(((O))) REVIEWS

Inherus – Beholden

Instead of trying to compete in battles of heaviness Inherus have developed an expansive sound that will only gain in strength as they develop.

Esben and the Witch – Hold Sacred

They have proven themselves to bring their stories to life in unbelievable results that’ll keep you replaying this album, more and more to see what you’re missing.

Wolf Eyes – Dreams In Splattered Lines

Each track is a chaotic snapshot from a winding journey through hidden worlds, a postcard trail of saturated colours and enigmatic inscriptions.

Scrimshire – Paroxysm

It is both interconnected and quite moving, as Scrimshire is actually able to fully transfer his emotions and thoughts into the music here which is both varied and exciting.

Lars Fredrik Frøislie – Fire Fortellinger

One hell of a debut that Frøislie has unleashed.

Joni Void – Everyday Is The Song

Essentially, ‘Everyday is The Song’ proves its title and is an enviable musical achievement.

Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius – Behind The Curtain: Live at ProgStock

All in all, the live recording at ProgStock makes it worth the demand to imagine yourself being at that venue, supporting Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius as they bring real good music to our very own living rooms.

Ruïm – Black Royal Spiritism – I. O Sino da Igreja

Walking that delicate knife-edge of being rooted in history, yet talking bold leaps forward too, one of black metal’s great innovators returns to where it all began.

Henget – Beyond North Star

Beyond North Star is dripping-black, 100% killer and inventive black metal.

Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan – The Nation’s Most Central Location

Essentially this is abstract, instrumental, electronic music that is a pleasure to listen to.

JAAW – Supercluster

When you want to get a good buzz by blasting noisy heavy music, Supercluster is definitely a record to reach for.

Blindfolded and Led to the Woods – Rejecting Obliteration

It is technical death metal in the best way possible: thundering roars, riffs to get lost in, a bass tone that will register on the Richter scale.

Yakuza – Sutra

Yakuza have reaffirmed their well-earned status as one of the more interesting and dynamic voices operating in sludge metal.

The Flowers of Hell – Keshakhtaran

We get layers of elongated notes and spaces between them that weave, and slowly twist and turn, bringing almost perfect meditational pieces that exemplify any form of spiritual music.

Giöbia – Acid Disorder

Acid Disorder confirms with no doubt Giöbia’s reputation as one of Europe’s most interesting psychedelic rock bands at this moment.

Khanate – To Be Cruel

The unexpected return of one of the most extreme bands to ever crawl out from under the rock labelled doom – time for the most desolate atmospheres conjured in slow motion.
