News: Pryapisme releases video for Futurologie Part IV!
Here it is! The glitchy, catty, spacey music video for the first music piece from Pryapisme‘s new EP, Futurologie. This one is Part IV, and there’s only one thing I must say: it’s too short! It’s too damn short!
In other words, I can’t wait February 9th, when this bad boy comes out. Pre-order the EP now here!… Read more
Existential Animals – Surrealith
Existential Animals‘ djenty instrumental technical death metal EP Surrealith, which revolves around geological themes akin to The Ocean Collective’s Precambrian album, is a strong debut release, it will make you ask for more!
First of all, the strong impressions that album gave me are the technical capabilities of the musicians and the despairing atmosphere coming out of their music.

The instruments uncannily succeed in … Read more
Mammoth – Polymorphism
Mammoth takes the best of classic progressive rock and fusion elements to deliver us a truly hairy beast, Polymorphism.
With such a band name, I couldn’t help but draw comparisons to The Explorers Club’s Raising The Mammoth album, which is a gem of modern progressive rock.

Cryptic Ruse – Chains Of Smoke
Microtonal music artist Jason Yerger’s project Cryptic Ruse (formerly City of the Asleep) – now with actual microtonal guitars! – returns to show us his new and masterfully crafted work: Chains of Smoke.
Using three different exotic tuning systems – 13 EDO, 15 EDO, and 23 EDO (EDO stands for Equal Divisions of the Octave) – and a wide palette of musical genres, Jason makes us travel to never-before heard sonic landscapes. By using “oriental” and “middle-oriental”-sounding tunings with a more standard (for us, westerners!) metal band quatuor instrumentation, with due distortion, riffs, … Read more
