Heavy Blog Guest List – Peripheral Cortex

Eden Kupermintz
January 25, 2021
Best of 2020, Lists!
If there was one album which made me ask "what the fuck?" this year, it was Peripheral Cortex's God Kaiser Hell. As I wrote elsewhere on the blog, it's not "just" a weird album; it's an album that's weird in a... Read More...

    June 14, 2021
    In many ways, Fortitude would have made for a more logical step between L’Enfant Sauvage and Magma. There are moments when it feels like the culmination of everything Gojira have done before, but just as many, if not more, where they feel like they’re rehashing ideas they’ve expressed more effectively in the past, or else are held back by what came immediately before; existing in the shadow of Magma’s template, rather than naturally pushing forward.
