Review: Seth Angerer – Utrotningen | Symphony No. 2
An enjoyable “instrumetal” album that manages to avoid most of the common traps of the genre.
Review: Avandra – Skylighting
Ethereal prog from Puerto Rico that grows on you.
Review: IER – 妖怪
A 95 minute behemoth that’s guaranteed to blow your socks off.
Review: Starbynary – Divina Commedia: Paradiso
Despite some moments of promise, most of the album is stuck in the dead zone of “complex but not interesting” prog parts.
Review: Rosebourg – Sweeter Than Your Love
Power-prog meets melodeath.
Review: Alustrium – Insurmountable
The next generation of progressive death metal is in good hands.
Review: Subconscious – The Inevitable
A death/thrash blend that falls a bit flat in more ways than one.
Review: The Chemical Mind – That Benign Terror
Some math-flavored blackgaze for your Nothing But Black Metal November.
Review: Khaima – Owing to the Influence
Tool-Esque alt-prog with condensed song writing
Review: ReFrame – Reaching Revery
A behemoth of a passion project comes up with mixed results.
