Vipassi – Lightless (Season Of Mist)

An instrumental project, Vipassi proved their worth on their colourful and adventurous debut album “Sunyata” (2017).

Gash Faith & Larmo – Social Skills (Howl Chain Records)

Yes, it sounds strange title wise and it is musically too. Here we have a meeting of minds between two Polish entities both of whom have experimentation and sound-sculpturing foremost in their thoughts. On the one hand we have Noise… Continue Reading →

Ni – Fol Naïs (Dur et Doux)

Mathcore, Noise, Metal, Jazz? That’s the conundrum we are posed with on confronting this album by French instru(mentalists) Ni. Well to me it’s mathcore due to the fact that things never stand still for a second and the motion within… Continue Reading →

Xasthur – Inevitably Dark (Lupus Lounge)

What is exactly is the relationship between the artist and the audience? Does either owe the other anything? When I was young and full of fire and self-righteous opinions, Cold Lake and One Second felt like betrayals. Of course they… Continue Reading →

Oreida – The Eternal (Debemur Morti Productions)

Icelandic Black metal is back with another epic soundscape of blackened majestic, thought-provoking, epic musical scores courtesy of composer, multi-instrumentalist and sole member of Oreida, Thor. ‘The Eternal’ is constructed of five grand and contemplative tracks, each one delivering the… Continue Reading →

L’Ira Del Baccano – Cosmic Evoked Potentials (Subsound Records)

Time, or at least the way we perceive it as passing, can be a strange old thing, and it’s something I’ve particularly noticed when listening to music. Sometimes it can seem to drag, indicating something is an unwelcome slog to… Continue Reading →
