Artificial Language – Distant Glow EP
As good as this EP is, I hope it is a stopgap in lieu of another full album. That would be most welcome, and this is certainly a band to watch out for.

Persefone – Lingua Ignota: Part I
They were always kings of odd time signatures, disrupted rhythmic songwriting and extreme technicality, so to see them scale down on these aspects was not something I was ready for. I was also afraid they’d just dilute their creativity to please a wider audience. But Persefone is as strong as it ever was, if not even stronger.
Desolate Plains – The Inexhaustible Imperfection of the World
If you too would like to dive into dopamine induced hopelessness then I invite you to enter “The Inexhaustible Imperfection of The World”.
Turbulence – B1nary Dream
We’re left with strong feelings of uplifting melancholia, if that makes any sense, triumphant, yet aware of the hardships and traumas endured on our journey so far. And that is the exact moment I know there’s no way around a perfect 10/10 for “Binary Dream”, because it’s nothing short of breathtaking, both on a technical and emotional level.
Shadowpath – The Aeon Discordance
For me, this is a band that stands out from the crowd and “The Aeon Discordance” gets better with each listen. Their compositions are diverse and vibrant and have the ratio of ingredients that closely match my current musical taste. I hope this album will propel them to greater things and I look forward to hearing more from them.

Day 3 and last of Euroblast 2018. It was all in all an excellent festival, very well organized but with a couple of hiccups here and there. Other than that this is a well-oiled machine of a festival.
