gc / nc – Deprecated

I very rarely quote from a band’s own description, but in the case of this gc / nc album, Deprecated, I feel it is almost unavoidable. I could direct you to look at the cover art, but it doesn’t explain…

Minutian – Magical Thinking

The third album from Finns Minutian has been a long time coming, but it’s absolutely been worth the wait. I first became aware of the band after the release of their second album, Inwards, which has remained a firm favourite…

Ciolkowska – Психоделия

As we get further into 2021, somehow I’m still stuck in 2020. Well, that’s not entirely true, as I have been listening to a lot of music from this year, but I continue to find gems I missed from last…

Fabrizio Giannese – Aborym

One of the best things about reviewing music is that something can be thrown my way that I might otherwise not have come across. This happened recently, when I was offered Aborym’s latest album, Hostile. I knew of the band,…

In this update we feature: • Tromb – I/O • Ikitan – Twenty-Twenty [EP] • Ping – The ZigZag Manoeuvre • Métronhomme – Tutto Il Tempo Del Monde ~ 1.òikos [EP] • Vulture Industries – The Malefactor’s Bloody Register •…

Souls Of Diotima – Janas

Some albums that come to me provide incredibly pleasant surprises. I honestly was not expecting to like Janas, from Sardinian prog metal band Souls of Diotima. From what I knew about the band, they seemed to be make music which…

The Advent Equation – Remnants Of Oblivion

I made mention of Nación Progresiva’s nominees for the Latino Progressive Album of 2020 recently, as I realised I had heard of only two of the bands whose albums were up for the award, and had heard only the nominated…
