04.18.18 |  | Aepoch Awakening Inception
One of the best debuts I've heard in the progressive death subgenre in some time. Aepoch manage to incorporate thrash, death, prog and black metal into an ultra slick and melodic framework, with blistering, elaborate solos and tasty and distinct bass passages. My only real issue with the album stems from its length; it's clear that the band had an immense amount of content they wanted to pack in, and because of the lack of any real pruning, it can tend to drag at parts. Still though, the amount of promise on-board is obvious from the jump, and further honing might lead them to a true genre classic further down the line. Got to give it to Cana | 4.0

04.16.18 |  | Nekrogoblikon Welcome to Bonkers
Probably their most varied effort to date, with tons of hilarious yet well composed detours
through different subgenres. I'd almost go so far as to call this avant-garde, because it expands
past melodeath for the majority of the run time. The gimmick of Nekrogoblikon might initially put
some off, but its the well composed, varied tracks, and weighed production that will cement this
particular album as something more. | 4.0

 | BallsToTheWall Dawg, you just beat me to the punch on the new Absence song. So stoked for a new album.

 | Hansol Hey man. I saw you comment on The Midnight's album. What other synth pop albums do you recommend that are superior to The Midnight? I just discovered them and really like them, so if you had some superior recommendations, I'd love to check it out. Thanks!

 | Jacquibim Suspected that was the case, but omitting them wouldn't make me enjoy the album much more unfortunately

 | Dmax28 Hey man, I am the biggest Omnium Gatherum fanboy. I think the last three albums starting with Redshift are classics. I can't argue with your assessment of the new album though. I can enjoy it, but it's their weakest since Stuck on Snakes Way. It's a shame they went for such predictable songwriting and simpler arrangements for the most part this time around. I think some of the songs are still classic Omnium Gatherum, but the last track is what really bummed me out.
