Review: The Resonance Project – Ad Astra
A refreshing entry into the somewhat stale instrudjental genre
Reports from the Underground: 2022 Albums of the Year
We Searched, We Listened, We Ranked, and We Voted! Here are our favorite albums from progressive metal in 2022.
Missed Albums Review: Antipope – Rex Mundi
What happens when you throw every melodic metal genre out there into a black metal sauce? Antipope happens!
Review: Oak Pantheon – The Absence
In an attempt to infuse every metal genre into one, Oak Pantheon managed to craft an okay album.
Review: Conspiracy of Zero – Ahthos Arouris
Workaday melodeath with touches of folk-tinged brilliance shining through
Missed Albums Review: Chaos Frame – Entropy
After a long delay, I finally get to dunk on a former TPS writer’s album. Progressive power metal has never been this bad, trust me!
Missed Album Review: Ode and Elegy – Ode and Elegy
We sing now one very long song.
Review: Thy Darkened Shade – Liber Lvcifer II: Mahapralaya
While the lyrics may be trope-y black metal, the music is anything but (that fretless bass)…
Missed Album Review: Downriver Dead Men Go – Ruins
An exploration of musical negative space that’s defined as much by absence as by its own content.
Missed Album Review: Toxik – Dis Morta
With as many hooks as a tackle shop, Toxik play mind-bending technical thrash metal which is the best the genre has seen since Terminal Redux.
