Review: Yawn – Materialism
It may seem like there isn’t much left that hasn’t been done already, but I can assure you Yawn will prove you otherwise.
Review: Himmellegeme – Variola Vera
A near perfect psychedelic prog outing from a massively underrated act
Review: Lysjakt – Ethereal Palace
A modernized, death-metallized metalcore bop with great energy and excellent production.
Review: Truls Haugen – The Haugen Archives
A small, solo output that is enjoyable and memorable.
Review: Meer – Playing House
Catchy hooks and outstanding vocals from a Norwegian alt-pop octet.
Review: Enrapture – Another Green Drought
Post-metal cupcake with sludge, black metal and math rock sprinkles.
Review: Brotthogg – The Die Is Cast
Blackened Death with some cool techy and thrashy elements thrown in. Also one member only plays guitar solos.
Review: Course of Fate – Mindweaver
A solid melodic prog metal offering
Review: Umpfel – As the Water Covers the Sea
Mixed vocals, weird time signatures, soaring guitars, and just a little bit of a lot of JAZZ.
Review: Hex A.D. – Netherworld Triumphant
A (good) attempt at being Candlemass. There, that’s the album.
