Albums

Latest

Allegaeon – The Ossuary Lens

Like all the best albums The Ossuary Lens gets better with every play because there is so much going on. If, and I hope this is the case, an eighth album is planned then bring it on I say.

Vermilia – Karsikko

The combination of Finnish lyrics, seamless blending of aggression and melody, and a beautiful approach to vocal layering, makes Vermilia’s music a constant clash of contrasting aesthetics that seems to reflect nature itself.

Jinjer_Duel

Jinjer – Duél

I’ve been thinking of them as a metalcore band, but I think that label might’ve become obsolete by the time they made “Macro”.

Skylimit – Skylimit

This EP isn’t anything I haven’t heard before. But it was mostly intended to be a compact dose of energy with some catchy hooks and grooves. And that mission was fully achieved.

Interviews

Anubis Gate in exclusive interview, talking about “Interference”, life & death, prog scene and more!

We sat down with Kim Olesen, Michael Bodin and Morten Gade Sørensen from the Danish progressive metal legends Anubis Gate, on a sunny friday afternoon to talk about the release of their new album and 9th album “Interference” and it turned out to be a long conversation, at times funny or turning to deep subjects like life, death, music education, as well as an overview of the band’s writing process and the Danish prog scene among much more!
