Exulansis – Sequestered Sympathy

Eden Kupermintz
November 25, 2019
Reviews
"Arresting" is a word which should be used for music more often. That is just a convoluted way of saying that I wish more music was arresting. Since music accompanies me pretty much during everything I do, the... Read More...

Technically, I could have made this post one of our Heavy Delinquency posts. Not because so long has passed since Ashbringer released their most recent album, Absolution, but because it's really too damn good ... Read More...

Falls of Rauros – Patterns in Mythology

Eden Kupermintz

One of the most elusive skills, a skill in dire need in metal especially, is the ability to balance between tension and release. It is in short supply everywhere, to be sure, since nailing the very subtle mome... Read More...
