ALBUM REVIEW: Malevich – Under a Gilded Sun
There are truly many directions you can go in music by taking influences from all over and finding a sound that is respectful to all of those influences.

There are a few tracks on the album that feature a build-to-climax song structure, similar to how post-metal bands structure their songs.Continue reading

ALBUM REVIEW: Nailed To Obscurity – Generation Of The Void
After a six-year wait, German Melodic Death/Doomers Nailed To Obscurity throw off any remaining shackles and on their fifth full-length studio album, Generation Of The Void (Nuclear Blast Records), fulfil the potential they’ve been threatening to for years. This might come at a cost for some listeners, as while clean singing has always been integral to their sound, it also tended to remain largely as a supporting character in a much larger play. On this latest offering, vocalist Raimund Ennenga really lets loose, delivering easily the best and most versatile performance of his career.

Further details about tours and acts sharing the stage – standard stuff for a forty-plus-year-old act. Then, “[U]nleash their seventh studio album Dark Believer through ROAR.” Wait, what? Seventh? When did they form? Huh. That’s like Guns ‘n’ Roses pace.
Let’s have a listen, shall we?
ALBUM REVIEW: In This House of Mourning – Enlèvement
Striding through a bleak and unsettling journey through the scopes of arcane, malevolent sounds centered around Funeral Doom, Death-Doom, and Extreme Metal; In This House of Mourning releases a full-length entitled Enlèvement–(Self-Released). The album is a 34-minute journey surrounding the discourses of misanthropy and malevolence-centered aesthetics. Aside from the unfiltered, soul-baring thematic discourses, some of the quintessential elements of this album, when it comes to the musical side are the raw production and intricate exploration of a dark, atmospheric sonic worldbuilding.Continue reading
