Review: The Argonaut – The Argonaut
Like watching a B-movie in more ways than one.
Review: Speech Act – Letters on Extinction’s Piece
Perfection without pretention, this is fucking superb! Scratching my O’Brother itch, but so so much more – huge dynamics and post-hardcore emotions collide with impeccable songwriting sensibilities in a compelling reflection on the destruction humanity has wrought on nature.
Review: Burial in the Sky – The Consumed Self
Lose yourself in this dynamic, progressive, sax-filled technical death metal epic.
Review: Moon Machine – Moon Machine
If you are someone who wishes Keor never would have diverged from Steven Wilson/Opeth inspired sound he established in Petrichor, I think I might just have the album for you.
Review: Prognostication – Collapse
Finally! A progressive technical death album with some true melodic flair and a styling of Native Construct and similar artists in the cleaner sections.
Review: Scattered Storm – Oblivion
Quality musicianship dragged down by poor mixing and a lack of originality.
Review: Cognitive – Malevolent Thoughts of a Hastened Extinction
Looking to get pummeled over the head with a few cool turns along the way? This is for that mood.
Review: Giant’s Knife – Oracle
A solid atmospheric, djenty debut album from a small band in Minnesota.
Review: No Living Witness – Cosmic Simulacra
A very unique, genre-bending take on black/death.
Review: Noctambulist – The Barren Form
Dynamic, technical dissodeath offering a bleak, suffocating, atmospheric take on a crowded genre.
