Review: Fliege – One Day They’ll Wonder What Happened Here
“I dunno what the hell’s in there, but it’s weird and pissed off, whatever it is.”
Review: Diagonal Path – Atheist Cathedrals
A strong showing of technical strengths that doesn’t go out of its way just to be different.
Review: Gonemage – Handheld Demise
What was originally intended to scare my peers ended up hurting my ears; however, Gonemage still have a relatively unique take on avant garde black metal worth trying for as long as you can stand it.
Review: iNFiNiEN – Beyond the Veil
A fourth outing from the chaotic and jazzy Philadelphia band with their caps lock key stuck half on.
Review: Arsena – Blood Rusted Mother Earth
Band with designs on genre defying progressive experimentation release a straight thrash album instead.
Review: Marbin – Dirty Horse
A genre-bending masterpiece of jazz fusion.
Review: Barn – Habitat
Barn’s Habitat is the ideal way for kids born in the 90’s and later to experience old school death metal.
Review: Parthian – Desolation of a Ceaseless Dawn
Parthian exceed superficial expectations with their level of songwriting coherency and proficiency, establishing a Lovecraftian narrative and hitting home with excellent, diverse compositional material.
Review: Blake Hobson – The Spectaculator
A spectacular journey that fans of zany, wonderfully composed prog should jump on right away.
Review: Odyssey – Venomous Rhetoric
A 50/50 blend of Rush and Motorhead that isn’t as exciting as that sounds.
