Album Reviews

With Nero Di Marte’s Immoto, a swift blend of theatrical vocals, spoken word and grunts, dissonant filth and melodic pieces, post / progressive / avant-garde / dissonant / black / death / atmospheric metal in a clean and polished package is served.

Another gem in the modern heavy rock scene. Soto’s “Origami” has it all !!

Wheel brings you a sound that is very much inspired by Tool, but with a great personality and great songwriting skills!

In need of some technically typically djent. These French dudes from Kadinja are bringing us some technically djent that can compete with their bigger brothers in the genre.

Soen takes us on a progressive ride with music that has their signature sound all over!

It’s predictable that The Wake is unpredictable, Voivod steers it spacecraft through a tangled, tantalizing storyline, woven into the most maze-like, edge-of-your-seat musical experience the band have embarked upon since those heady days of the late ‘80s.

The Canadian mad scientist Devin Townsend celebrates the 20th anniversary with a very nice DVD/Blu Ray at the Ancient Roman Theatre in Plovdiv supported by the State Opera Orchestra!

With this 2cd – 2DVD set Haken spoils their fans before letting loose Vector, the new awaited album. Enjoy the gig they played in Amsterdam last year or their appearance on ProgPower, or why not, just enjoy some official videos. Enough stuff to not get bored out there !!!

With all the celebration around the 20th anniversary of Emperor’s magnum opus ‘ Anthems of the Welkins at Dusk’ you might almost be forgiven for forgetting that Ihsahn has been running a very successful solo career for more than a decade.

‘Frightened’ is an altogether different beast from the satanic blackened death that Akercocke is known for, although not particularly more optimistic.
