Caligula’s Horse – In Contact
The material is not trying to push boundaries or change the world at large. It is just good prog metal being performed by top notch musicians. But, sometimes, is that not what great music should be?
Craving Angel – Redemption
Old school as it comes, this one should go down as one of the better tributes to what is real old school metal.
Discarnatus – Death and Depravity
…this ability to compel the listener is very much present on this nearly twenty-six minute release. I find myself taken out of time and drawn into the particular corner of the void inhabited by this eight legged monster.
Necrovorous – Plains of Decay
“Plains Of Decay” is absolutely littered with some of the most incredible and catchy yet brutal riffs I’ve heard in some time.
Marty Friedman – Wall of Sound
This album hit all over the place for me, just pure emotion.
Ledge – Cold Hard Concrete
Ledge lurches forth from your speakers ready to devour.
Rebel Wizard – The Warning of One EP
This thing tears through you like a beast possessed, doing in roughly fifteen minutes the kind of sonic damage it takes some bands a full hour to deal out.
Cormorant – Diaspora
If you haven’t heard this band before, they play big, dark, progressive metal with elements of black metal and even death metal embedded in the mix.
Hell – Hell
The void is strong with this one.
Crimfall – Amain (Review and Interview)
Amain is grand perfection, a metal opera of the highest caliber.
