Today I have the pleasure of writing about, without a doubt, one of the most complex albums that I’ve had to deal with it in recent years. This honor is bestowed upon Ethereal Flux by the Luxembourgish band Retrace My Fragments. Their first full length is so loaded with creativity and craziness, of the good …

Inhuman Rampage – Pathfinder
In a previous review I said that our country doesn’t have a lot of good deathcore bands, but I’ve been proven wrong in the past and such is the case today! Because Inhuman Rampage are a talented quintet that managed to convince me with their debut EP Pathfinder. As is custom in the genre, the …
Architects – Lost Forever // Lost Together
Less than two years after their last record, Daybreaker, the guys from Architects are back with their sixth full-length Lost Forever // Lost Together! Right off the bat, I can say that despite a relentless touring schedule and them shrinking down to a quartet, they managed to record a true return to form. While the …

Cosmogon – Chaos Magnum
When Cosmogon played their first show in January 2012, I called them the “newcomer” of the year and I was anxiously awaiting the announcement of any recording plans. It took the guys two years and a considerable amount of shows under their belt before they set these plans into motion and this year, on March …
As It Is – This Mind Of Mine
Get ready for some more punk! This time I have the pleasure of writing about the Brighton-based band As It Is, who are releasing their new, fan-funded, EP This Mind Of Mine on March 17th! The quintet plays pop punk but with a melancholic note to it, so while it’s not super depressive, it’s not …

The Intersphere – Relations In The Unseen
Barely two years after their last album, The Intersphere is releasing a new one: Relations In The Unseen. One might think that such a short period of time might not be enough to evolve musically, but one couldn’t be more wrong! But let me elaborate that in the next few paragraphs. While the German quartet …

King Goat – King Goat EP
Before I start today’s review, I should probably say that I am by no means a big doom metal connoisseur, I have had a few minor encounters when I was still looking for the direction I wanted to take and that’s about it. So please excuse the lack of comparisons that the aficionados among you …
Issues – Issues
When Issues released their debut EP in late 2012, I was severely impressed by it and I was amply stoked when they announced that they would be recording a full-length in 2013. At the same time I had some minor doubts as to whether they could keep up the high level of the EP…luckily the …
More Than A Thousand – Vol. 5 Lost At Home
They’re finally back! The Portuguese quintet More Than A Thousand has been working on their new record for quite a while and at some point it seemed that it might become the next Chinese Democracy. However, in early 2014 the band announced that Vol. 5 Lost At Home was going to be released on February …
