Moanaa are a Polish post-metal band, and this is their latest EP.
Both 2014’s Descent and 2016’s Passage made great impressions, so when a new 26-minute EP appeared, it was a time of rejoicing. This EP contains three tracks – two original cuts and a Placebo cover, the latter of which features a guest vocalist. Continue reading “Moanaa – Torches (Review)”
Wells Valley are a Portuguese Post-Metal band. This is their second album.

This is the second album from Polish post-black metallers Rosk.
One of the absolute highlights of 2017 was Rosk’s superb debut album Miasma. It’s now 2019, and I was thrilled to receive Rosk’s latest album Remnants. However, this soon turned to trepidation, as I discovered that Remnants is not another post-black metal masterpiece. Rather, it’s an acoustic post-folk one, and my initial Continue reading “Rosk – Remnants (Review)”

Lambs are an Italian post-metal/sludge/hardcore band and this is their debut album.
It’s been a while since I last caught up with Lambs, but it seems that time has been good to them. They now operate in more atmospheric waters than they used to, despite a large portion of their sound still being fuelled by rage and hatred. Continue reading “Lambs – Malice (Review)”
Frostmoon Eclipse are an Italian black metal band and this is their seventh album.
Frostmoon Eclipse play black metal that blends together elements of old and new(ish), coming across like a combination of where the classic second wave sound was circa 2000, while also having more than enough of the band’s own contemporary personalities mixed in. Continue reading “Frostmoon Eclipse – Worse Weather to Come (Review)”
Malevich are a grindcore/sludge metal band from the US and this is their second album.
What foul, twisted mass of ugly heaviness do we have before us here then? I do so enjoy hybrid releases like this, where multiple styles and subgenres are smashed together into an almost unrecognisable whole. On Our Hollow Continue reading “Malevich – Our Hollow (Review)”
Uneven Structure are a French progressive metal band and this is their third album.
I really enjoyed 2017’s La Partition, so it’s good to have some more material from the band. On Paragon Uneven Structure run through 53 minutes of modern progressive metal that demonstrates a band at the height of their abilities. Continue reading “Uneven Structure – Paragon (Review)”
Sons of Alpha Centauri are from the UK and this is their latest release. They play instrumental progressive rock.
Sons of Alpha Centauri return! I’ve enjoyed their work in the past, having been introduced to them on their split with Karma to Burn, and then subsequently impressed by their 2018 album Continuum. Continue reading “Sons of Alpha Centauri – Buried Memories (Review)”
Sorxe are a post-metal/sludge band from the US and this is their third album.
Following up 2014’s Surrounded by Shadows and 2017’s Matter & Void, we now have the much-anticipated The Ark Burner. Continue reading “Sorxe – The Ark Burner (Review)”
