This album is not just a tribute to Pink Floyd’s lost experiment; it is a celebration of sound in its purest, most unfiltered form.
She’s Green play these familiar sounds both effectively and gracefully, but they do shuffle them around in a manner that makes that sound quite their own and oh so appealing at the same time.
The Summoning Bell is an album you are going to need to spend time with to really enjoy. The murkiness can feel too much at times but given repeated listens, the music unfurls into something quite dramatic and encompassing.
A confident, razor-sharp record that feels both meticulously constructed and dangerously volatile. It’s quite a rare combination, ferocious, fearless, and utterly uncompromising. A band to keep an eye on.
Scardust is quite a revelation when it comes symphonic and classical music, mixed in with powerful riffs, metallic forces, and elements of Edenbridge, Within Temptation, and Nightwish. You can’t go wrong with that.
God’s World is a fantastic album and one that sees Manslaughter 777 elevating their music to an even higher plateau.
Fast, mind-blowing sounds, and maximum mosh pits throw in into the mix, Doomsday’s Never Known Peace should be played really, really, really fucking loud!
Gerlach tries to make a detailed sense out of it all and comes out of the process with quite some flying colours, skipping the now standard algorithm music discovering system, making it quite a personal one.
Progressive, with one foot in the horror genre, and the other in exploring how far they can take the various aspects of death metal.
If lo-fi instrumental folk sounds like something you’d be interested in, this is an excellent entry point into Duncan Park’s work.
Rise Above have scored a home run with Yeah Man, It’s Bloody Heavy to delve into the proto-sounds of early metal and hard rock that deserves to see what you’ve been missing.
What we get is music that is not only suited for a specific time of day, or a tea ceremony for that matter, but something you can play at any time, along with anything you can drink.
Machina Kore have created an impressive debut album that is full of melodic hooks, intelligent song writing and technical musicianship.
With this record, Ba’al makes a powerful statement: they strike like a forceful maul and leave a lasting echo in the realm of extreme metal.
Reveries is an outstanding collection that will be revered in years to come. A contender for album of the year.
A Void Within Existence may not break any real genre necessities and ultimately sticks to a USBM template but they do it in a way which deserves attention.
This isn’t just a meditated composition, this is a piece where you are free from all of the complicated situations Reuter and Thelen put to the table.
