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.

Eight Lives Down – Fates

What makes ‘Fates’ brilliant to me, is the subtle way of informing the listener about what they are hearing, and the coherence of lyrics, compositional choices and aesthetics.

Vermilia – Karsikko

The combination of Finnish lyrics, seamless blending of aggression and melody, and a beautiful approach to vocal layering, makes Vermilia’s music a constant clash of contrasting aesthetics that seems to reflect nature itself.

Jinjer – Duél

I’ve been thinking of them as a metalcore band, but I think that label might’ve become obsolete by the time they made “Macro”.

Skylimit – Skylimit

This EP isn’t anything I haven’t heard before. But it was mostly intended to be a compact dose of energy with some catchy hooks and grooves. And that mission was fully achieved.

Distant Dream – The End of the World We Know

Distant Dream isn’t trying to blow minds, break records or reinvent the wheel in any way. They’re more in the business of providing pleasant emotional value and superb sound quality, for a fully immersive listening experience.

“Hush” displays a lot of compositional variety, and offers a strong throwback to prog metal classics while also keeping a unique sound and mixing in unexpected elements.

Vola – Friend of a Phantom

Anyone who’s familiar with the band’s previous work should know what to expect. They’re loyal to their sound and not exactly reinventing themselves with this album.

Gaerea – Coma

When done right, I feel like black metal can evoke some abstract and unspecified emotions of a primal nature, and that’s probably the strongest takeaway from Gaerea’s latest album!

Wintersun – Time II

The music becomes a vehicle for imaginative escapism, taking the listener into a both sensory and symbolic trance, which, despite its otherworldly aesthetics, becomes brutally and viscerally real by the time the album is over.

Haliphron – Anatomy of Darkness

If you want your mind blown by something groundbreaking, there’s not much for you here, but if you just want to jam some gripping and well-executed death metal, then look no further. Haliphron has you covered.
