I feel as though the strength of this album is that it displays a lot of potential and I don’t doubt that there’s great things to come from this guitar wizard. By Chad Murray

We may be a little late to the party here but, this is a fucking incredible album and I’m overjoyed to be reviewing it. By Chad Murray

outwardness lost is available free/pay-what-you-want on Bandcamp now. Give it a spin, I think it’s one of the best post-rock albums of the year. By Chad Murray

Pilgrimage is in an interesting album; a foreboding experimental collection of songs rooted in the dark ambient genre but offering something completely different as well. By Chad Murray

The flow of this album is absolutely excellent. In fact, it is quite likely that playing this album in the background you will start on track one and look back some time later to find yourself several steps down the line. Each piece flows beautifully into the next, transforming and evolving in exquisite ambient metamorphosis. By Chad Murray

A superb instrumental rock album combining elements from a number of sub-genres to make a thoroughly enjoyable collection of excellently produced, excellently played and excellently displayed music. By Chad Murray

A brilliant ambient album with excellent artwork and an engaging concept; a trip to another world all for five bucks. By Chad Murray

In Highly Deadly Black Tarantula, Teeth Of The Sea join the army of bands united in darkness, at a time when it is becoming a global commodity. It is an excellent, abrasive, engrossing and cohesive album with cathartic muffled screams, exquisite synth sounds and some of the best guitar lines you’ll hear this year. By Chad Murray

The Space Movie provided Oldfield a platform to present his capabilities to an audience that likely had only ever heard Tubular Bells and, though it would never make him the next Bernard Herrmann, it would showcase his talent to a massive audience. By Chad Murray

Imagine doom metal played by a shaman in pre-colonial arabian sand dunes, ritualistic insanity married with futuristic forebodings of dark atonal dystopia. By Chad Murray

This album is a stunning accompaniment to a dark night of the soul, with arresting production from the band that endures effortlessly throughout the album to create a work that stands well as individual pieces or even better as one seamless whole. By Chad Murray

In Sibbe, Aria Rostami has captured the devastating zeitgeist of our time in a manner that few would attempt. A must-listen experience for those disillusioned with post-rock, ambience and society as a whole. An unwavering portrayal of the depths of civilisation; a masterpiece and a haunting requiem. By Chad Murray

Howl is an album you could always relate to at the end of the night; a chime for night owls and travellers, a cradle song for tired youth. By Chad Murray

The Black Atlas to me is one to watch, there are moments of promise but it seems like, overall, The Black Atlas has a long way to go in terms of finding his sound. By Chad Murray

There is a psychedelic element to this album and a romance to it, in that its slow boil allows you to either reject it without any sort of disruption or embrace it as it submerges you into a soundtrack of warm baths and dopamine showers. By Chad Murray

The whole collection has this reoccurring disclosure and intimacy that stands in everything they do. There is no mystique with Her Name Is Calla, no bullshit; they are a band of articulate people expressing themselves honestly and unreservedly and there is nothing more sacred or powerful to find in music than honesty. By Chad Murray

According to the sign at the gate there are no drugs at ArcTanGent. That being said, I am about to disclose a whirlwind of ineffably spectacular and ebullient events the likes of which will entice you to said festival with a narcotic fervour. I came to ArcTanGent as the blank canvas of this writing body and left a part of a greater work. Here I met the team of some of the most delightful misfits you will ever come across, here I found a place where I felt comfortable in my own skin. By Chad Murray

The songs seem to retain hints to their early material yet, go in new unforeseeable directions cementing a defining character for the band and teasing a bright future. By Chad Murray

I’d say listen to HEALTH and then go and watch them live because it’s not like seeing just another band it’s like seeing your favourite film and then finding a shit load of companion pieces that embiggens the spirit of the original. By Chad Murray
