Review: Cicada the Burrower – Blight Witch Regalia
Portraying an artist breaking out of her cocoon, does Blight Witch Regalia have the emotional depth to adequately convey its subject material?
Review: Thy Darkened Shade – Liber Lvcifer II: Mahapralaya
While the lyrics may be trope-y black metal, the music is anything but (that fretless bass)…
Review: SkyThala – Boreal Despair
A bunch of guys from Tennessee wrote high modern Russian classical??
Review: Firtan – Marter
Firtan express bleak lyrical prose in a way only the German language can convey and combine it with a somber atmospheric black metal tonality.
Review: Condemned-AD – Follow a Failing Leader
Condemned-AD delivers an energetic thrash metal ride that certainly entertains, but that teases a measure of complexity it fails to ever really develop.
Review: Zemeth – Loneliness
Another day, another underrated Japanese guitar god slinging out hot neo-romantic solos. It’s like if Galneryus were high on caffeine and had harsh vocals.
Review: Upon a Fields Whisper – Sorry For Your Loss
A solid crust punk outing that deviates from the norms of the genre enough to be interesting for prog metal heads.
