Review: A Kew’s Tag – Hephioz
Hephioz is an amazing listening experience that will tell you a story twofold, once by the lyrics and the other by the instrumentation.
Review: Dawn Fades – Ode
Metalgaze with an effective somber atmosphere
Review: Seth Angerer – Utrotningen | Symphony No. 2
An enjoyable “instrumetal” album that manages to avoid most of the common traps of the genre.
Review: ReFrame – Reaching Revery
A behemoth of a passion project comes up with mixed results.
Review: The Reticent – The Oubliette
A uniquely harrowing look into Alzheimer’s disease, The Oubliette is an emotional progressive metal powerhouse
Review: Counteractt – Universal Sadness
Come for the pipe organ intro, stay for the deathcore carnage.
Review: Sundr – Solar Ships
An album made for the current moment: Post-Metal that reflects feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Review: Fires in the Distance – Echoes from Deep November
The template is awesome, but they come back to it an awful lot.
Review: Iress – Flaw
A hypnotic Post-Doom grower of an album.
Review: Intercepting Pattern – The Encounter
The Encounter seems to be an apt name for this album, seeing as this blend of jazz and almost death/tech style metal does seem to come from its own little planet outside of the rest of the scene.
