Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums

Here’s Our Opinion.

EXCLUSIVE ALBUM PREMIERE: 0-NUN – Nihility Ascetics

Allow the three tracks to guide your exploration to the primal void and find what truth is to be had there.

Pattern-Seeking Animals – Prehensile Tales

It connects on all the different levels, from the group harmonies, the synth patches, and of course the bass tone.

Strike Anywhere – Nightmares of the West

Like all great punk rock, the band asks difficult questions, calling out the ills of society, but also deals with personal issues, like those we all deal with.

Maggot Heart – Mercy Machine

Their second full length, Mercy Machine is a fever dream of shattered glass mazes, mounds of heavenly trash bodies, and deep red flowers in full bloom.

Bog Wizard – From the Mire

Come for the Dungeons & Dragons. Stay for the didgeridoo.

It makes sense that music about said reality should have some edge to it, and this does. In the end, this album is magnificent and majestic, while still directed and aggressive, a pitch perfect balance and a masterful release.

FULL ALBUM STREAM: Derhead – Irrational I

It’s as if Derhead has distilled rage and pain, beauty and misery into a concentrated form.

Bitter Truth – The Voice of the Unheard

The riffs are chunky and the grooves have a good momentum to them, but this kind of music is usually all about the lyrics and the emotion behind their composition and delivery.
