Gravity Thieves - Voiceless Infinity

a review of Voiceless Infinity by Gravity Thieves Sunrise opens this album up on a bitter note. The moodiness of the guitar and even the gritty texture of its tone suggest this dawn is one of reckoning. The song itself is quite repetitive, as is the entire album, but somehow makes this an asset. There’s a feeling of dragging out one’s last moments before embracing a cold new reality. The music doesn’t want to move on, and that’s the point. The resistance strengthens as we approach that point o

The Mantra Discord - The Lost Widow

The Lost Widow wastes no time in establishing what they’re all about. The opening title track’s somber guitars saturated with reverb set the mood. The crushing weight of sorrow is felt in an epic distortion-filled outro, accompanied by a feeling of acceptance that fades into the more reserved and contemplative Reach.

Novere - 'Nothing Stays Hidden in Daylight' Novere is a Post-Metal band from London, UK The opening track 'Hydra' hammers in with a chugging riff, heavy growling vocals, well harmonized guitars and a hefty drum beat hall us into this Doom laden, haunting opening track.

Mountainscape - 'Iridescent' Single Review

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 ri
