Spock's Beard - Archaeoptimist - (9/10) - Madfish

This is one of Progressive Rock’s finest album of the year. Just quirky enough to keep it interesting and intriguing, they explore plenty of unchartered territory on the album but always find their way home.

Behind Starvation - The Grief Sower - (9/10) - Inertial Music

"BEHIND STARVATION" recently released their ep "The Grief Sower", just a short album of only 5 songs. There was not much to be found on this band, accept they hail all the way from Italy; which I must confess that causes some jealousy in and of itself because I would love…

Gloombound - Dreaming Delusion - (8/10) - Gruesome Records

This was a delicious slab of Death and Doom Metal that freely toyed with your emotions. Sometimes, that meant driving an aggressive sound down your throat until you welled with anger, and at other times, you wallowed in despair. They also leave you with just enough hope to come back…
