Of Virtue – Omen
Even if you are not a fan of metalcore you might find yourself warming to this band. The aggression that inevitably comes with the genre is tempered by the melodic elements running through the album.
Albums
Latest
Psygnosis – Mercury
This is an album to listen to when you are relaxed, preferably with your favourite tipple and with the lights dimmed. Just let the soundscape wash over you and take you to the far reaches of the Solar System
The Zenith Passage – Datalysium
As soon as I had sat through my first audition of the album, I knew it was gonna become a tech-death favourite.
Kallias – First Ascent
“First Ascent” is an extraordinary display of clever composition, diverse technical abilities and ingenious combinations that stands as a unique voice in the progressive death metal scene!
Distention – Nothing Comes From Death
Distention does a great job of bringing together the old and the new, and I can totally see it as a gateway for the older generations of metalheads to familiarize themselves with the new wave of tech-death, or vice-versa.

Evergrey with Need live in Flensburg, 4. October 2017
