American Arson- Sand & Cinder//Tide & Timber (Album Review) Nov. 7, 2023

Sand & Cinder//Tide & Timber

Detroits American Arson really impressed me with their full-length debut A Line in the Sand back in 2020, as their blend of hook driven alternative rock, rawer punk, and emotional post hardcore came together in ways that helped them to stand out from the pack.

Wolvennest has offered a unique take on psychedelic black and doom metal since their formation in 2015, emphasizing the haziness and sprawling layers of psychedelia with the metal side providing some harsher accents when the music needed it. 2018s VOID was my proper introduction to the band, and whi...

Pessimist
by Rile

Salt Lake City based Rile is likely to be a new name for many of you, but the bands full-length debut has been a long time coming.

Rorcal- Silence (Album Review) Oct. 17, 2023

Silence
by Rorcal

The album may be titled Silence, but Rorcals latest full-length is anything but silent.

Sometimes youd get more met...
