YAWN – Materialism

“Materialism” kept me on my toes from start to finish. I always admire interesting and avant-garde, but well-balanced approaches to metal like this.

Closure in Moscow – Pink Lemonade

“Pink Lemonade” is this great album, in which with each re-listen you notice new little details. If you need something wacky ala The Mars Volta in your life, don’t hesitate to give it a try!

Allegaeon – Damnum

The prospect of seeing Allegaeon play at least some of this album live, is mouth-watering indeed. But for now, this new offering from these masters of their craft, will have to suffice.

Zeal & Ardor – Zeal & Ardor

Zeal & Ardor is one of the finest records so far this year. Heartily recommended for everyone who has a healthy appreciation for forward-thinking and adventurous music!
