What can I say? I love slapping keys and listening to squiggly air.
First of all, I can’t believe Dr. Acula is back! When I saw the promo from Silent Pendulum that there’s a new album on the way, I had to triple check and listen to the single a couple of times. It still took a while for the reality to sink in and I’m not going to lie, I had some … Read more
The last time I listened to Fallujah was five or so years ago, around the time when they released Dreamless. I can’t say that I was impressed or anything of the sort, but I did spin that album for a short while, until I basically all but forgot about the existence of the band. I wasn’t even aware they made … Read more
At a chance recommendation of one of my best friends, I was introduced to An Abstract Illusion some three years or so ago. I was immediately hooked, as it would be obvious for someone with such an inclination for death metal. More particularly though, the melodic and progressive edge of their music was the actual selling point for me. Illuminate … Read more
We expect only greatness from the best of bands, right? My expectations were high for the new Psycroptic album as soon as they announced it — that much is certain. I think that it’d be hard not to, given their track record. The Australian phenomenon cornered a very nice piece of real estate in the metal territory, fusing thrash influenced … Read more
Today, I'll be sharing with you all a musician of many talents and a great propensity for being prolific. It all started a couple of years ago when I discovered Fawn Limbs and subsequently, the myriad of bands that are, somehow, oddly linked to the project. Eeli Helin is that bridge. For some of you that name may ring a … Read more
Over the past three or so decades, the face of progressive metal is, on a surface level, something that seems to undergo not that significant a change. Or at least, it can seem that way when compared to what is expected of such a nebulous and intricate area of music. As soon as one breaks the ice and dives beyond … Read more
Before I would conclude my going-to-every-possible-concert-I’d-be-interested-in tour for this year, there was one final stop – Jazz in the Park. Held in the hilly heartland of Romania, at Cluj, the festival celebrated its tenth birthday this year at one of the best spots in the city – Romulus Vuia Ethnographic … Read more
Last year’s Jazz in the Park edition left me positively enchanted. You can get the entire scoop right here, because I didn’t skim anything in the way of details. I was actually so enchanted and had so few reservations about the curation aspect of the lineup, that I decided to … Read more
I'm always excited about young emerging bands, especially ones that show more than a decent amount of promise. There's something just so immediate, fresh, and moving about the novel energy of young musicians that makes you feel like you've just been brought to life. In line with that, today, I … Read more
