Blackbriar – A Dark Euphony
As a prog fan, I always like to hear new things and get some surprise factor, but in Blackbriar’s case, the formula hasn’t yet become redundant and I’m perfectly fine with another album following this recipe.

Hypomanic Daydream – Image
I’m sure that Hypomanic Daydream is destined not to be very famous in the near future, but I wholeheartedly wish they get an underground reputation as they deserve it.
Alkaloid – Numen
On top of the fact that it is excellently put together as a modern death metal album, “Numen” might also be one of the most diverse and multi-faceted extreme metal releases I’ve come across!
Tegmentum – Evolvement
Despite having sat through a bunch of technical death metal albums since the beginning of this year, I can easily say that Tegmentum dropped the most brutal album of 2023 so far. And it will be a very difficult one to top.
Obsidian Tide – The Grand Crescendo
Dive into a spectacular work of cinematic progressive metal, highly recommended for listeners with an appreciation for strong dynamics and a sufficient attention span.

Evergrey with Need live in Flensburg, 4. October 2017
