Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
Haken – Aquarius and Visions Re-Release
The musicianship is exquisite and the songs feature gorgeous.
Deserted Fear – Dead Shores Rising
The riffs are simple but effectively heavy. No new ground is broken here. Deserted Fear appear content to drive the in the same wheel ruts that Amon Amarth and Dark Tranquillity did 10 years ago.
Ignis Gehenna – Baleful Scarlet Star
Baleful Scarlet Star is a violent entity released from oblivion and come to utterly destroy.
Spectral Apparition – Manifestation
Someday, you’ll be able to say you were one of the few who knew about this project when it was still completely underground. This level of quality won’t stay there long.
SONG OF THE WEEK: Dawnbringer – North by North
At once, both classic and modern, both dark and light, both melancholy and transcendent.
Epitaph – Sinner Waketh
There are nine full songs across the album’s ten tracks that pivot between blast, groove and doom and keep the vocal carousel spinning throughout.
Panzerfaust – The Lucifer Principle
The void calls. There is no escape. As a whole, The Lucifer Principle is haunting and ominous, dark as blackest sin, and utterly feral.
Pain of Salvation – The Passing Light of Day
In the Passing Light of Day simply overflows with music of astounding color and textural variety.
SONG OF THE WEEK: Mayhem – Life Eternal
Though their past is rife with violence, murder, suicide, Nazism, and more, they are undoubtedly one of the creators of the sound we now call black metal.
Rudra – Enemy of Duality
Enemy of Duality, is intense in a restrained manner. It is fierce and harsh, but not savage, uncontrollable, but not out of control.
