River Black – River Black (Review)
This is the debut album from River Black, a metal/hardcore band from the US.
Featuring current and ex-members of bands such as Municipal Waste, Burnt by the Sun, and Revocation, River Black already have a wealth of experience in them. Additionally, with the multiple members Continue reading
Extinguish the Sun – Antihero (Review)
Extinguish the Sun are an alternative metal band from the US and this is their debut album.
Extinguish the Sun describe their music with reference to bands such as Mastodon, Clutch, Corrosion of Conformity, and Every Time I Die, and I have to say that sets the scene for their music pretty well. Continue reading
Wells Valley – The Orphic (Review)
Wells Valley are a Portuguese post-metal band and this is their latest EP.
This EP features two new songs and a Pink Floyd cover, and is the band’s follow up release to 2015’s very enjoyable Matter as Regent.

Of the Sun – Before a Human Path (Review)
Of the Sun are a progressive metal band from the US and this is their second album.
This is an interesting brand of progressive metal – Of the Sun essentially take the groove metal of bands like Pantera and Lamb of God and mix it with a bit of modern progressive music that has hints of Gojira, Mastodon and Alice in Chains in it. Continue reading
Telekinetic Yeti – Abominable (Review)
Telekinetic Yeti are a US stoner/doom metal band and this is their debut album.
With a heady whiff of stoner, Clutch and Black Sabbath-esque vibes, Telekinetic Yeti deliver over 40 minutes of psychedelic doom rock/metal for the listener’s delectation. Add in some Red Fang and Mastodon and you have a very full album. Continue reading
Floods – Floods (Review)
Floods are a US black metal band and this is their debut EP.

Palmer – Surrounding the Void (Review)
Palmer are a post-metal band from Switzerland and this is their third album.
Palmer play contemporary heavy music that takes in elements of metal, sludge, progressive metal, post-metal and post-hardcore into its embrace. These influences manifest in various ways throughout the album, but Continue reading
Bearstorm – Biophobia (Review)
Bearstorm are a progressive black metal band from the US and this is their latest EP.
Bearstorm play progressive black metal, but if you haven’t heard them before I can all but guarantee that they don’t sound as you’d expect them to.
Their previous album Americanus was an unusual record. A very good one, but a very individual one that was probably too much of an acquired taste for most. A shame, but their loss, (whoever they are), is our gain. Continue reading
