CIRCLE STORY "Uncovered Fears" /CD/
August, 24 2018

The debut full-length album by Russian Melodic Alternative Metal/Rock band.
With their first album, Circle Story delivers some high quality material that features a bunch of hit potential songs. This eleven-track opus is all about variety. Of course in a good way. You can obviously hear some Grunge influences plus some low-tuned and 7-string riffing here and there. Catchy vocal melodies that won't go away after you stop listening, monumental arrangement with strings and keyboards and tasty guitar playing - that's also what the CIRCLE STORY debut contains.
With some Progressive twist that is present on some tracks, the band sounds like GOJIRA meets DREAM THEATER on some Modern Rock radio territory, which is also not bad at all. It is very hard to label this band, to tag this band. If you compare their music to fine arts - "Uncovered Fears" will be like canvas of many colors, hanging in a darkened room. It has everything good Rock or Metal album should have - arena choruses with well-thought-out guitars and rythm section. At a time when mediocrity pervades the music industry through and through, "Uncovered Fears" is a true gem to listen to. With its sincerity, deep emotion and immensity it should satisfy even the most picky listener.
Accompanied with a beautiful 12-paged booklet, featuring some interesting artwork by the designer Pablo Antonoff, this CD becomes a great option for the fans of ALTER BRIDGE, ALICE IN CHAINS, GOJIRA, STONE SOUR, KATATONIA, MASTODON. Progheads shouldn't be disappointed too!

"Forgotten Sunrise" by CIRCLE STORY

ADFAIL "Poetry Of Ruins" /Digital MLP/
June, 22 2018

The third studio album by Russian Doom/Death Metal band.
In this new mini-album, the progress of musical form of the band is well-heard. Massive and melodic sound, where the roaring of riffs and heaviness of meaning are mixed with the female operatic vocal, powerful growl and live & bearded viola.
The album is full of might, which you can hear in breathetaking solos of viola and guitar, simple rhythms and meaningful lyrics. Band really got a level-up with this release, and grows in content and musical variety. Every song is a genuine thing, and it is interesting to listen and follow. The track "Ode" based on John Keats poem "Bands Of Passion And Of Mirts", and "Escape" based on great Dante Alighieri's poetry "La Divinna Commedia".
The music of the band is a kind of mental pabulum and may fit to fans of such bands as Therion, Sirenia, Tristania, Septic Flesh, Draconian, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and more!

QAANAAQ "Escape From The Black Iced Forest" /Pit-Art CD/
October, 06 2016

Band's unique compositions take the freedom of Progressive music and apply it to a dark, obscure sound, with relentless growl vocals over a layer of twisted keyboard melodies, precise guitar riffing, powerful bass lines and funereal drums.
A lead role played by the keyboards, a warm sounding guitar and bass, varied and dynamic drums and a growl voice in contrast with the tuneful music.
Qaanaaq chose not to have solos in its songs, there's more desire to play and experiment with the structure of the songs instead. That's why this project is so different and unique compared to other Metal bands with the same style. This music is as the perfect soundtrack for a horror movie.
For fans of: Opeth, My Dying Bride, early Tiamat, early Paradise Lost, early Moonspell, Misanthrope, Ophthalamia, and early Anathema.

BLACK CULT "Cathedral Of The Black Cult" /CD/
June, 09 2016

The second full-length album by Croatian Black Metal band.
Containing 10 songs, including Motörhead cover “Kingdom of the Worm”, it's a manifestation of the individual presence of its creators within the Black Metal scene for almost two decades. Each track is a journey into a realm of despair and darkness, mainly due to the harsh vocals and cold & dark guitar melodies that blend perfectly together.
This is not an album that anyone can just 'whack on' in the background willy nilly. It must be listened to intently and taken in like the musical drug that it is. "Cathedral Of The Black Cult" is a flawless, yet intimidating musical experience which will open a portal to another dimension to the listener who's ready to gaze into it.
Streaming melodic riffs in extended phrases form the defining character of each song with representational distinction and progressions towards tonal and rhythmic changes, communicating the purpose of hierarchical sequence observed in nature’s ferociously necessary order of operation, reflected in the substance of the inner-self, magnified in the character of spiritual striving and agonizing existential discovery.
This is pure unsaturated Black Metal in all of its cold fury! There isn’t just grim lyrics reflecting the power of Satan and the beauty of Darkness, but the album actually draws the listener into the world beyond humanity. If you truly understand the music, you will be taken to the dark endless universe!!
This is the future and the past of the Black Metal! This is a masterpiece of Black Metal and Extreme Metal in general!! Every other word and description is pointless...
For fans of: Satyricon, Emperor, Mayhem, and all Black Metal fans in general.
Another Side Records, 2016 (ASR18-125).
