Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
Voivod – The Lost Machine
“The machine was going full on. We were really tight and the vibe was great.” – Away
Bog Wizard – From The Mire
Ultimately, From The Mire is an album not to be slept on. If taken seriously, it will take you on a dark journey into the recesses of your imagination.
Abstract The Light – Magna Sapientia Quaerere – To The Depths Of Thy Soul
With plenty of variety in every aspect of their collective sound, you’ll find yourself claiming favorite parts of the music scattered throughout.

Mizmor & Andrew Black – Dialetheia
These two tracks seem to exist nowhere. They are blank, bleak landscapes that hold nothing but a relentless wind that carries upon it sounds that cannot be described; a howling upon some unknown and unseen plane of existence.
Precaria – Nigraluminiscencia
“Nigraluminiscencia” starts with a second or two of infernal fires crackling until you’re right where the music wants you, disoriented in dissonance and feeling the flames of your inner-hell.
TRACK STREAM: Tantivy – I Am The Wolf
The Wisconsin duo channel the beating heart of the traditional heavy metal I grew up with and they’re damn proud of it.
LaColpa – Post Tenebra Lux
Over the course of roughly forty three minutes, spread across five tracks, LaColpa assail the listener with a nightmare of nihilistic intensity.
FULL ALBUM STREAM: PRECARIA and ÔROS KAÙ – Theosulphuros
Taken together, the two sides of Theosulphuros have something of a yin yang quality to them – the more structured Precaria, riding herd on the wild nature of Darkness, driving chaos relentlessly forward and the more chaotic ÔROS KAÙ whose wild rhythms reveal a central, mesmeric calm being birthed.
Sea Sleeper – Old Guard
…I hear caustic, acidic sludge, bonkers dissonance and hard left turns, and mesmeric melancholy…
