Review: We Are William – We Are William
A progressive metal collective bringing together a range of influences from 00s-10s bands. But do they pull it off?
Review: Hunted – Deliver Us
Do you like 80s metal, but do you not spontaneously combust when any of the words “modern” or “Nevemore” are uttered? If so, check this out.
Lost in Time: Hephystus – Burn the Page
In a time before djent and metalcore, melodic prog metal was kin- just kidding. This album’s pretty neat though.
Review: Summoner’s Circle – Chaos Vector
Summoner’s Circle arguably learns from past albums and illustrates a concise picture. This is a focused execution of dark synths, death-doom, and blackened death metal influences.
Review: The Cyberiam – Connected
The Cyberiam deliver a balanced reinterpretation of Rush-ian prog rock but with a modern twist.
Review: Terminus – The Silent Bell Toll
Out of the swamplands of thick sludge and angry rednecks, we now stumble upon… pop sludge? What? Did someone dump a sugar truck in my swamp or something?
Review: The Neal Morse Band – Innocence & Danger
A stellar late-career release from a group of legends
Review: Windfaerer – Breaths of Elder Dawns
A lovely epic folk/black metal album that is NOT sketchy.
Review: Electroqute – Tanpasin
Tanpasin demonstrates a good level of quality control: putting out consistently good riffs and impressive technical performances in every song.
