EP REVIEW: ‘The Thing With Feathers’ by Exploring Birdsong
It’s rare to see a new band so defiantly earmarked for their originality as Exploring Birdsong. As much as the term ‘uncatogorisable’ is thrown around, it’s more out of hyperbole […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Sundowning’ by Sleep Token
Sleep Token have been causing a stir with their deeply emotional sound and theatrical appearance. Sundowning brings together the twelve tracks Sleep Token have released over the period from June […]

ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Ancient Geometry’ by Vexes
Hailing from the US, Vexes are clearly not afraid to experiment with genre fusion, rhythm and song structure. Their new album, Ancient Geometry, combines groove elements into progressive rock and […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘Final Transmission’ by Cave In
To an extent, it feels like Cave In needed to release an album like this. On the most surface level, it’s been eight years since White Silence dropped, and given […]
ALBUM REVIEW: ‘CHON’ by CHON
In the seemingly perpetual war of attrition going on between Polyphia and CHON to see who can reach the highest heights through impossibly technical yet smooth and groove-driven math-rock, it […]
