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.
Review: Lascaille’s Shroud – Othercosmic Divinations II
Blog recurring artist Lascaille’s Shroud come out with a release that’s both a continuation of their discography and isn’t.
Review: Blackshape – Blackshape
Accurately self-proclaimed “Heavy, beautiful math”
Review: Stone Healer – Conquistador
An unlikely but outstanding combination of Opethian grunge and blackened mindfuckery that’s honest, soulful, and relentlessly engaging.
Review: Cicada the Burrower – Corpseflower
This is a truly magical and utterly unique album filled with lush, mellow, hypnotic soundscapes that eerily distort themselves into blackened, pained harshness, without skipping a jazzy beat. You need to hear it to believe it.
Review: Dead World Reclamation – Aura of Iniquity
A grandiose melodeath anthology of Lovecraftian tales.
