Review: Epitaphe – II
Epitaphe merge Romanticism and metal in this AOTY contender from the French Alps.
Review: 6:33 – Feary Tales for Strange Lullabies: The Dome
Relentlessly catchy, a fantastically entertaining release that’s equal parts 80s pastiche and avant-garde metal experimentation.
Review: Altesia – Embryo
Altesia brings home another prog metal classic.
Review: Fractal Universe – The Impassable Horizon
Tech death with a chorus.
Review: Esoctrilihum – Dy’th Requiem For The Serpent Telepath
Yet another banger from one of the most prolific, ambitious, and talented artists in the French black metal scene.
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.
Review: Avaland – Theater of Sorcery
A great power metal opera for your monthly cheese serving
Review: Æthĕrĭa Conscĭentĭa – Corrupted Pillars of Vanity
Sci-fi themed progressive black metal with massive dynamics, riffs, and jazzy saxophone? Yes please.
Review: Grorr – Ddulden’s Last Flight
A 36 minute “one-track-feel” album that blends djenty melodies and oriental undertones. Does it work though?
Review: Exanimis – Marionnettiste
An incredibly strong orchestral death metal album with a brainy progressive edge.
