Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums

Here’s Our Opinion.

Henry Kane – Age Of The Idiot

Angry, disturbed, ominous, triumphant…this album is all of those things, and more.

Ashen Chalice – Gdje sva srca gore

I’m still not sure I fully understand what’s going on here, but I know that it speaks to me in deep and meditative ways, though the sound itself is harsh and disturbing.

Lucius Fox – Quaternary Panorama

Good experimental/disparate music NEEDS to have good melodies, as Frank Zappa taught us, and Lucius Fox not only gets that, but they hammer it home with head bobbing goodness.

Blasphemer – The Sixth Hour

This is a very strong release.

Dead Hour Noise – Sleeping Dogs

Dead Hour Noise truly has something for everyone and Sleeping Dogs is the most bold, complete, and exciting debut I’ve heard in a long time.

مَوْلَى-Mulla

I present to you, Mulla, a raw black metal band from the country of Iraq. Their release, مَوْلَى is something that will cut you down to the core.

Psychotic Waltz – The God-Shaped Void

thankfully, this is a bonafide Psychotic Waltz record, still anchored in large measure by the extraordinary vocal (and flute) stylings of Devon Graves (formerly known as Buddy Lackey).
