Review: Fall of Stasis – The Chronophagist
Tech death musician tries to write about an album that’s not really tech death. Fails miserably. More at 11.
Review: Iomair – Fishing For An Apparition
I do not like folk metal.
Review: Burned in Effigy – Rex Mortem
A young band to watch, debuting with well-balanced melodeath full of technical and neoclassical elements
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.
