: Ad Nauseam – Imperative Imperceptible Impulse
Impeccably written discordant, atonal chaos: impenetrable, oppressive, and heckin’ brilliant.
Review: The Lylat Continuum – Ephemeral
Literally drifting through space, watching the world burn, awaiting your demise. One can either seek bliss or turn to madness.
Review: Sea Sleeper – Nostophobia
A Gojira esque post metal./sludge album. which may rely a bit too heavily on the slamming riffs.
Review: Scarred – Scarred
When an absurd variety of metal influences form a progressive metal soup, one must ask: do too many subgenres spoil the broth?
Review: Devil’s Reef – Chosen by the Sea
Brief and casual aquatic-horror tech death.
Review: Thermohaline – Maelström
Aggressive, oppressive, evil, and avant-garde. What more do you want?
Review: Descend – The Deviant
Descend may be the band that us Opeth fans have been looking for all these years. This is an album that is truly remarkable. A faithful continuation of Opeth’s formula all while keeping updated with the meta of twenty years of progressive death metal.
