Review: Conspiracy of Zero – Ahthos Arouris
Workaday melodeath with touches of folk-tinged brilliance shining through
Missed Album 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.
Missed Album Review: Inhalo – Sever
Alt metal gets creative.
Missed Album Review: Tiwanaku – Earth Base One
A wildly ambitious debut release results in an inconsistent album
Missed Album Review: Disillusion – Ayam
A vast, dreamlike masterpiece.
Review: Wounded Knee – 122 Lune
Italian progressive metal veterans Wounded Knee return after some time with the album 122 Lune. Not trying to break new ground, the album makes for an engaging listen but can sometimes feel a bit derivative.
