Martin Gonzalez – Suspiro
“Suspiro” feels like an honest experiment. It’s wacky and weird, but it hits all the intended feels in unexpected ways.

Eternal Storm – A Giant Bound to Fall
Eternal Storm explore complex ideas, deliver them through raw and unaltered emotion, and do so using brilliant musical ideas delivered with fantastic execution.
Cypecore – Make me Real
This band probably should be better known, they have a cool image and an interesting concept, almost a brand. By all accounts their live shows are something to behold. Whether I get to witness that remains to be seen, maybe not. Regardless, there is a back catalogue to investigate and possible future episodes of Cypecore to look forward to.
Dark Oath – Ages of Man
The fresh take on heavy orchestration in death metal is very exciting. They nailed an incredible sound and brought forth some fantastic melodies and epic moments.
Apogean – Cyberstrictive
This album does a great job of bringing some fresh and inventive ideas to death metal, without sacrificing any of the expected tropes of the genre.

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.
