Review: Milk Room – Controluce

by Dæv Tremblay
Milk Room is a Canadian progressive metal band with tinges of math rock in it. Their latest release, the Controluce EP, is made up of six songs flowing into each other, creating the feeling of them being part of a greater thing, some sort of long concept song divided in multiple movements.

The music is somewhat reminiscent of Protest The Hero and The Venus De Melos, the album of which we reviewed not so long ago here. The songs are intricate and technical and are filled with odd time signatures and complex guitar, bass, and drums parts, all of which … Read more

News: Portuguese prog metal band LaVolta release second EP “Calvário”

by Dæv Tremblay

Following their latest EP, Escape, the band moves on to the second part (Parte 2) of their story. While the first one was more happy and driving, the second part aims to be darker, just as the title implies (meaning calvary, ordeal). However, their music is just as entertaining and fun to listen to! Check out the EP on youtube, and keep coming back to see when they decide to release it for download!… Read more

Review: Laksamana – Antagonist

by Dæv Tremblay
Well, that’s something strange as I’ve not seen in a while. Describing itself as a “computer metal” one-man project, Laksamana, from Des Moines, Iowa, sounds like Jute Gyte’s more experimental, barely-even-metal albums, with vocals added on top. And this one truly reflects the spirit of our blog, which you can grasp by reading our name out loud.

The aim of the album was to make it abrasive and unpleasant, as a warning of what could happen if all the world lived in computers. The music was made so that it would be impossible to play without the aid of … Read more

Review: At War With Self – Circadian Rhythm Disorder

by Dæv Tremblay

At War With Self is a progressive rock/jazz fusion endeavour with Marco Minnemann and Glenn Snelwar. At first, it makes me think of the Pitts Minnemann project’s 2L82B Normal, probably because Marco’s drumming is really a signature sound. There is a lot of work put into this album, and it truly pays off, for your listening pleasure

Marco Minnemann is widely regarded as one beast of a drummer, after all he was pretty much close second on Dream Theater’s drum auditions, and he’s participated in a vastitude of musical projects: Paul Gilbert, Necrophagist, The Aristocrats, and multiple other ones. Glenn … Read more
