Review: Dessiderium – Aria
A great progressive death album with a hint of optimism instead of the usual entirely brooding fare.
Review: Hands of Despair – The Crimson Boughs (And Other Short Tales)
They’ve done it again.
Review: Deviant Process – Nurture
Deliciously proggy techdeath with palpable Cynic influences.
Review: Épiphanie – L’aube
The best musical character arc of 2021.
Review: Melancholy – Waiting for Darkness
Would you like some jazz with your blast beats?
Review: Diskord – Degenerations
Extremely bonkers death metal that somehow just works.
Review: Burial in the Sky – The Consumed Self
Lose yourself in this dynamic, progressive, sax-filled technical death metal epic.
Review: Prognostication – Collapse
Finally! A progressive technical death album with some true melodic flair and a styling of Native Construct and similar artists in the cleaner sections.
Review: Fractal Universe – The Impassable Horizon
Tech death with a chorus.
Review: Crimson Dimension – Crimson Dimension
A blackened death album serving as a great debut for a new band.
