Antlion – The Prescient

by Dæv Tremblay

Antlion is a progressive death metal quartet from Canada’s capital, Ottawa. Their debut album, The Prescient, came out on October 23rd.

First of all, they don’t do anything spectacularly out of the norm, but they do it well enough to keep it an interesting, and at times engaging, listen. There’s plenty of time signature changes and modulations throughout the album, the riffs are complex and driving, and the overall sound is tight. It just makes you try and fail to headbang to it.

Sutrah – Effervesce (Demo)

by Dæv Tremblay

Sutrah just released a 2-song demo that will shake the prog/tech-death world.

Zvoyn – Zealous Decadence Trilogy (2009-2012)

by Dæv Tremblay

Listen to this while reading!

WHAT THE FUCKING UNHOLY FUCK???

Remember when before there was the universe, there was, like, absolute chaos?

Yeah, me neither.

But if I had to compare this to anything, it’d be that.

Hailing from France, Zvoyn is, from what I could understand, a one-man project, from some crazy bassist. The trilogy comprises three books of the “Onomatopeous Love Letters” series, and it is what it is: Onomatopeous. There doesn’t seem to be any true lyrics written to those ladies, to whom these love letters are destined, however. And I don’t know what these damsels did, … Read more
