Archelon – I // II (Review)
Archelon are a post-metal/sludge band from the UK and this is a compilation of their first two EPs.
Archelon’s sound is one that mixes that of Knut and Neurosis with a decent helping of Isis, alongside a dash of Zao and old Mastodon. Continue reading “Archelon – I // II (Review)”
The Hirsch Effekt – Eskapist (Review)
The Hirsch Effekt are a German progressive metal band and this is their fourth album.
Here we have 61 minutes of progressive metal/hardcore, the likes of which you rarely encounter among the faceless hordes of most nearly-interchangeable bands. Continue reading “The Hirsch Effekt – Eskapist (Review)”
Centuries of Decay – Centuries of Decay (Review)
Centuries of Decay are a Canadian extreme metal band and this is their debut album.
This is extreme metal that’s both atmospheric and progressive, borrowing liberally from many extreme metal styles and sub-genres, including modern progressive metal, post-metal, death metal, and black metal. Continue reading “Centuries of Decay – Centuries of Decay (Review)”
Wren – Auburn Rule (Review)
Wren are a UK sludge/post-metal band and this is their debut album.
I’ve enjoyed watching Wren develop across their 2015 split with Irk and then on their 2016 EP Host. Both releases impressed me and marked them out as ones to watch, placing them firmly on my radar. Well, it’s now 2017 and they’ve finally released their debut full length. It has been more than worth the wait. Continue reading “Wren – Auburn Rule (Review)”

Schammasch – The Maldoror Chants: Hermaphrodite (Review)
This is the latest EP from Swiss post-black metal band Schammasch.
Oh, Schammasch. You never quite know what they’re going to do next. Their last album, the colossal and immense Triangle, was so good it made it to the second position in my best of 2016 list.

Tombs – The Grand Annihilation (Review)
Tombs are a US post-black metal band and this is their fourth album.
Both 2014’s Savage Gold and last year’s All Empires Fall were absolute top-quality releases from this very well-regarded band. Mixing black metal with a whole host of other styles and influences to create something all Continue reading “Tombs – The Grand Annihilation (Review)”
Kuujeojabenojujanomiashikushija – HHEOALLE (Review)
Kuujeojabenojujanomiashikushija is a one-man, (I think), experimental death metal band from the US, (I think). This is the project’s second release, (I think).
Yep, I don’t really know much about this, other than the fact that this is 20 minutes of experimental death metal that does more right than it does wrong. Continue reading “Kuujeojabenojujanomiashikushija – HHEOALLE (Review)”
