This is beautiful music, well thought out, crafted, mixed and quite simply a band that you need. – By Nick Dodds

‘Vāyu’ is an excellent cooperation between two bands that are different at so many levels and a reward for both the artists and the listeners. – By Daniela Patrizi

Please don’t let me sway you from listening to this monster of an album, there are a lot of great things to be heard. It’s a remarkable technical achievement and it deserves recognition. – By Aaron Edwards

Give ‘Loss’ some time to get acquainted with. While a first impression may lose your interest, it will reward those who give it attention. LLNN have put together a terrific album and I definitely recommend it. – By Dawson Clawson

In most hands this would sound like an unholy mess so it is to their credit that they pull it off (and at just a 4 piece). There doesn’t appear to be a cohesive element holding it all together, but the quality never drops below “very good” so it keeps you engaged. – By Andrew Rawlinson

Fans of Mono might perhaps find elements of Goto’s solo album a little difficult to deal with at times, though it features much of the same creative passion that makes all their material so great. By Gareth Watkin

This album in its entirety tells a huge story, with being almost completely instrumental, giving you the opportunity to add your own twist to it. – By Maarten van der Woude

When Swiss sludge metal band Kruger played in London recently, our man Mark Angel Brandt went along to have a great chat with Blaise Brechbühl and Renaud Meichtry of the band.

It’s intelligent heavy music, but also keeps just the right side of serious and that is just how it should be. – By Martyn Coppack
