Review: Oak Pantheon – The Absence
In an attempt to infuse every metal genre into one, Oak Pantheon managed to craft an okay album.
Missed Albums Review: Chaos Frame – Entropy
After a long delay, I finally get to dunk on a former TPS writer’s album. Progressive power metal has never been this bad, trust me!
Missed Album Review: Ode and Elegy – Ode and Elegy
We sing now one very long song.
Missed Album Review: Toxik – Dis Morta
With as many hooks as a tackle shop, Toxik play mind-bending technical thrash metal which is the best the genre has seen since Terminal Redux.
Missed Album Review: Tiwanaku – Earth Base One
A wildly ambitious debut release results in an inconsistent album
Missed Album Review: Scarcity – Aveilut
Hovering at the very outskirts of listenability, Aveilut is the terrifying sounds of an accomplished composer reconciling with death–truly haunting.
Review: Tchornobog/Abyssal – Tchornobog/Abyssal
The dream team (Andy and Zach obviously) is back at it again to review the new monstrous split full length between two experimental death metal powerhouses.
Review: SkyThala – Boreal Despair
A bunch of guys from Tennessee wrote high modern Russian classical??
Review: Anarchÿ – Sentïence
Anarchÿ’s first full-length is complex, aggressive, and melodic, and contains a nearly 32-minute thrash metal epic. Sentïence truly is an album like few others.
Review: Lamentations – Passion of Depression
Well, well, if it isn’t one of this year’s best prog death releases.
