Heavy Metal Reviews & Interviews
Andor – Deconstructing Constructs
As heavy and unrelenting as this release is, it never forgets to swing.
Yaldabaoth – That Which Whets the Saccharine Palate
That Which Whets The Saccharine Palate ramps up the tension of existence by carefully weaving strands of dissonant mysticism into murky fog of blackened horror. Take heed. This is not a light listen, nor is it for the incautious.

The Dark Red Seed – Becomes Awake
Darker Days sounds like a down tuned Louisiana swamp blues band was introduced to Middle Eastern instrumentals and unconventional song structures.
Abythic – Beneath Ancient Portals
Sometimes you just want something that feels good. But enough about food. Let’s get to the meat of this burger (Maybe a little more about food).

Green Desert Water – Vortex
From start to finish, this album is for those who like to rock hard and ride easy.
Coilguns – Millennials
While I can’t bring any examples to mind, Millennials definitely feels like something I would have heard in the 1990s.

Spock’s Beard are tight and polished, and they play with a confidence and energy that demonstrate their years of experience and reaffirm their well-earned standing as heroes of modern progressive rock.
Angerot – The Splendid Iniquity
Right from the first lead-in instrumental track, this album brings the classic Swedish death metal sound.
Micawber – Beyond the Reach of Flame
Break out your air guitar and neckbrace because you’ll fuckin’ need it.
