Review: Dessiderium – Aria
A great progressive death album with a hint of optimism instead of the usual entirely brooding fare.
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.
Review: Eye of Purgatory – The Lighthouse
Melodic death that is heavy, not overindulgent, and well-balanced.
Review: Lascaille’s Shroud – Othercosmic Divinations II
Blog recurring artist Lascaille’s Shroud come out with a release that’s both a continuation of their discography and isn’t.
Review: Dead World Reclamation – Aura of Iniquity
A grandiose melodeath anthology of Lovecraftian tales.
Review: Unflesh – Inhumation
A great blackened techy melodic death album that has atmosphere to match its morose cover.
Review: Paranorm – Empyrean
Extreme thrash with exceptional lead guitar work.
Review: Oceana – The Pattern
A somewhat deathened take on standard prog metal
Review: Descend – The Deviant
Descend may be the band that us Opeth fans have been looking for all these years. This is an album that is truly remarkable. A faithful continuation of Opeth’s formula all while keeping updated with the meta of twenty years of progressive death metal.
