Rosetta - The Galilean Satellites
85

An album split in two that you overlap to get a full experience and yet they still offer an experience on their own too? Crazy unique concept I love it

First half is more atmospheric sludge while the second half is drone. Layered on top of each other you get a simultaneously horrifying and oddly hypnotically beautiful experience.

Kind of wish you could find the combined versions on streaming but the best bet is YouTube. Although I kind of liked overlapping it on my own with the first half at ... read more

this album is a purpose

blackmidi’s debut is bold to say the least. Everything about it is unconventional and strange, from the vocal deliveries to the unusual time signatures and song structures.

Definitely a lot more experimental compared to their later work, but I think it’s extremely fascinating and makes it a mysterious album which is exactly what I think they were going for

A pretty cool experimental rock experience, much head scratching to be had

Liturgy - 93696

starting out pride month with some “transcendental” black metal

93696 is 100% one of the most unique black metal experiences out there. You get elements of angelic chorus interludes, intense orchestration mixed with heavy guitars, and a seemingly never ending relentless vocal performance.

東京酒吐座 [Tokyo Shoegazer] - Remains

delivering the shoegaze in 2026, thank youuu

Honestly my first exposure to Tokyo Shoegazer, but I quite enjoyed this! Peaceful, atmospheric, and well-balanced.

My only real complaint here is that the vocals are a bit drowned out by everything else a lot of the time, I also think some parts of the instrumentation could’ve been adjusted to be a bit more prevalent to really elevate some of the riffs further.

Aside from that, I thought this was pretty consistent and enjoyable all the way ... read more

1349 - Hellfire

hellfire is 13:49 in length? genius

1349’s Hellfire is probably their most well regarded project overall and it’s easy to see why. Frost’s drumming is extremely notable: vicious yet clean. The guitar work is already pretty awesome along with the vocals.

Overall, you’re getting a pretty standard black metal package here. Edgy and dark lyrics, breakneck riffs, and lots of screeched vocals.

I think the first 3 songs and the closer are the most memorable here, Sculptor of ... read more
