Burial in the Sky – “Creatio Et Hominus”
In the league with Black Crown Initiate, early White Arms of Athena, and Fallujah, I’d label Pennsylvania’s Burial in the Sky Progressive Melodic Death Metal. In my opinion, track one “Nexus” and the last minute of “Tesla” tells the listener … Continue reading →
Fractal Gates – “The Light That Shines”
My first encounter with France’s Fractal Gates was on their last album “Beyond the Self,” which was mixed and mastered by the great Dan Swanö. Swanö provided guest vocals for their cover of the Cheap Trick song “Mighty Wings.” The … Continue reading →
Usurpress – “Interregnum”
I passed on reviewing the last Usurpress album “The Regal Tribe” and it’s one of those times that when I did pass, I knew I had fucked up. My excuse at the time was that I was buried in reviews … Continue reading →

Words of Farewell – “A Quiet World”
I’ve heard a lot of buzz about this album so I was very excited to get a chance to review it. While I recognize that Words of Farewell are a solid band that sound great, “A Quiet World” is a … Continue reading →
In Flames – “Battles”
Let’s get a few things out of the way. No I don’t consider In Flames to be “prog.” I decided to review this album because I like the band. So if you are only into things labeled as “prog,” you … Continue reading →
