Dark, eerie, and moody doom / post metal from Spain! Black holes have always been a fascinating topic, at least to me. They are powerful constructs that seem to have the ability to suck away everything in their path, even light, holding it all in a natural maximum security prison with no possibility of escape.

Orkhys – Errance – EP Review

A progressive soundscape of symphonic, folk, melodeath, and black metal flavors that is enchanting! It is always interesting being first exposed to a band via an EP, particularly when they have a couple full lengths under their belt already. It is even more interesting when this EP only has two songs, with the first being

Nesfastis – Shadows at the Light of Dawn – Album Review

Leave a Comment / Album Reviews / , , , ,

Intricate, orchestral and heavy: fabulous cinematic symphonic death metal from Italy! I have always been a believer that symphonic music is a perfect match for metal when executed well. The gravitas and cinematic qualities it brings has the ability to make the compositions so much grander. Symphonic metal can take a variety of forms, though
