Album Reviews
Review: Overtoun – This Darkness Feels Alive
Overtoun’s back must be hurting from the weight of all the OSDM bands they are carrying to the new era of metal.
Album Reviews
Review: Electroqute – Tanpasin
Tanpasin demonstrates a good level of quality control: putting out consistently good riffs and impressive technical performances in every song.
Album Reviews
Review: Moon Machine – Moon Machine
If you are someone who wishes Keor never would have diverged from Steven Wilson/Opeth inspired sound he established in Petrichor, I think I might just have the album for you.
Album Reviews
Review: Prognostication – Collapse
Finally! A progressive technical death album with some true melodic flair and a styling of Native Construct and similar artists in the cleaner sections.
Album Reviews
Review: Erdve – Savigaila
A mixed bag of the most furious metallic hardcore this side of End… alongside a bunch of immersive psychedelic filler.
Album Reviews
Review: Gravestone – Ars Arcana
The songs take a lot of strange turns, with chord changes and melodies never quite leading where you expect, but ending up somewhere tasteful nonetheless.
Album Reviews
Review: Khabal – The Divine Deception
This blackened deathcore album will chill you with its brutally crushing downtuned riffs, and agonizing gutturals. If you’re not mentally prepared for this album, I’d turn elsewhere.

Review: Giant’s Knife – Oracle
A solid atmospheric, djenty debut album from a small band in Minnesota.
