The Sky Is are a Polish post-metal band and this is their second album.
Here we have a decent-length slab of post-metal with stoner and doom elements chucked in for good measure. At just under 30 minutes in duration, it fills a hole that you may not have realised needed filling. Continue reading “The Sky Is – Télépathie (Review)”

Demonsmoke are a sludge/doom band from the US and this is their debut album.
Wearing their influences on their sleeves, Demonsmoke exist in the same world as bands like Eyehategood, Iron Monkey, Dopethrone, and the like.

Façade are a doom band from the Netherlands and this is their debut album.
Although you could probably label this band as death/doom, Façade are a lot more nuanced than a lot of death/doom bands, and the music on Loathe is an advanced-level exploration of mood, substance, and engaging content. Continue reading “Façade – Loathe (Review)”

This is a collaborative release by two US one-man experimental artists; Gridfailure and Megalophobe.
As I always say when I encounter anything involving Gridfailure – this isn’t usually my cup of tea, but Gridfailure always deliver the goods, (here, here, here, and here). Continue reading “Gridfailure & Megalophobe – Dendritic (Review)”
Nomadic Rituals are an Irish doom band and this is their second album.
I’m going to start this review with all of my cards on the table, as they say; this is a great album and Nomadic Rituals deserve to be far higher profile than they currently are.
