ALBUM REVIEW: Bossk – .4

Posted on by

When you think of British Post-Metal, Bossk are almost certainly one the first bands that spring to mind.

ALBUM REVIEW: Allochiria – Commotion

Posted on by

 

The trajectory of the Greek sludge/post-metal unit Allochiria’s career started pretty long ago in 2008. To this day, they have released a self-titled EP and three full-length LPs to note. While being strong on post-metal coded slow-paced progressions, they also incorporate a touch of hardcore nuance manifested by how vocalist Irene presents inclement blackened growls on their songs. And, so, they are back on releasing a full-length, which is also their third one, titled Commotion via Venerate Industries.
