Review: Vrylnia – The Other World
One of the most perfectly standard symphonic power metal albums ever produced.
Review: Humaniac – Until The Light Fakes Us
Another tech-death album for the pile.
Review: Apeiron Bound – Multiplicity
A showcase of a bizarro take on progressive metal.
Review: Empress – Fateweaver
Wonderfully authentic power-prog with stellar production!
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: Christian Cosentino – High Rising Times
This is what you’d get if Aquilus commissioned Empath-era Devin Townsend as both a collaborator and producer.
Review: Ambrius – Effigies of Time
Ambrius boldly attempt to break the mould, but said mould is only ever broken temporarily before they fall back into their routine
Review: Backfire – The Two of Us
Like an enormous Christmas dinner, Backfire will both satisfy and stuff you in equal measure.
Review: Dol Theeta – Monad
Of man’s many attempts at space travel, not every mission was a success, but the times where they were are downright glorious.
Review: Atomic Symphony – HYBRIS
The first half of a two-part concept album that embraces a symphonic sound while retaining a more traditional progressive style.
