The Veer Union – Reinvention
I find the diverse unpredictability of the material appeals to me a lot, despite the shortness of the tracks. These 10 songs are predominately melodic but with an aggressive edge.

Moron Police – Pachinko
Moron Police’s Pachinko takes listeners on a surreal, emotionally charged journey, blending grief, absurdity, and hope with their signature mix of progressive rock, metal, and unexpected melodic twists. The album spins from introspective melancholy to playful chaos, leaving a lasting impression of skillful, unpredictable brilliance.

Scardust – Souls
There’s always a list of things to get right in order to make good music, to have a complete “product”. But beyond all those, Scardust’s music is an experience. And just like any real life experience, it’s hard to contain it within boundaries.
