Ever Forthright – Techinflux
Despite all the complexity, the composition is very engaging and gets under your skin, making you want to move along to the grooves.

Monochromatic Black – Predacious
It feels like they stripped down a lot of the sophisticated fluff, and almost voluntarily chose to make this EP a bit more messy and muscular.

Red Handed Denial – A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia
The iconic sound is still there, and the songs are still very catchy, but the composition seems less riff-driven, and many of the songs come across more mellow and vulnerable.

Kälad – Arkamine
I think what makes this album interesting is the way it manages to combine what may seem as pretty generic symphonic metal tropes with a modern djent and metalcore blend of sounds and heavy electronic effects.

Martin Gonzalez – Suspiro
“Suspiro” feels like an honest experiment. It’s wacky and weird, but it hits all the intended feels in unexpected ways.

Illumishade – Another Side of You
Illumishade’s “Another Side of You” is the ultimate hybrid of genres, sounds and emotions not just because of how many puzzle pieces it puts together, but because of how beautiful and coherent the final picture is.

Stortregn – Finitude
I was expecting an exciting competition for tech-death supremacy to emerge towards the end of the year, as the release date to “Finitude” grew closer. What I didn’t expect, however, was that this album was going to shatter the bar and go play in a league of its own.

TesseracT – War of Being
This is not only their best album yet, but certainly one of the best releases of 2023, and any fan of progressive music ought to check it out!

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.

Dissentient – Labyrinth
If we believe Periphery, Djent is not a genre – and as they basically coined the term, they should know. However, if it was a genre, Canada’s Dissentient have taken the playbook and nailed it. Fans of the genre are well advised to look past the smaller-scale resume of this band and give the album a try.

Abstracted – Atma Conflux
This is one of the most impressive, gargantuan and multi-faceted prog death metal releases I’ve heard in recent years.

RO1 – Errorist
Despite it being a heavy, technical and nerdy piece of music, the melodies evoke a lot of soul and create a mood that is very refreshing and relaxing but also energizing at once.

Red Handed Denial – I’d Rather Be Asleep
It is a straightforward djent/core/alternative metal record except it absolutely crushes the standard for what I would consider a good album in this category.

Atomic Guava – Peasants of the Future
Every djent and prog metal nerd out there should do themselves the favor of checking out this album, especially if they’re introverted and need some booster to break their inhibitions.

WAIT – The End of Noise
“The End of Noise” is clearly a strong progressive metal release with both emotional and creative value.
Read More
Persona – Animal
It keeps the energy levels up almost all the way through, and flashes off fiery technicality in an elegant way that doesn’t distract from the energy and feel of the music.
Read More
Spiritbox – Eternal Blue
This album maintains many of the elements that Spiritbox have displayed on previous releases, but also brings a lot of fresh new ideas and creativity to the table.
Read More
VOLA – Witness
VOLA has produced a style transcending album that is catchy, well produced, heavier than their previous productions, but still one of those albums that in a few years’ time you’ll still put on because it never gets tiring.
