Review: Esthesis – Watching Worlds Collide
O’ where are the innovative prog rock bands of yesteryear? They could be right here…
Review: Ckraft – Epic Discordant Vision
Epic Discordant Vision is the perfect title for this album; it’s a grand feast with fifty minutes of harsh riffage, tenor sax leads, and accordion noodling.
Review: Spheric Universe Experience – Back Home
A 20-year veteran of the Underground returns after a 10-year hiatus.
Pensées Nocturnes – Douce Fange
An exemplary example of all a French black metal album should be, rejoicing in French heritage with tasteful, albeit crazy, cabaret orchestrations.
Review: Atlantis Chronicles – Nera
Change is (sorta-kinda) good!
Review: Moozoonsii – Inward
French stoner rock trio providing a soundtrack to your next trip.
Review: Stengah – Soma Sema
“While we all have lots of bands who influence still, we all rip off Meshuggah!” – Devin Townsend Project
Review: The Dali Thundering Concept – All Mighty Men
This is one of my favorite, if not my actual favorite progressive metalcore/deathcore release in years.
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.
