Review: Rust Belt Gothic – Collapsar
This is a bit of an experimental album combining electronic, power metal, and prog metal influences.
Review: Temenigru – Terminal
Terminal is filled with great ideas, but it scarcely gives any of them the time they deserve.
Review: Alustrium – A Moment to Silence
A modern, melodic take on traditional progressive death metal
Review: Acausal Intrusion – Nulitas
An otherworldly, transcendental trip through challenging chaos – sinister, twisted, blackened, dissonant chaos, perfectly balanced on the edge of consciousness.
Review: Circle of Sighs – Narci
One of the most bizarre and innovative albums of the year thus far.
Review: Gn0sis – Pro Terra
Instrumental tech death that’s exactly what you signed up for
Review: Silver Talon – Decadence and Decay
Oregon’s latest export is a very Talonted band that will surely fill all your Nevermore cravings and more
Review: Canvas Solaris – Chromosphere
One of the most technical albums of the year. Canvas Solaris returns with no loss of guitar shredding and complex riffs. Now with some tech-thrash influences.
Review: Graveborn – Transmigrator
Well made deathcore record, but it doesn’t stray a large amount from the current norms of the genre.
Review: Mothman and the Thunderbirds – Into the Hollow
A fun album about the uncovering of some of the world’s most hidden conspiracies. This is a decent edition for collectors of progressive stoner/sludge metal.
