Ignea – Dreams of Lands Unseen
Well, my list of bands to keep an eye on grows ever longer. This is a valuable addition to any serious metal fan’s collection.
Albums
Latest
The Nefilim – Zoon (Retrospective)
“Zoon” stands as one of the best gothic metal albums ever, and a very influential album for anyone mixing heavy guitar riffs with a cinematic feel. And while it’s not really “prog”, it played its part as an influence for the more atmospheric bands.
Enma – Apathy Awakened
This generation needs more bands like Enma: unafraid to go their own direction, their own style and break genre boundaries.
Soen – Atlantis
“Atlantis”［…］gives insight into everything Soen stands for – both musically and thematically – from a completely fresh angle. One that gives a majestic touch to an already highly perfected sound.
ТДК/TDK – Nemesta
With “Nemesta” you get to experience a wide range of emotions, even without understanding the lyrics. I can already smell the pretentious suburban middle class /mu/ users claiming it. “So sovietcore”.

Concert Reviews

Obscura – Persefone – Disillusion – Live at Doornroosje, Nijmegen – 28 Sept 2022
As a passionate concert goer and a fan of the extreme arts, this evening was one I couldn’t miss. The legendary tech-death group Obscura recently had a tour through Europe with support acts Disillusion and Persefone, the latter being a beloved favourite of mine. It is a tour that had been announced before the pandemic only to be repeatedly postponed until it finally happened. During this time both frustration and anticipation were left to boil, so when the riffs finally unleashed, it was catharsis time.
