Marjana Semkina – Sirin
If you want to lower the stress levels and set a good vibe, this album should be among your top choices. “Sirin” sounds like scented candles smell. It’s auditory wholesomeness at its finest.
Albums
Latest
!GeRald! – Music for broken elevators
It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but at the same time there isn’t a moment where the silliness overtakes and feels too much. Everything is well balanced, which makes this EP so enjoyable and the perfect “entrée” for the new listeners.
Red Handed Denial – A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia
The iconic sound is still there, and the songs are still very catchy, but the composition seems less riff-driven, and many of the songs come across more mellow and vulnerable.
Oubliette – Eternity Whispers
“Eternity Whispers” is a powerful album, showing a lot of flexibility and experimentation to take the groundwork of black metal and rework it for an entirely different emotional payoff.
Haven of Echoes – Memento Vivere
I found it difficult to select my favourite tracks on this album because they are all excellent. So, I just picked the two longest ones, because you get more bang for your buck with those! When I reviewed their first album, I scored it 9/10 but this one is getting a 10.
