Review: A Dying Planet – When the Skies Are Grey
Zero Hour may be no more, but Jasun Tipton lives on, and this is his latest outing. Does this tower over Avarice or is the premise a dark deceiver? Find out!
Review: Sham Shaman – Anagnorisis
Guitars, Djent, and Space.
Review: Chaos over Cosmos – The Silver Lining Between the Stars
Listening to Silver Lining is exactly like when my Necrophagist-loving friend used to send me his Guitar Pros – robotic note spam for minutes on end.
Review: Scattered Storm – Oblivion
Quality musicianship dragged down by poor mixing and a lack of originality.
Review: Khabal – The Divine Deception
This blackened deathcore album will chill you with its brutally crushing downtuned riffs, and agonizing gutturals. If you’re not mentally prepared for this album, I’d turn elsewhere.
Review: Giant’s Knife – Oracle
A solid atmospheric, djenty debut album from a small band in Minnesota.
Review: Syncatto – A Place to Breathe
A fantastic blend of classical and metal that makes for the most interesting instrumental album of the year.
Review: Rust Belt Gothic – Collapsar
This is a bit of an experimental album combining electronic, power metal, and prog metal influences.
Review: Polars Collide – Grotesque
The best groove metal album to come out over the past couple years. This is will please headbangers and Meshuggah fans alike.
Review: Grorr – Ddulden’s Last Flight
A 36 minute “one-track-feel” album that blends djenty melodies and oriental undertones. Does it work though?
