Green Carnation – A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex
The band have set themselves a very high bar to maintain. What will they take on next? Whatever it is, I’m sure it won’t be a disappointment. We wait with great expectations.
Albums

Pattern-Seeking Animals – Grimalkin
I wonder if they can keep this work rate up, six albums in practically as many years is some going. The challenge is keeping them diverse and interesting, which so far, they have. All aboard the Pattern-Seeking Animals express, next stop in about a year?
Kristoffer Gildenlöw – [Humanised]
This album is one of those that gets better with every play. There will be more from this man, of that I have no doubt and I will be on the lookout for it.
Hopsydian – A Graceful Sin EP
These early steps on what should be a very promising journey for the band firmly states their intent to succeed. It’s a relatively short glimpse into what this band is about and hopefully there will be more to come soon.
Harboured – We’re Only the Love That We Lead
Denver’s Atmospheric Black / Post Metal outfit Harboured are presenting an excellent specimen of their style, with their sophomore full-length “We’re Only the Love That We Lead”

Down The Hill Festival 2026 – Saturday 22 August
Down The Hill Festival 2026 – Saturday 22 August Rillaar, Belgium (We had consciously chosen to attend only the Saturday) Review & photography by Jaak GeebelenThis coverage would not have been possible without the invaluable assistance of Ela Williamson. ...
Gender Reveal Atomic Bomb & Bikini Beach – Down The Hill Festival, Rillaar, Belgium – 22 August 2026
At first listen, Gender Reveal Atomic Bomb and Bikini Beach sounded surprisingly similar. Both bands draw from a raw, direct kind of rock energy, with punk as an important foundation, heavy guitars and very little interest in musical politeness. Yet their...

On a bill that moved largely between psychedelic rock, heavy psych and progressive music, Black Flower might have seemed like something of an outsider on paper. Yet anyone who saw the Belgian five-piece on the Wooden Stage quickly realised how relative such labels...
