The barrage of blasting on the drums and running nature of the guitar riffs is technical enough to have the nerds satisfied, while the hostile, corrosive sound and evil chord progressions always keep the portals to hell open for those more ritualistically inclined.
I think what makes this album interesting is the way it manages to combine what may seem as pretty generic symphonic metal tropes with a modern djent and metalcore blend of sounds and heavy electronic effects.
With a new release, Norwegians MEER has written another chapter in their emotional music journey. “Wheels Within Wheels” deserves a good listen.
Fans of prog metal of the 70s-influenced flavour, complemented with a guttural edge, ornate instrumentation and a south American touch, should look no further than Piah Mater’s latest release “Under the Shadow of a Foreign Sun”!
This is album number eight for Kingcrow, who knows where album number nine will take them. Maybe into darker and stranger realms.

…this pre-release livestream for “Aphelion” proved to be the perfect tool to hype up the Leprous fanbase even more if that was even possible.
In these strange times and longer than expected restrictions, the possibility of safely attending a normal live gig still seems remote. There is light at the end of the tunnel although concerts booked keep getting postponed, some getting pushed back a year....
It was just a matter of time for drummer-extraordinaire Baard Kolstad to do a live-stream drum clinic. But not just any: hosted by his longtime friend and fellow drummer, Simen Sandnes, this was more a gathering of friends, present in the studio and online. Talking about his career and style and seasoned with playthroughs of some of his band’s songs as well as special covers.
Leprous delivered once again an unforgettable weekend by playing their albums Bilateral and Coal in their entirety. The weekends double streaming live from their hometown’s Notodden Theater have been a successful idea, and I was not going to miss my favorite Leprous album played live!
Israeli progressive metal band Scardust have recently gone through a line-up change and what better way can there be to welcome the new members to the group if not through a live show?
