Bye bye Scott Kelly! You abusive loser.
Ok, that aside, me and Neurosis have been in a pretty comfy relationship. I am not the biggest fan of them in comparison to their contemporaries like Isis, or Cult of Luna, but their releases have always left a pleasant taste in my mouth. So, when I heard they were making a new studio work, a decade after their last one from 2016, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to review them. Right?
No it didn’t hurt. In fact, this record is actually really ... read more
It's been nearly 3 years since I last rated an album from Ne Obliviscaris. A bit crazy considering they’re one of my favorite metal bands out there. But I guess better late than never when it comes to looking into the work of this immaculate band. So, I figured, why not restart to their debut, Portal of I?

Honestly speaking, this record is one of the most unique sounds I have ever experienced. The coverage of a wide range of genres is simply immaculate here. It takes notes from a good deal ... read more
With a career spanning easily five decades, Mike Oldfield has had quite the lofty discography to go around.

Well, he does have one, and that happens to be Music of the Spheres.
Now, normally I don’t do this, but I’d ... read more
It is surprising that Motorpsycho doesn’t have a lot of live records. You’d expect a band as jammy as they are, we’d be on Roadwork Vol. 99 by now. But it seems like they prefer studio life more, which I cannot knock them against. Their studio records are often amazing.
And I cannot knock them too hard on the live front, as the Roadwork series of live records have been pretty mixed at best. Some good ones like Roadwork Vol. 1 and Roadwork Vol. 3, an alright one with Roadwork ... read more
