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.
Missed Album Review: Burden of Life – The Makeshift Conqueror
Small text to lure people into reading the review.
Review: The Advent Equation – Remnants of Oblivion
Is it death metal? Questionable. But it is an exceptional progressive metal release nonetheless.
Missed Album Review: Arise in Stability – Dose Again
I hate metalcore – why do I like this?
Review: The Spectre Beneath – The New Identity of Sidney Stone
Once again, they’ve found a nice spot between quirkiness and traditional metal that only sounds like themselves.
Review: Rosebourg – Sweeter Than Your Love
Power-prog meets melodeath.
Review: Gallows Hymn – The Age of Decadence
Where the highbrow meets the sloped brow.
Review: Arkan – Lila H
An interesting and unique blend of Melodeath and Traditional Middle Eastern Music
Review: Fires in the Distance – Echoes from Deep November
The template is awesome, but they come back to it an awful lot.
