Review: Azure – Of Brine And Angel’s Beaks
A dazzling and triumphant breath of fresh proggy air.
Review: Sketchshow – WAVES
One of the greatest joys in life, I firmly believe, is math rock, here’s why.
Review: Atvm – Famine, Putrid and Fucking Endless
A refreshingly unique take on death metal, offering playful riffs and outstanding bass. Unpretentious but undeniably technical, with ideas that are allowed to really, fully develop, in a way that breeds an almost psychedelic atmosphere without reliance on any tropes of the ‘psychedelic’ label. The mix is pristine, the songwriting is excellent. This is absolutely fucking fantastic.
Review: Voronoi – The Last Three Seconds
A good jazzy effort that sadly misses the mark.

Review: Dawnwalker – Ages
Emotionally gripping post-metal with tasteful, varied song-writing.
Review: Alpha Male Tea Party – Infinity Stare
Instrumental math rock/metal that comes up just short of memorable.

Once again, they’ve found a nice spot between quirkiness and traditional metal that only sounds like themselves.
Review: Ba’al – Ellipsism
Transcending the common tropes of Black Metal and bridging the gap with Post-Metal in style.
Review: Divided by Design – Stages to Osiris
Detailed rhythms highlighting shreddy, intense crescendos with keyboard acrobatics for energy in standard-but-not-standard prog metal.
