Review: The Red Charade – Primal
An almost fantastic hardcore offering marred by odd vocal choices.
Review: ShadowStrike – Fables & Folklore
From the realms of farms with the finest cows, this cheese has is aged 17 years.
Review: We Are William – We Are William
A progressive metal collective bringing together a range of influences from 00s-10s bands. But do they pull it off?
Lost in Time: Hephystus – Burn the Page
In a time before djent and metalcore, melodic prog metal was kin- just kidding. This album’s pretty neat though.
Review: Driving Slow Motion – Adrift:Abyss
A bite-sized chunk of blissful post rock.
Review: Tiny Tree – XI
So much done right, yet dragged down so far.
Review: Summoner’s Circle – Chaos Vector
Summoner’s Circle arguably learns from past albums and illustrates a concise picture. This is a focused execution of dark synths, death-doom, and blackened death metal influences.
Review: The Mask of the Phantasm – New Axial Age
The good vibes have struck as The Mars Volta members branch out into side-projects.
Review: Dawn Fades – Ode
Metalgaze with an effective somber atmosphere
Review: The Cyberiam – Connected
The Cyberiam deliver a balanced reinterpretation of Rush-ian prog rock but with a modern twist.
