Reports from the Underground: Halfway Through 2022
A run down of 18 of our favorite albums through the first half of the year.
Review: Ckraft – Epic Discordant Vision
Epic Discordant Vision is the perfect title for this album; it’s a grand feast with fifty minutes of harsh riffage, tenor sax leads, and accordion noodling.
Review: Dol Theeta – Monad
Of man’s many attempts at space travel, not every mission was a success, but the times where they were are downright glorious.
Review: Philosophobia – Philosophobia
A generic romp back to 2007 just retreading the same dull cliches of traditional prog metal
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.
Review: Teravolt – Waking up
A strong contender for bobblehead album of the year, Waking up will have your head bouncing around without any authorization!
Review: Dvota – Antichiromantia
Despite small setbacks, Dvota delivers a lean and powerful album sure to please genre fans.
Review: Charlie Griffiths – Tiktaalika
The best fossilized slab of regular ‘ol prog metal you’ll hear all year.
Review: Rick Massie – Guided to an Imperfect Light
An album whose flaws becoming the hallmarks on a compellingly charming album.
Review: URNE – SERPENT & SPIRIT
An absolute sludge metal riff factory with shades of thrash and hardcore.
