Review: Electroqute – Tanpasin
Tanpasin demonstrates a good level of quality control: putting out consistently good riffs and impressive technical performances in every song.

Review: Speech Act – Letters on Extinction’s Piece
Perfection without pretention, this is fucking superb! Scratching my O’Brother itch, but so so much more – huge dynamics and post-hardcore emotions collide with impeccable songwriting sensibilities in a compelling reflection on the destruction humanity has wrought on nature.

Review: Loch Vostok – Opus Ferox – The Great Escape
Quality writing has no genre, and it carries this album that somehow manages to have no identity for 48 minutes and still be good.

Review: Moon Machine – Moon Machine
If you are someone who wishes Keor never would have diverged from Steven Wilson/Opeth inspired sound he established in Petrichor, I think I might just have the album for you.

Two former members of Spiral Architect teamed up to bring the 90s into 20s, but did they succeed?

This is a bit of an experimental album combining electronic, power metal, and prog metal influences.

Review: Papangu – Holoceno
An incredibly musically ambitious album that is executed as well as it is envisioned. 7 years in the making, Holoceno combines progressive sludge metal with elements of avant garde and zeuhl.
