October Tide – Winged Waltz – Album Review

Artist: October Tide Album Title: Winged Waltz Label: Agonia Records Date Of Release: 22 April 2016 I simply cannot believe that I don’t have any of the October Tide discography within my collection currently.

Odd Logic – Penny For Your Thoughts – Album Review

Artist: Odd Logic Album Title: Penny For Your Thoughts Label: Independent Release Date Of Release: 26 March 2016 The first I knew of Odd Logic was as a result of an email to my Facebook page. The band was recommended to me by a reader and so it was only polite to have a listen. Continue Reading »

Artist: Knifeworld Album Title: Bottled Out Of Eden Label: InsideOut Records Date Of Release: 22 April 2016 I vividly remember being confronted with the sounds of Knifeworld for the very first time.

Universal Mind Project – The Jaguar Priest

Artist: Universal Mind Project Album Title: The Jaguar Priest Label: Inner Wound Recordings Date Of Release: 29 April 2016 It is one thing to be impressed by an album from a band that you’re familiar with but one of the best feelings when reviewing music is being absolutely bowled over by a band that you Continue Reading »

Fleshgod Apocalypse – King – Album Review

Artist: Fleshgod Apocalypse Album Title: King Label: Nuclear Blast Year Of Release: 2016 You can’t beat a bit of unadulterated brutality. My life would be much the duller without some brutality in it. I’m not, of course, talking about physical violence here. After all, I’m the kind of coward that runs away at the first Continue Reading »
Rikard Sjöblom – The Unbendable Sleep – Album Review

Artist: Rikard Sjöblom Album Title: The Unbendable Sleep Label: Gungfly Productions Year Of Release: 2016 I must be honest from the outset and say that I have never been a big fan of Beardfish. I should be, but their particular brand of progressive music has never really clicked with me. Having admitted this, an eyebrow Continue Reading »
Brainstorm – Scary Creatures – Album Review

Artist: Brainstorm Album Title: Scary Creatures Label: AFM Records Year Of Release: 2016 Brainstorm are a band with whom I’ve had a patchy history.
