Wintersun – Time II
The music becomes a vehicle for imaginative escapism, taking the listener into a both sensory and symbolic trance, which, despite its otherworldly aesthetics, becomes brutally and viscerally real by the time the album is over.

Latest
Devin Townsend – PowerNerd
I don’t think anyone’s expecting by now that Devin will ever put out a “bad” album.
Haliphron – Anatomy of Darkness
If you want your mind blown by something groundbreaking, there’s not much for you here, but if you just want to jam some gripping and well-executed death metal, then look no further. Haliphron has you covered.
Ankor – Shoganai
Their songwriting, emotional delivery and technical abilities have not only improved, but also started coming together in a more coherent and meaningful way.
Disembodied Tyrant – The Tower: Part One
They score big on originality, production, shock factor and technical skill. But I feel this release suffers a lot from the disjointed songwriting and the excessive use of sound effects.
