An Undying Love For A Burning World is a truly staggering album. A modern classic. An essential listen.

The band sound more than revitalised and with Goliath have made one of the albums of the year so far.

There is an incredible depth and warmth to the post-gaze on Growth that makes it perfect for every season. It has healed during winter and is going into full blossom as summer hits.

This album is a triumph against adversity and packs an emotional punch. Highly recommended.

More doom than death, and with a fantastic classic feel to it, Temple Of Void have crafted an album which has more than enough twists and turns to keep you coming back for more.

Barbieri never stops to amaze his listeners with its views on the parallel universes left on his new album with intensity, spectral, and phantasmal perspective in the world that is waiting for us.

Affini’s artistic background definitely played an important part in creating an important part in making ‘Rust’ work, coupled with the fact that Affini made a wise decision to keep these pieces relatively short and as realistic as possible.

Vivid with life and unease. As always with mclusky there’s biting tunes, dark wit, and terse wisdom.

It’s triumphal, melodic and completely over the top, as all great metal should be. Unlike any other metal album you’ll hear this year.

For those expecting the full on prog epics then you may come away disappointed but by now the majority of Motorpsycho fans will have accepted that you never know quite what to expect.

Without using any gimmicks and overdubs, Wingfield has proven to show he’s going as far beyond the stratosphere, visioning what the outdoor world is like by setting it to music.

An unrelenting piece of work, but within the maelstrom of noise there is a lot going on which can only serve to enrich them further down the line.

It is that old (and always exciting) psych sound that India Tigers in Texas have brought to these current times.

With the classical, minimal, and experimentation’s flowing on Minutiae, Anile has completed his mission to a vast success. And we got to experience the journey in all of its tremendous glory.

Sidera feels like a work that has been meticulously crafted, every element from the composition to the dreamlike production and obvious technical proficiency a demonstration of the work, passion and thought that has gone into it. For that reason alone, it deserves some time and attention – the quality riffing is an added bonus.

There’s no denying that Ruby the Hatchet have kept the metallic genre alive with their own flavour of psychedelic doom.

The result is well-thought-out and simultaneously loose and tight acid jazz with late-night soul embellishments that work at any point in time you play this album.

A lumbering, muscular collection of ten sludgy songs, steeped in the riff-worship that we have come to know from Beastwars. But more than ever, the band appear to have embraced big anthemic choruses.

It will transport you to an alternate headspace, wrapping you in bliss and helping you put aside worries.

The album is not just a return to heavy form, but also one that sounds like a new chapter has begun.

Rick is pouring his heart and soul into tending the light at the end of the tunnel with fierce research, mind-boggling wonders, and the adventure that is waiting for you.
