Review: Gn0sis – Pro Terra
Instrumental tech death that’s exactly what you signed up for
Review: Canvas Solaris – Chromosphere
One of the most technical albums of the year. Canvas Solaris returns with no loss of guitar shredding and complex riffs. Now with some tech-thrash influences.
Review: Blackshape – Blackshape
Accurately self-proclaimed “Heavy, beautiful math”
Review: Odd Circus – Mantha
A brief dive into avant garde psychadelic insanity
Lost in Time: Iceberg – Coses Nostres
Legendary flamenco-inspired fusion from Spain, 1976.
Review: The Elephant in the Room – The Elephant in the Room
A solid instrumental debut from a promising solo artist.
Review: Kaupe – Cognitive Dissonance
Fun, bite-sized instrumental pieces from the depths of Florida.
Lost in Time: Begnagrad – Begnagrad
A highly technical but non-snobby and at moments even humorous avant-prog album from Yugoslavia laced with Balkan and alpine folk influences. Nonsense at its best!
Review: Seth Angerer – Utrotningen | Symphony No. 2
An enjoyable “instrumetal” album that manages to avoid most of the common traps of the genre.
Review: Hecla – In a World of One’s Own
An atmospheric instrumental sound that cuts right between modern prog metal and post-rock. Great background music.
