Vordemfall – Gravity Problems (Review)
Vordemfall are a German noise rock band and this is their debut album.
Here we have 32 minutes of experimental rock, mixing elements of noise, progressive, and post-rock together into an expressive and quite thrilling collection of tracks. Continue reading “Vordemfall – Gravity Problems (Review)”
Stellar Master Elite – Hologram Temple (Review)
This is the fourth album from German Black Metallers Stellar Master Elite.
Hologram Temple is the much anticipated follow up to 2015’s massively enjoyable III: Eternalism – The Psychospherical Chapter. It has not disappointed. Continue reading “Stellar Master Elite – Hologram Temple (Review)”
Endon – Boy Meets Girl (Review)
Endon are a Japanese experimental post-hardcore band and this is their third album.
Holy crap, what the Hell is this? I looove it when you stumble blindly upon something as unexpectedly individual as this, especially when it’s done so well. Done poorly, this would be unlistenable nonsense, (and I’m sure there are some that would regard this as such), but Endon have a talent, it seems, for producing unusual, non-easy Continue reading “Endon – Boy Meets Girl (Review)”
Unhold – Here Is the Blood (Review)
Unhold are a sludge/post-metal band from Switzerland and this is their fifth album.
2015’s Towering lived up to its name, and was a monolithic and notable record. I said that Towering offered Continue reading “Unhold – Here Is the Blood (Review)”
Entropia – Vacuum (Review)
This is the third album from Entropia, a Polish experimental/post-black metal band.
I am extremely fond of Entropia. Both Vesper and Ufonaut have had much rotation on my playlists, so when I saw they had a new album released I was quite excited. Continue reading “Entropia – Vacuum (Review)”
Behemoth – I Loved You at Your Darkest (Review)
Behemoth are a veteran Polish blackened death metal band and this is their eleventh album.
Containing the by-now core of the Behemoth sound, but expanding on this in various ways across different tracks, this new album is a very strong addition to the band’s discography, one which I’m sure with rightly garner much praise. Continue reading “Behemoth – I Loved You at Your Darkest (Review)”
Skullcave – Fear (Review)
Skullcave are a progressive doom band from Australia and this is their debut album.
I was drawn to this album by the enigmatic album cover, and then reeled in by the description of the music – “an ambitious, qualitative blend of thick doom, dreamy instrumentals and layered vocals.” Continue reading “Skullcave – Fear (Review)”
KEN Mode – Loved (Review)
KEN Mode are a noise rock/hardcore band from Canada and this is their seventh album.
Loved is 35 minutes of violent mood and vicious emotion. Primarily mixing together metal, hardcore, and noise rock, the album also contains elements of extremity that come from black and death metal backgrounds, as well as moments of industrial and experimental forays. Saxophone is used relatively frequently. Continue reading “KEN Mode – Loved (Review)”
Manes – Slow Motion Death Sequence (Review)
Manes are a Norwegian avant-garde rock band, and this is their fifth album.
New Manes is always a pleasure to hear. This is the band’s first material since 2014’s Be All End All, and once again they show why they are so highly regarded. Continue reading “Manes – Slow Motion Death Sequence (Review)”
