This is the fifth album from Grey Skies Fallen, a progressive/melodic doom band from the US.
I enjoyed The Many Sides of Truth from 2014, so this new release is well-received. Continue reading
Frigoris – …In Stille (Review)
This is the fourth album from Frigoris, an atmospheric post-black metal band from Germany.
Frigoris’ post-black metal is atmospheric and immersive, and as you journey across this 65-minute album, you’ll also discover aspects of doom, progressive metal, and post-rock that are incorporated into the music’s textured tapestry. Continue reading
Thoughts Factory – Elements (Review)
This is the second album from German progressive metallers Thoughts Factory.
Six years after the enjoyable Lost, Thoughts factory are back with a new album, a new singer, and 54 minutes of professional, accomplished metal. More than that, it’s a damn good listen too. Continue reading
Aethyrick – Gnosis (Review)
This is the second album from Finnish black metallers Aethyrick.
2018’s Praxis was an enjoyable slice of personable second wave darkness, bolstered by both personality and ability. It doesn’t seem like too long ago that it was released, so I was surprised to see a new album already. It seems the band are not content to rest on their laurels. Continue reading
Body Void/Keeper – Split (Review)
Body Void and Keeper are both US doom/sludge bands, and they have teamed up to deliver this split.
Both Body Void, (I Live Inside a Burning House/You Will Know the Fear You Forced upon Us), and Keeper, (Split with Sea Bastard/The Space Between Your Teeth/Split with Old Witch), have Continue reading
Asgrauw – IJsval (Review)
This is the fourth album from Asgrauw, a black metal band from the Netherlands.
Previous full-length Gronspech was an enjoyable album that appealed to the old-school black metal fanbase, and new album IJsval continues in this same vein, with 38 minutes of biting blackened material. Continue reading
Shuulak – Citrinitas (Review)
This is the latest EP from Shuulak, a heavy metal band from the Netherlands.
This release contains three songs and an outro; 14 minutes of infectious, high quality heavy metal. Continue reading
Megalith Levitation – Acid Doom Rites (Review)
This is the debut album from Megalith Levitation, a Russian stoner/doom band.
There’s only four songs on this album, but with a total duration of 77 minutes, Acid Doom Rites is a whopper. Continue reading
Macabre Demise – Awakening (Review)
Macabre Demise is a one-man death metal band from Germany. This is the project’s third album.
Now here’s a band that always seems to hit the spot for me. Both 2015’s Homicidal Parasites and 2017’s Apocalypse demonstrated in no uncertain terms how effective Macabre Demise’s music could be, and now we’re treated to a third full-length. Continue reading
Estuarine – Wisdom of Silenus (Review)
This is the latest EP from Estuarine, a one-man death metal band.
I greatly enjoyed both Lucid/Entheogen and Sic Erat Scriptum, so a new EP’s worth of material is most welcome. Continue reading
