Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
Behind the Sun – Post Solis
North Carolina’s Behind the Sun deliver a blistering five songs full of the heavy riffs, rhythmic shifts, and choral ensembles of growl not unknown in the prog side of death metal.
Dakhma – Suna Kulto
What the band certainly is not, is soft. They have all the intensity of a fully loaded freight train bearing down on you.
Pestilent Age – Novgorod
Two different writers take a crack at this Michigan release. Check it out.
Temptation’s Wings – Skulthor Ebonblade
This epic, doomy, thrashy, stonery, and very Viking sounding band picks up the pace at points on this one. Right off the bat, this album sends you back in time to the battlegrounds, almost inducing marching and preparing you for this epic tale.
Tim Bowness – Lost in the Ghost Light
Lost in the Ghost Light, however, mines the steady, mid-tempo rhythms and more pastel and at times pastoral production of Marillion or more sedate Pink Floyd material.
Bonesteel – Epitome of Infamy
With a little rap metal style, Bonesteel’s music provides real-life lyrics backed by catchy, powerful hooks.
Iron Magazine – Queen of Hell
Queen of Hell sounds like it’s fresh off the time machine from the 1980s.
Altar of Betelgeuze – Among the Ruins
Among the Ruins will be in the top ten Stoner/Doom Metal albums of 2017.
Power Trip – Nightmare Logic
“Nightmare Logic” wastes no time..[s]ticking to their almost Testament sounding old school roots, and also showcasing their growth and evolution as a band by including a much needed sound in modern metal.
