Post-metal and Prog pioneers Hypno5e did it again… They released an album, that nobody would have expected. Not only, did they create 75 minutes of dreamy, pure, acoustic and intense music. The new album “Alba, les Ombres Errantes” is the original soundtrack to a film project Hypno5e mastermind Emmanuel Jessua brought to life, showing the places in Bolivia, where he grew up. A breathtaking visual that supports the music in a strong way, but the combination of both is the best way to enjoy it. When you liked „Tio“ on the previous release “Shores of The Abstract Line”, you will definitely dig this album. Prepare yourself for a journey of the mind!

This will be the shortest review I ever did… Owl mastermind Kolf created a true masterpiece. Epic, deep, and brutally honest. “Orion Fenix” peels your skin off and overcomes with emotions that truly touch the core. This is true melodic Doom magic. Unbelievably thick and smooth at the same time. I bow down!

THALL! Welcome to the technical side of dirty Doom sounds mixed with Djent rhythms and extremely downtuned six-strings. Combine it with vocals that let your own vocal chords bleed by only hearing one verse and you got “Mark Of Rot”, the current debut release of Denmarks Cabal. The bone-crushing heaviness gives you a constant feeling of uneasiness – but still, you can‘t get enough. With guest appearances by Thy Art Is Murder‘s CJ McMahon and Filip Danielsson of Humanity‘s Last Breath, the Copenhagen-based Cabal join forces with two of the most anticipated vocalists regarding Deathcore or Technical Djent. This thing is a massive and intense beast with some hidden gems that should be heard.

Corrosion Of Conformity are back! On their current release “No Cross No Crown”, which is finally fronted by Pepper Keenan again, the band delivers high-quality, bluesy Stoner Metal tunes after their fans’ fancy. Fourteen tracks without any fillers show the quartet’s excellent shape. Extended solos, melodies that make you bow down and gut-punching grooves combined with Pepper’s voice = 52 minutes of pure magic and drive. As usual, Corrosion Of Conformity are a band that stands for quality, ideas and uncompromising honesty.
