Mountainscape are a Post-Metal Instrumental group from Reading, UK .

Their new single 'Iridescent' (with album of the same name) is out now on all streaming platforms!

The track floats in with subtle soundscaping and a light wandering guitar riff before the sledgehammer is dropped with the crunching main riff and thunderous drums.

Returning to an atmospheric and melancholic verse section, with rolling drums and meandering delayed guitar while a growing sense of suspense push toward a heavy riff driven climax.

With their two previous album releases, "Acceptance" (2021) followed by "Atoms Unfurling" (2022) the band have become established on the Progressive Rock scene, playing gigs in and around London, Reading and the rest of the UK

Their unique blend of Black-Metal, Doom and Post-Rock echoes shades of Long Distance calling, Russian circles, Caspian and Cult of Luna, though tend to surprise with intermittent ambience and sophisticated space building.

Their latest album release "Iridescent" was released Friday June 7th and is available on all streaming platforms.

The band describes their newest work as "Exploring further the pairing of dreamlike shoegaze with earth shattering heaviness, unexpected twists and a strong emphasis on memorable songwriting"

Album Review - Growth by Wilderness

Wildernesses are a London-based alternative rock band whose debut album, Growth, was released in March 2026 on Floodlit Records. Opening with Sleepless, a haunting and restrained loop that slowly unfolds through warm guitar tones, overlapping harmonies, and carefully layered counter-melodies. There’s a sense of a weight being carried, before we gradually open into something more hopeful and purposeful. We feel that tension between heaviness and release as an emotional thread running throughout

For All the Days Gone: Sloen Blends Post-Rock and Metal Into Something Special

Sloen is a french multi-instrumentalist that begun his carrer in 2022. The guitar workmanship on Sloen's new release is simply irresistible. Across six tracks, the album demonstrates a masterful touch with instrumental layering, creating deep and immersive melodies that draw you into expansive sonic landscapes. The interplay between dreamy passages and carefully deployed distorted guitar creates a compelling contrast, like being gently awakened from a peaceful escape to confront the full weight

Disconections by AV Sunset Album Review

AV Sunset are a 4 piece Instrumental post-rock outfit from Northampton, UK. Their debut album 'Disconnections' was released in December 2023. The soundscaping work is excellent - Radar Invisible is like an atherieal dream, with mind sirens calmly whirring. While tldl is wide and tranquil - cautiously rising toward and energetic horizon. Often kick-starting adrift in an eerie well of melancholy and ponder - we are guided through an orientating mire towards a heavy, hammering resolve (Hasselhof
