Lost in Time: Children of Nova – The Complexity of Light
Step back with me into the distant past of 2009 so that we can… see the future? Prophetic visions are weird like that.
Review: URNE – A Feast on Sorrow
An eclectic fusion of metal genres with mixed impact
Review: East of the Wall – A Neutral Second
More bands should sound like if Thrice went super proggy and a bit jazzy
Review: Lo! – Gleaners
Lo and behold! Politically charged post-metal!
Review: NevBorn – Alkaios ⋅ Part I ⋅ The Eagle
Herculean runtimes await in this blend of post-hardcore and progressive metal that follows the labours of Disney’s favourite Greek demigod.
Missed Album Review: Ode and Elegy – Ode and Elegy
We sing now one very long song.
Review: First Signs Of Frost – Anthropocene
Former associates of Daniel Tompkins re-emerge from hibernation for a new full-length release.
Review: Without Waves – Comedian
Like the majestic flamingo, this is an inconsistent oddity, distracting to listen to yet perfectly adapted for its niche.
Review: Breaths – Though life has turned out nothing like I imagined, it is far better than I could have dreamt
Breaths brings us a brutal, genre-defying album with crushing lyrics with an unusual edge of optimism.
Review: Speech Act – Letters on Extinction’s Piece
Perfection without pretention, this is fucking superb! Scratching my O’Brother itch, but so so much more – huge dynamics and post-hardcore emotions collide with impeccable songwriting sensibilities in a compelling reflection on the destruction humanity has wrought on nature.
