Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
Drunk MFers – The Drunk Sessions
The Drunk Sessions is not nearly as heavy as what I normally write about, but the five tracks are still emotionally hefty.
INTERVIEW + REVIEW: The Giant’s Fall – The Giant’s Fall
Creating a dark atmosphere with careful, patient percussion, bass lines that seem to hum with the very vibrations of the earth, and creative riffs which run through several variations of doom metal.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Decipher – Altar of the Void
Lead guitar work adds nasty flourishes to a mesmeric track, while the rhythm section keeps everything moving the way raging waters keep the rapids moving.
Burden of Ymir – Heorot
This is music for singing along in drunken voices, for rousing the spirit of warriors before battle, or for dancing, full of glee, through the moshpit.
Zebulon Kosted – ...how important can living be when everyone is doing it... (Single)
Ghafur channels his inner prog and gives us a single more reminiscent of Voivod than anything else.

EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: My Hair Is A Rat’s Nest – Callous
Acoustic sounding parts are included in a few places to contrast the melancholic and dissonant riffing which divides the rest of the album into a frothing sea of emotion.

if you love exploration in music, different artistic expressions, strange genre blends, and various other avant garde approaches, then this is a must listen.
