On only their debut release, Retching have found a way to present the gore-soaked, rotten, old school-inclined death metal sound that we all love with quality songwriting that elevates it beyond the nostalgic, aspiring bands of this ilk. It is what keeps the appeal from being diminished upon multiple listens and keeps the listener coming back for more as there’s more than just simplified caveman-mosh death metal savagery on offer here. The songs, while accessible and laden with compelling hooks, are intricate and structured, ...

“Formless Ruin of Oblivion is the second release from Massachusetts duo Hexrot, combining a dense stylistic mélange of death, black, and thrash metal with inventive electronic experimentation and a keen sense of structure. The 35-minute piece flows continuously across 7 tracks, maintaining a constant tension between the harmony and dissonance of its ever-shifting web of musical ideas. Seamlessly interwoven, a bed of modular synthesizer and other digital flourishes run the gamut fromclangorous and industrial to warm and ethereal. The immediacy of a live ...

“Prime” is the long awaited follow-up album to 2021’s “Zenith” and Imperialist have only spent the years honing their craft while keeping the death-touched sci-fi black metal sound intact. The songs are tighter and more intricate than ever before, reinforced further with thrash metal elements, and they showcase the darkness and menace displayed on the previous EP but also the maturity in songwriting, allowing piercing leads and shards of melodies and to shimmer through and liven up the proceedings lest they get too bereft ...

The pop postgazers Still Wave release their brand new EP Post Atomic Love. This is the first step of an experimental path that will proceed beside the regular albums. This one is the starting point of a concept about the way of loving in the post atomic age, the age of loss of identity, bonds and maybe feelings, expressed through inusual covers (Tears for fears, Taylor Swift, Dissection) and an acoustic version of their instant pop classic Starwound.1. Watch Me Bleed (Tears For Fears cover)2 ...
