Review: The Spectre Beneath – The New Identity of Sidney Stone
Once again, they’ve found a nice spot between quirkiness and traditional metal that only sounds like themselves.
Review: Seth Angerer – Utrotningen | Symphony No. 2
An enjoyable “instrumetal” album that manages to avoid most of the common traps of the genre.
Review: Holmgang Ov Gensokyo – NIGHT FESTIVAL OF TEN-THOUSAND DEMONS
A killer Touhou metal record that shows off exceptional musical creativity while still retaining the best parts of the original tracks.
Review: Divided by Design – Stages to Osiris
Detailed rhythms highlighting shreddy, intense crescendos with keyboard acrobatics for energy in standard-but-not-standard prog metal.
Review: Voltaic – Living the Mist
I won’t mince words… This is bad.
Review: Luck Wont Save You – Sail Into the Abyss
Fun mix of some more classic Metalcore with the busier more melodic pieces of modern Deathcore.
Review: Guardsman – The Entropy Illusion, Pt. II
For those who really really like Mike Portnoy
Review: Adrift – Pure
Another fantastic outing in the blackened sludge genre.
Review: Ahl Sina – Troops of Pain
Oriental progressive metal that’s not shy of unorthodox instrumentation
Review: Four Stroke Baron – Planet Silver Screen
A bold, intriguing piece of Prog that does not shy away from synth-pop elements.
