Dawn of Ouroboros – Velvet Incandescence
The album sounds like a ritual that hooks you and then engulfs you entirely as if it taps into something primal and fundamental to life.

Oceans on Orion – Start from Nothing
‘Start From Nothing’ is a striking and engaging record, and especially for a debut, I find it truly remarkable.

Vintersea – Woven into Ashes
With “Woven into Ashes” we see Vintersea reaching for the stars in full-blown epicness.

Flub – Dream Worlds
Flub continues to deliver high-quality melodic tech-death with a sound unique enough to avoid becoming a cliché.

Demon King – Vesania
Demon King’s debut was an instant dose of satisfaction for me. And after sitting through a couple of streams of “Vesania”, the only thought process that I can expect went behind this one is “Let’s do it again… but MORE”.

Merethe Soltvedt & Moe Espinosa – Life Is a Dream
Despite the full release being only 17 minutes in length, it is a well put together work of art that can easily sink you into its atmosphere and make all your worries drain away.

For I Am King – Crown
This album manages to build some massive momentum and tons of energy as well as compositional and expressive variety!

This is the most extreme album that Chaos Over Cosmos has ever released.

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.

An Abstract Illusion – Woe
The creative effort, challenging topic and gargantuan scale of the delivery can only secure a place for “Woe” as one of the strongest contenders for the 2022 album of the year.

Dreadnought – The Endless
As a whole, “The Endless” can best be defined as compelling, hypnotic and cathartic.

Warforged – The Grove | Sundial
I feel like the band stayed true to the weird, ruthless concoction of sonic witchcraft and mad science that made their debut so savage, but they decided to take their listener’s risk of heart failure into account on this one.

Stormbound – December
At the end of the album, it feels like you ran a marathon, been transported through many places and even different eras, as if you were on a proper adventure, and you’re left with a beautiful sense of finality.

Aronious – Irkalla
“Irkalla” follows the band’s unique brand of unstable, constantly shifting progressive tech-death, but it seems updated both in virtuosity and composition from its predecessor.

Atomic Symphony – Hybris
While it is probably not the most innovative or surprising work I’ve heard, it is authentic, exceptionally well produced, and delivered by a tremendously talented group of musicians who really knew how to come together in their craft.

Greylotus – Dawnfall
While I still struggle to take most of it seriously, I absolutely love hearing it. If you want everything you believe about the world to be proven wrong, be sure to spin “Dawnfall”.

Abstracted – Atma Conflux
This is one of the most impressive, gargantuan and multi-faceted prog death metal releases I’ve heard in recent years.

RO1 – Errorist
Despite it being a heavy, technical and nerdy piece of music, the melodies evoke a lot of soul and create a mood that is very refreshing and relaxing but also energizing at once.

Red Handed Denial – I’d Rather Be Asleep
It is a straightforward djent/core/alternative metal record except it absolutely crushes the standard for what I would consider a good album in this category.
Read More
Inanimate Existence – The Masquerade
I think this band finds a way to make their music so mathematically precise and clinical that it starts losing credibility as being played by humans. And I’m not necessarily saying that in a bad way.
