While the lyrics may be trope-y black metal, the music is anything but (that fretless bass)…
A run down of 18 of our favorite albums through the first half of the year.
Listening to Wilderun is like eating the best coffee ice cream you’ve ever tasted but you occasionally bite into coffee chunks that are a little too bitter for your senses.
Egyptian progressive/folk metal outfit Riverwood’s sophomore album Shadows And Flames is a bombastic release with many moving parts, but one that ultimately leaves you wishing for more.
An exemplary example of all a French black metal album should be, rejoicing in French heritage with tasteful, albeit crazy, cabaret orchestrations.
This is one of my favorite, if not my actual favorite progressive metalcore/deathcore release in years.
Great melody, excellent instrumental harmony, sappy vocals; is this not par for the course in most traditional prog metal?
