Rivers of Nihil – Where Owls Know My Name (Review)

Rivers of NihilThis is the third album from US progressive death metallers Rivers of Nihil.

Dog Day Sunrise – When the Sky Comes Down (Review)

Dog Day SunriseDog Day Sunrise are a heavy metal band from the US and this is their latest album.

Mixing heavy metal with blues/hard rock, Dog Day Sunrise sound like they have escaped form the 90s in many ways.

Dreamarcher – Harding (Review)

DreamarcherDreamarcher are a Norwegian metal band and this is their latest EP.

Dreamarcher’s 2016 self-titled debut album was notable for its atypical approach to emotive heavy music. It was an enjoyable album, and Harding is even more so.

The impressive musical skills of the jazz-trained band members are put to good use across these 18 minutes of non-standard delivery and passionate intensity. Continue reading “Dreamarcher – Harding (Review)”

Vorus – The Wretched Path (Review)

We’ve encountered Vorus before with the very solid Chamber of Laments demo from last year. Since then, what was once a solo project has now doubled its band members, and birthed a full eight tracks of old-school death metal devastation. Continue reading “Vorus – The Wretched Path (Review)”
