Review: Xenobiotic – Hate Monolith
Xenobiotic’s new brutally heavy EP shows great promise for the band’s future!
Review: Virtual Symmetry – Virtual Symmetry
Sometimes a return to my origin–bread and butter prog metal–is all I need.
Review: Ahasver – Causa Sui
A brilliant debut with a confident sound and a bulldozing sense of purpose.
Review: First Signs Of Frost – Anthropocene
Former associates of Daniel Tompkins re-emerge from hibernation for a new full-length release.
Review: Vauruvã – Por Nós da Ventania

Review: Warforged – The Grove | Sundial
Beyond disappointing.
Review: GUDSFORLADT – Friendship, Love and War
An hour of heavy metal infused black metal turns out to be way too much of a good thing.
Review: Toehider – I Have Little To No Memories of These Memories
I’ve heard eight minute songs that felt like a lifetime, but I was thoroughly captivated and never bored one bit by this forty-eight minute long song.
Review: Aeternam – Heir of the Rising Sun
The rise and fall of empires is no easy topic to tackle, yet Aeternam write of the rise of the Ottomans with aplomb and ceaseless heart-stopping moments.
Review: Etrange – Enigme
A sonic celestial event; undoubtedly one of the best instrumental prog albums of the year.
