When The Inner Mounting Flame hit in 1971, it didn’t really sound like a jazz record anymore. Or a rock record, either. The Mahavishnu Orchestra took pieces of both, wired them together, and sent the whole thing hurtling ...
Echoes is the second full-length from Ethereal Darkness, a melodic death/doom metal band from Belgium. Six tracks. Just over an hour. Atmospheric melodic death/doom buried under grief, exhaustion, loneliness, and that numb ...
Slaughterday’s Dread Emperor sounds less like a new release and more like something somebody accidentally unearthed from a flooded basement rehearsal room in 1992. The whole album has this ...
Iron Maiden once asked Can I Play With Madness? Stench of Sorcery answered with a battlefield full of corpses and a hard fucking yes. ...
Fields of Elysium’s In Ancient Contemplation sounds alive in a way most technical death metal records don’t anymore. Not polished-alive either. More like a band sweating through complicated ideas in a cramped room ...
Some albums feel written. Fading Aeon feels exhumed. Dragged out of frozen dirt with broken fingernails and lungs full of black water. Fading Aeon don't sound interested in being “modern.” Thank Christ. No plastic-core gloss ...
I’ve been following The Voynich Code for a while now, and Insomnia is still the record I keep going back to the most. Not because it’s their heaviest album or their most technical one. It just feels the most locked ...
The Dormant Darkness sounds like one of those albums a guy makes when he's more obsessed with heavy music than just about anything else. As soon as the record starts, Buried Realm comes out swinging ...
Seeking cosmic technical death metal for your earholes? Search no more. Mithras already solved the problem back in 2016 with On Strange Loops — a record that doesn’t just play like a collection of songs, but ...
There’s something instantly magnetic about the self-titled debut from Kidd Nostalgia. From the very first beat, the EP locks into a late-night atmosphere that feels equal parts disco glow, rooftop party, and solo city drive at ...
Christian Dillingham's As It Relates To Now carries that quiet confidence you find in the finest contemporary jazz albums. Rather than flaunting technical skills just to impress, Dillingham builds the record around ...
There’s something beautifully ruined about hearing Draconian again in full funeral bloom. In Somnolent Ruin doesn’t arrive so much as seep through the walls, carrying candle smoke, graveyard ...
Welcome to Original Synths, our neon-lit corner of the internet dedicated to the pulsing heart of modern Synthwave. This is where analog dreams, retro beats, and futuristic vibes collide.
Welcome to the Void. Where riffs don’t just hit—they fracture space. Where rhythm mutates into something almost sentient. Where melody flickers like distant signals from somewhere you’re not sure you can return from. Celluloid Dissonance is for listeners who don’t just hear music—they see it.
Crate diggers unite! Welcome to the shadow end of the groove—Deadwax Noir, where jazz lives in the margins and the stories start after midnight. We chase the hiss between notes, the forgotten pressings, the records that never made the clean light of day—and the classics that built the room in the first place.
