Review: Scaphoid – Absent Passages
An ambitious instrumental album that sends us through an ethereal journey by combining elements of djent and post rock.
Review: Empress – Premonition
Post-metal that is surprisingly energetic and catchy.
Review: James Norbert Ivanyi – Omen Faustum
A dark instrumental prog album that can hold its own.
Review: Convulsif – Extinct
Imagine spinning a wheel with 8 genres on it, the wheel breaking, and deciding you can probably get a bit of each of them into an instrumental album just to be safe.
Review: Gargoyl – Gargoyl
Here is that love child of Alice in Chains and Opeth that you didn’t know you needed.
Review: Holmgang Ov Gensokyo – NIGHT FESTIVAL OF TEN-THOUSAND DEMONS
A killer Touhou metal record that shows off exceptional musical creativity while still retaining the best parts of the original tracks.
Review: Echolot – Destrudo
Immersive Post Metal for a reflective, lonely evening
Review: Bound – Haunts
Melancholy, dense shoegaze that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
Review: The Erkonauts – I Want It to End
If Mastodon and Gojira had a tightly written and skillfully produced punk-baby. This album packs a punch and is over before you know it.
Review: White Walls – Grandeur
A surprisingly tasteful slice of melodic and progressive metal from Romania.
