Neptunian Maximalism – Solar Drone Ceremony (I, Voidhanger)

thisquietarmy x Away – The Singularity, Phase 1 (P572)

A collaborative sci-fi Drone metal album? Say what???! Away (Michel Langevin) of Voivod fame and Thisquietarmy (Eric Quach) have been secretly recording music together for some time. They have hours of the stuff apparently and this is phase 1. I have to say at first glance… Continue Reading →

Urfaust – Teufelsgeist (Ván Records)

Not to be mistaken with their first release, ‘Geist ist Teufel’ (spirit is devil), ‘Teufelsgeist’ (devil’s spirit) is the sixth full length from Dutch duo, Urfaust. In true pretentious black metal nature, to fully appreciate this album, it has of… Continue Reading →

Dark Buddha Rising – Mathreyata (Svart Records)

Black Saturn & Grosso Gadgetto – Earth Project (Atypeek Music)

Right after I started listening to “Absolution”, I was reminded of a character from Airplane proclaiming, “Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up glue sniffing”. By way of explanation, “Absolution” is four tracks of abject misery and… Continue Reading →

Vile Creature – Glory, Glory! Apathy Took Helm! (Prosthetic)

Most people’s first encounter with Canada’s Vile Creature was 2018 release ‘Cast of Static and Smoke’, a tale of apocalyptic robots trying to escape the end of the world. The unhurried tempo and gritty musical textures combined with the heart… Continue Reading →

Ævangelist – Nightmarecatcher (Hell’s Headbangers)

If you’ve missed out on all the drama that has been plaguing Ævangelist, it follows pretty much the same pattern as Batushka – band splits, both parties claim to be the original, blah, blah, blah, no one really cares. On… Continue Reading →
