Review: Sullen – Nodus Tollens – Act 2: Ascension
Do you worship The Contortionist? If so, I’ve got good news: you’re not the only one.
Review: Ashbreather – Hivemind
Mad scientists splice their brains with an extraterrestrial insect hivemind in Ashbreather’s sludgy, narrative-driven sophomore
Review: SkyThala – Boreal Despair
A bunch of guys from Tennessee wrote high modern Russian classical??
Review: Anarchÿ – Sentïence
Anarchÿ’s first full-length is complex, aggressive, and melodic, and contains a nearly 32-minute thrash metal epic. Sentïence truly is an album like few others.
Review: Collapse Astral – Dans la Vallée des Astres
The intro lured me in to thinking there would be a more experimental album within, but this is a reasonable debut outing.
Review: Cydemind – The Descent
A violin concerto for the modern age.
Review: Lamentations – Passion of Depression
Well, well, if it isn’t one of this year’s best prog death releases.
Review: Seventh Station – Heal the Unhealed
A rollicking work of frenetic, theatrical, bizarro progressive metal.
Review: Enezothe – Consensus Reality
This album would have been a better fit in 2010.
Review: Fliege – One Day They’ll Wonder What Happened Here
“I dunno what the hell’s in there, but it’s weird and pissed off, whatever it is.”
