					<description><![CDATA[When you really stop to think about it, Progressive music can be anything you want it to be, and this album was an example of how far the genre can be pushed. The part of me who has to categorize everything he hears for my own reference point and for a guide for listeners is frustrated that I can’t find the proper word to describe their music. However, the other part of me who knows good music when he hears it is completely satisfied.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“Hiraeth” is beautiful, well balanced, but also with enough unsuspecting turns and breaks that every time you listen you can’t help but discover and/or hear something that you hadn’t noticed before. That to me makes a record a diamond in the rough, as you just don’t have a clue when the explorations will be complete. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[AGENBITE MISERY hails from New Hampshire. In February 2026, the band will be releasing their debut album, "Remorse of Conscience." The album is an experimental metal interpretation of "Ulysses" by James Joyce. This month Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, was able to catch up with Sam Graff (guitars, vocals, synth) to discuss the some deeper details about the band, their aspirations, and their upcoming album as well as the curious link between literature and metal.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When I imagine the future of Metal, sure, the classical styles will always be there. But this sound is what will occupy the fringes. It’s a kaleidoscopic journey through sound, where boundaries dissolve and styles bleed into one another with both chaos and purpose. “Doulithe” is an album for those who crave surprise, who find joy in dissonance and beauty in contradiction. It is a triumph of experimentation—a record that doesn’t ask for your understanding, only your surrender.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is a very promising debut album, and they have almost reached the pinnacle already…but not quite. They do nearly everything right on the album except for varying the pacing of the songs. They set out with a boundless vision of where the music can take them, and don’t put any restraints on themselves, and that is a good starting point. But the crawling nature of the songs holds back the total advancement of the album. Still, this is a band to keep an eye on for sure.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This album strikes a rare balance between Progressive intricacy, dark storytelling, and glimmers of light that struggle to break through its somber and angry tones. These stories unfold over a meticulously crafted backdrop of shifting time signatures, complex layers, and atmospheric transitions that leave each track feeling like an unfolding chapter in a larger, haunting novel. Each song feels carefully plotted, its emotional intensity mounting steadily, only to shift directions unexpectedly—a trademark of great Progressive music. This album stands as a masterful blend of Progressive ambition and lyrical poignancy, immersing the listener in a carefully crafted sonic landscape. For anyone who seeks music that is as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally resonant, a powerful journey not to be missed, and their best album in many years.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This was an unusual album in many ways. The only real ode to Death Metal is in the vocals, and some harder elements in the music. The sound was wide open for me, and they made some very strong steps forward into the varied and sometimes odd world of Progressive Metal. I also enjoyed their dark brand of music immensely. This is definitely a band to keep an eye on.]]></description>

There are still the hardened structures of Metal but they are tempered with hooks. I can’t say this enough…this album is all about a great balance.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The album is dark, a place where melodies twist and turn through corridors of haunting echoes and sudden, sharp dissonance, creating a wall of sound that is both crushing and exhilarating. Vocals emerge from the depths like tortured whispers, and rhythms pulse erratically, at times lulling you into a trance-like state. There’s a feeling that something is always lurking just out of sight, something that haunts the spaces between the sounds. It’s like being trapped in a fevered dream that teeters on the brink of nightmare, compelling you to keep listening, even as it pulls you deeper into its embrace.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Consider the fact that this music was composed and performed by one person, and consider his unusual and intelligent approach to songwriting. Next, consider the way he flawlessly combines several genres of Metal. Last, consider that all of this is wrapped up into a sound that can blast through you windows at break-neck speed and leave your home smoldering from the flames, and that is exactly what makes it such a vital album. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Once again, the Fins prove their paramount songwriting ability. This sound is unique, and carries with it elements of old School Prog with modern Death Metal. The combine these two things flawlessly, into a sound that reminds me of some of the best music of yesteryear but it retains a modern edge, with plenty of listenability.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is no doubt that this is a unique album, even in considering the annals of Progressive music. Some critics might even argue that it suffers from a lack of cohesion, but I think the diversity of the album is its greatest strength.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Overall, what strikes me most about the album, besides the fantastic musicianship, is the band’s sense of unwavering confidence. Every note seems calculated, and each track interconnected, but yet the album breathes, and deeply. This is indeed a new pinnacle of Progressive Metal, and the band carries that flag high.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For me, the album was like a project in extremes, contrast, and the uncommon chord progressions that define his career. The music touches each extreme, from tender, sweet passages to ones that bite with the fangs of a viper, and you never know what is coming next. His compositions are masterful, as always, and this far into his career he shouldn’t have a bag so deep and vast, yet he does. ]]></description>
