THROWBACK THURSDAY #1: Spooky Tooth/Pierre Henry – Ceremony
THROWBACK THURSDAY REVIEW #1:SPOOKY TOOTH/PIERRE HENRYCEREMONY1967 Ceremony is a questionably experimental album by Spooky Tooth from 1967. It attempts to employ found-object sounds to create something more unique and surreal, along with the theme of a Church service. On paper, everything seems like it\’d work and sounds extremely interesting. In practice, and due to the… Continue reading

MINI-REVIEW: Mord\’A\’Stigmata – Our Hearts Slow Down (MINI-ALBUM)
MINI-REVIEW:MORD\’A\’STIGMATAOUR HEARTS SLOW DOWNPAGAN RECORDS MORD\’A\’STIGMATA leans on a more calm, experimental approach to Black Metal. Though, yes, it contains a good deal of the genre\’s tropes – it\’s almost more akin to a progressive rock album then anything. Somehow, however, this works extremely well. A stark contrast is drawn between harsh vocal content and… Continue reading

REVIEW: A Light Within – Body Matter EP
A LIGHT WITHINBODY MATTER EPStatic Tension Records Oddly, I can\’t draw any direct comparison to what I\’ve been hearing on A LIGHT WITHIN\’s \’Body Matter.\’ Now its not like the EP is ultra experimental, its certainly progressive – but it has a good deal of easily digestible elements to it. For instance, the vocals are… Continue reading

REVIEW: The Lidocaine – Chicken Cage of HORROR
The Lidocaine – Chicken Cage of HORRORInverse Records I don\’t honestly know too much of what to think about this band. The 90\’s styled Alt-Punk album title drew me in, the promise of progressive got me curious. So, I suppose the overall package did its job of making me listen. The contents… well I suppose… Continue reading

REVIEW: VOD – ᑑᕐᖓᐃᑦ (Tuurngait)
VOD – ᑑᕐᖓᐃᑦ As a reviewer and long-time fan of Metal, I have been feeling the very real wear of over-saturation when it comes to my favorite genre. If you didn\’t know (which unless you\’ve been living under a rock I don\’t know how you haven\’t) the easier, cheaper, and more available gear and software for… Continue reading

REVIEW: Dhampyr – Oceanclots
DHAMPYR – OCEANCLOTS The advent of black-gaze has so completely jaded me these days. For some reason, my focus on that particular sub-genre had me so simultaneously entranced and annoyed that I forgot all about these Progressive Atmospheric Black Metal groups altogether – and, you know, that is a damn shame. Though DHAMPYR isn\’t the… Continue reading

REVIEW: DEVIN TOWNSEND – Z2
To get it way out of the way: Yes, I am a fan of Devin Townsend. My favorite album was \’Ki\’, I didn\’t like the original \’Ziltoid\’ and \’Epicloud\’ was balls – also, I don\’t really see why Strapping Young Lad should return in any complicity. Also, Casualties of Cool was amazing. Anyhow, somehow I\’ve… Continue reading

REVIEW: Dreamgrave – Presentiment
Admittedly, I\’ve been waiting for something like DREAMGRAVE for quite sometime. Its the sort of music that exists on some ethereal balance, not quite one definable sound but a perfect storm of many ideas and snippets – unrestrained if you will by too many generic-ties. I\’d like to say bands like FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE fall within the… Continue reading

REVIEW: Edge of Haze – Illumine
For those who don\’t know, I am a fan of Doom, Gothic (what few \’Gothic\’ bands remain), and Progressive rock/metal breeds. The vast majority of my personal music collection mostly consists of these genres – just because I review a decent amount of Black Metal doesn\’t mean I listen to it exclusively or for recreation.… Continue reading

REPORT: HAKEN have a new video – and a new EP!
If you haven\’t gotten the chance to listen to HAKEN, a group of extremely unique UK progressive metallers, now is your chance. It was no secret that they\’ve been working on something new, however, with \’Darkest Light\’ it looks as if the group is upping the technical ante even compared to \’The Mountain\’. Now, I\’d… Continue reading
