Shagohod - A Curse That Hides the Door
May 9, 2026
Filler tracks are aplenty, so skip to the ones that matter.
review
Malconstruct - Entanglement
May 8, 2026
Y'all probably remember The Polar Express, right? Those poorly-made characters and their uncomfortable appearances? The uncanny valley was in full effect there, and it rears its inhuman head to me with this record's mixing. I'm no master, mixer, or producer, but I'm sure something's awry with a good 72% of "Entanglement."
review
Electric Sun Defence - Estuary
May 4, 2026
As you go along, your thoughts and emotions start to rise and fall with the music, drawing you deeper into each story . . . a clear sign of some bewitching songwriting.
review
Defect Designer - Depressants
April 27, 2026
Cervical acceleration-deceleration syndrome in music form.
review
Omnivortex - Throne Of Absolute Chaos
April 26, 2026
I'm partial when it comes to Finnish metal; I wrote for a Finnish metal magazine, puhun vähän suomea, and they do hold the record for the highest density of metal bands per capita.
review
Misty Route - Ethos
April 23, 2026
Most alt-metal I've listened to only scrapes the iceberg of introspectivity, so I'm ready to observe the "Ethos" of Misty Route.
review
coffret de bijoux - lose myself in you
April 22, 2026
I've been eating a lot of tinned fish recently. I started with tuna, then salmon (the best), and recently I tried some sardines with preserved lemon. I've really been enjoying myself on this fish journey, and I'm having a similar journey with Alice Simard's metal projects, this here being my fourth.
review
IATT - Etheric Realms of the Night
April 22, 2026
In the promo package, we see that the men of IATT, clad in black and posing near taxidermy in a presumably abandoned building, look exactly like their music: dark, yet intellectual
review
Dystopia - De Verboden Diepte II: De Weg van de Meeste Weerstand
April 20, 2026
*That Star Wars meme of Kylo Ren shouting "MORE!" "MORE!"*
review
Witch Ripper - Through The Hourglass
April 18, 2026
Now I've never smoked weed or taken any drugs besides prescription medicine and Flintstones gummies. If I were to hit off of whatever bong Witch Ripper has been huffing off, I'd probably get knocked out in seconds.
review
Voidchaser - Insterstellar I
April 11, 2026
I'd love to listen to a second part of this Insterstellar series, but for me to really love it, the mixing HAS to improve.
review
Gus Drax - Theories of Imperfection
April 10, 2026
Sixteen years have passed since the release of his debut "In Search of Perfection," and apparently, he's gone from searching for perfection to theorizing about imperfection. I suppose it's better than theorizing about perfection and searching for imperfection... right?
review
Godsticks - VOiD
April 8, 2026
...but altogether, "VOiD" was just an okay album by a band that promised a lot more.
review
Myrath - Wilderness of Mirrors
March 29, 2026
There goes my dignity...
review
Rivers Ablaze - Inexternal Dread
March 29, 2026
Menjünk = Let's Go!
review
Ticket to Nowhere - Fractals
March 21, 2026
In Colorado, there IS a town called "Nowhere." Why are these Swiss guys selling me tickets to the US? I live there, dammit.
review
Green Carnation - A Dark Poem, Part II - Sanguis
March 20, 2026
After “Leaves Of Yesteryear” in 2020 and their 2025 album “A Dark Poem, Part I – The Shores Of Melancholia” it is now time for them to give us “A Dark Poem, Part II - Sanguis”. This band from Kristiansand in Norway isn’t just a simple Progressive Rock/Metal band, nope, they don’t have a problem mixing those influences with a lot of Gothic under- and overtones.
review
Francisco Javier Perez - Cloudfield
March 14, 2026
Keep in mind that instrumental progressive metal isn't the heaviest shit ever (I'm typing this as I'm listening to a twinkly and calm guitar/drum segment), so all you "true" metalheads can piss off.
review
Rejuvenation - The Pinnacle of Violence
March 14, 2026
"Scream if you love Bulgaria"
review
Andes COL - Flora
March 13, 2026
I sincerely apologize in advance when I butcher these friggin' Spanish song titles
review
Agabas - Hard Anger Deluxe
March 10, 2026
my Agabas-induced paracusias is acting up again.
review
Black Idol - Woes Are Legion
March 9, 2026
I am quite a lapidarist when it comes to the musical jewels of Serbia.
review
Insipidus - Nearest Dusk
March 8, 2026
I'm not trying to sabotage this review by completely diverting the subject, but I fucking hate AI.
review
Moon Tooth - Bastard EP
March 7, 2026
Just like smoking your first cigarette (don't do that, by the way), my first experience with Moon Tooth left me periodically satisfied. The alt-prog sensibilities grabbed me, but unlike the aftermath of a smoke, I never got hooked, and I virtually never listened to the Long Island league again.
review
Grey Skies over Rapture - Kings
March 7, 2026
Just be happy I broke 350 words with a three-song EP.
review
Luminesce - Like Crushed Violets and Linen
March 5, 2026
Pink? A pink album cover? Isn't pink... for girls??/?
review
Abstracted – Hiraeth
March 3, 2026
“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.
review
Tardigrade Inferno – Hush
March 2, 2026
“Hush” is a melting point of different genres and vibes, including progressive Metal, Groove Metal, but there are also a few Punk and Alt-Metal vibes present
review
Cryptic Shift - Overspace & Supertime
March 1, 2026
I have no choice but to be amazed, enthralled and totally enamoured with what CRYPTIC SHIFT is presenting me with on “Overspace & Supertime”. To me this all sounds absolutely superb, has all the elements that make me crave to hear more of CRYPTIC SHIFT; excitement, surprise, attraction and superb musicianship.
review
Toward The Throne - Midnight
February 28, 2026
For homework, go read Dune or some other popular space novel with this playing in the background, and write a five-paragraph essay on your thoughts.
review
Sypsis - Annihilated Existence
February 27, 2026
I am enamoured with the results of what i have been hearing while I have been listening to “Annihilated Existence” time and time again, and have no qualms into proclaiming this to be a treasured album.
review
Fox Paradox - Echoes Of The Hunt
February 26, 2026
When I picture a pizza, I envision a couple of different toppings and a nice, consistent dough. Hopefully, this LP is like a pizza: a couple of different toppings (genres), but a consistent underlying theme (dough). I'm very hungry, if you couldn't tell.
review
Godoviir - Artificial Dream
February 23, 2026
I've listened to a lot of progressive rock and metal over the years, and while "ARTIFICIAL DREAM" didn't have the WOW! factor to really make an impression on me to stick with me forever, I adore the messages brought by Igor and GODOVIIR.
review
Falchi - Solace
February 23, 2026
These instrumental progressive metal artists seem to have formed a tight-knit community with their colorful album covers and relentless shredding.
review
Warp Rite - Of Blissful Strife
February 22, 2026
I like the idea of "Of Blissful Strife," but I don't really like "Of Blissful Strife."
review
holotropic - individual
February 22, 2026
It's a different kind of adrenaline rush I get when I see a band cite a philosophical work at the bottom of a lyric sheet.
