The Body Politic are a progressive/technical metal band from Canada. This is their latest release.
A lot of modern progressive metal is soulless, too-polished, lacking in bite, far too plastic sounding, and ultimately not heavy enough. There, I said it. The reason I’m saying it here, however, is that these shortfalls largely don’t apply to The Body Politic. Continue reading “The Body Politic – contr:addiction (Review)”
Intervals are a Canadian progressive metal band and this is their third album.
Essentially the product of just one creative mind, this album does, however, see a full band flesh out this mastermind’s vision. Continue reading “Intervals – The Way Forward (Review)”
Ketha are a Polish experimental metal band and this is their third album.
Combining elements of technical, progressive, modern, avant-garde, dissonant, and melodic metal into 43 minutes of material, this is an album that packs a lot into its playing time and uses this to take the listener on quite a journey. Continue reading “Ketha – 0 Hours Starlight (Review)”

Sympuls-E are a Russian melodic death metal band and this is their third album.
Apparently a rerecording of the band’s 2011 demo Зеркало Города, Mirror City is bright and shiny metal, but not without bite. Continue reading “Sympuls-E – Mirror City (Review)”
This is the sixteenth album from Canadian metal institution Annihilator.
Annihilator have always delivered quirky, enjoyable, if sometimes varied material for their fans, but no matter what they release it’s always at least good, and always a welcome listen. Continue reading “Annihilator – For the Demented (Review)”
Voids are a metalcore band from the US and this is their debut album.
Heavy, heavy, heavy! That’s the aim of Voids. Well, that and ripping up your local pit. Well, that and providing a singable chorus. Well, that and…okay, so there’s more to Voids than you might initially think, as they operate in a few different metalcore circles, and largely do all of them quite well. Continue reading “Voids – No Character: No Crown (Review)”
