Review: Marlugubre – Maladie
Have you ever wondered what a band trying their hardest to emulate 90s Opeth would sound like?
Review: Stengah – Soma Sema
“While we all have lots of bands who influence still, we all rip off Meshuggah!” – Devin Townsend Project
Review: Human By Nature – Eläimys
Eläimys is eerie and organic, filled with ambiguity and wonder.
Review: Hippotraktor – Meridian
This is another excellent album to come out of Pelagic Records; it’s angry, sophisticated, and heavy like an organized crate of bricks.

A college essay of an album, presented to the class of post black 101 (Taught by Neige)
Review: Tiny Tree – XI
So much done right, yet dragged down so far.
Review: Dawn Fades – Ode
Metalgaze with an effective somber atmosphere
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.
