Well. Here we are again. Another year ends and the insatiable urge within us to look back and to summarize kicks in. But, like last year, we have chosen to resist this urge somewhat by doing away with having a... Read More...

Looking back on the career of Boss Keloid is an interesting exercise, in more ways than one. The obvious angle is their style; they move from a good to great stoner metal/rock band to this hard-to-pin-down, ex... Read More...

  • Moon Tooth – Phototroph

    Eden Kupermintz
    May 5, 2022
    By now, Moon Tooth have garnered themselves quite a following in the progressive metal spaces. This is no accident; the scene is hungry for the kind of upbeat and unrestrained music that Moon Tooth is creating. Good news then: Phototroph is by far the band’s most energetic and “poppy” release, and I mean that in the best way possible.

  • Eight Bells – Legacy of Ruin

    Eden Kupermintz
    April 7, 2022
    Legacy of Ruin very much continues Eight Bells' style of ethereal, haunting doom but splices it with more dynamic and muscular riffs, drums, and vocals for a new, and markedly improved, version of the band's sound. It is still an album to sink into to be sure, but it also affords the listener with more footholds on their way down.
