Scott Murphy
April 22, 2021
Features, Interviews, Premieres
Let me tell you, I was stoked when Eden put me in touch with Vivian Tylinska last week. Learning about a new Victory Over the Sun album was exciting enough, but having the chance to both premiere the album and... Read More...

Abyssal – A Beacon in the Husk

Jonathan Adams
June 24, 2019
Reviews
I’m a sucker for the kind of discordant, dissonant, technically adventurous death metal that leaves you simultaneously baffled and awed. Think Portal and their utterly unhinged songwriting, Ulcerate and their ... 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.
