TRACK STREAM: Jenn Taiga – King of Swords
Eerie, beautiful, powerful, meditative…all of these are appropriate descriptors for this spacey third track on Lunar Nocturnes and Esoteric Incantations.
TRACK STREAM: Mosara – Majestik
This is, I would say, first and foremost stoner doom, and it has a side order of prog mixed in as well, but it also carries that aura of sludge metal (or maybe Sludge Metal is more apt).
Cryptosis – Bionic Swarm
Band – Cryptosis Album – Bionic Swarm Country of Origin – The Netherlands Genre – Progressive Thrash Metal Release Date – March 26, 2021 Label – Century Media Records Author – Hayduke X Bionic Swarm is the perfect name...
Omination – NGR
A rich sonic palette paints a deep experiential listen, full of strife and anguish. Though incredibly beautiful, NGR is also stunningly dark, and subtly horrifying.
Gonemage – Mystical Extraction
The album is sometimes spastic, and rarely sits still long, even in the slower parts. And yet it all flows so well together.
Lóstregos – Onde Calan Os Corazóns Ruxen As Pedras
I’m in awe of this album. It has grabbed me viscerally and thoroughly.
Darkgem – Luminous Hag
There is vibrant energy and a sense of immediacy to these tracks, probably due to the purpose of the composition.
Myrkgand – Old Mystical Tales
Dynamic pacing, well thought out composition, a strong vocal performance, and earworm riffing all contribute to making this an album well worth hearing.
Caïna – Take Me Away From All This Death
Through a kaleidoscopic filter of electronic doom and mayhem, he explores the dark side of life.
Capra – In Transmission
In Transmission is perhaps the most immediate album I’ve heard all year. I feel like I’m front row at a show and only years spent developing self control have saved my couch from being turned into kindling in a living room mosh session.
