Black Medium Current is a very groove driven album that sinks its teeth in further with each spin. It ends up taking on an hypnotic aura that makes me think of a more chilled out Schammasch, high on space mushrooms and drifting out into zero gravity. See you later Metalligator!

Becko – PRESENT DAY // PRESENT TIME Review
Tagged as “Anime Metalcore”, Becko plays a cornucopia of different genres of music, ranging from EDM to Hip-Hop to Metalcore. If there’s one positive about this release, it’s that the song “HYPNOTIZED” is the least offensive song present. I don’t mind this track, as it sounds like something fit for jamming in the background while playing a video game. Will this album wake up your inner gaming nerd?

Grin – Black Nothingness Review
Stoner doom that bangs out six fuzzy and judiciously chimed tracks before the pack on your pipe fizzles out? Unheard of! Believe it!

Sól án varma – Sól án varma Review
The best way to describe this album is in three parts: the build-up (I-III), the fury (IV-IX), and the afterglow (X-XII). Wear your best sunnies for this shining review.
