| Cynic Traced in Air |
| Harmonious waves of narcotics, brilliantly put into audible format. Collectively vibrant, incomprehensibly intelligent, and stunningly insightful; Cynic takes a critical gaze into the way music is articulated, and in doing so, compose a stellar atmosphere that even the most drug-induced 'high's' will envy. |
| Deathspell Omega Paracletus |
| Dizzy Wright Smokeout Conversations |
| Dizzy Wright The First Agreement |
| Jarren Benton Freebasing With Kevin Bacon |
| maudlin of the Well Leaving Your Body Map |
| Beautiful. Breathtaking. Emotionally compelling. Intellectually stimulating... Initially, minimalistic in nature, though it's only a faint veil of an apparition, for the exponential complexity that lies in wake of its depth. If only drugs could have an effect this enticing. |
| Opeth Watershed |
| Maturity is the most vast of progressions. Holding substantial homage to Still Life, Watershed carries itself as the older, more paced, more diverse, and more thought out sibling of the two. Gleaming song structure and Mikeal's most dazzling array of vocals to date. |
| Periphery Periphery II: This Time It's Personal |
| The Contortionist Intrinsic |
| The Pax Cecilia Blessed Are The Bonds |
| Modern classical meets Progressive & Atmospheric, articulating a grand orchestra that the gods themselves envy. Parting ways with previous Post-Hardcore tendencies, Blessed Are the Bonds incorporates vast Classical influence. Gaining a far more mature understanding of composition & structure, The Pax Cecilia aren't afraid to parade their intellectualized mannerisms about, even if it is done in a pretentious way. |
