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.
Albums
Latest
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!
Mother of Millions – Magna Mater
“Magna Mater” is a very immersive and atmospheric album, but that does not mean it’s not heavy. Rather, all the heavy riff elements have a different purpose than you’d expect.
Charlotte Wessels – The Obsession
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Charlotte has like 3 masters and a PhD in the aesthetics of emotional vulnerability.
Atomic Guava – Beach Episode
What bands like Atomic Guava have taught me is that a hook is best served with technical complexities on the side.
