Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
Sijjin – Sumerian Promises
Drawing heavily from old school, more thrash influenced death metal, they reject the caveman riff revival in favor of something more sinister.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Lähdön Aika – Hylkäys
Lähdön Aika may be tapping into the immense power of the earth itself, or maybe the consciousness of communal humanity.
Iskandr – Vergezicht
Vergezicht captures the sound of the Gelderland scene. Long, winding, and hauntingly medieval sounding tracks take the listener on a journey.
Crystal Coffin – The Starway Eternal
The Starway Eternal absolutely rips from note one until the final fade.
Abstracter – Abominion
Abominion joins the party as a worthy successor to the prior releases, staying the course of magnificently grim blackened doom, while evolving in ever more spiteful directions.
SNAFU – Exile//Banishment
This album is a much needed throat punch to the decadence and oppression of modern society. Plus, it absolutely rips!
Blackwater Holylight – Silence/Motion
Each spin of the album immerses me anew in the comfortable/painful waters, ebbing and flowing through the labyrinthine artwork playing through my speakers.
CemeteriuM – Ruin
Above all, Ruin is a transcendent album in which to lose oneself.
Huronian – As Cold As A Stranger Sunset
The nine tracks form a very complete album, going from strength to strength, and truly pulling the listener into the clutches of the mighty riffs.
Profeci – Aporia
Aporia, the band’s sophomore album seems at its surface to be your ordinary black metal album. But after a proper listen, one begins to recognize the heavy sludge, doom, and drone influences that add loads of interesting sections on the album.
