LOCUS TITANIC FUNUS "Never Pretend" /CD/
September, 21 2018

Second full-length studio album by Russian Gothic Doom Metal band.
For their second album, Locus Titanic Funus left the themes of cold spring, childhood nostalgia and cemetary parties. Now it is rather everlasting autumn and inexplicable feeling of a loss. With coming to such subject as wildlife sanctuary extermination, they cause thoughts about the dirt of capitalism and corruption, defend humanity and teach to love the life.
The loud sounds cannot move, cold rythmes play a dance, keyboard scores scratch from the within. For recording this album was used vintage instruments, so bass guitar got a distinctive piggy tone and guitars become long and mellow.
The funny fact about this album: if exclude the pauses between tracks, its duration is 66 minutes and 66 seconds.
This music will please fans of Saturnus, Estatic Fear, Desire and Autumn Rain Melancholy.
Another Side Records, 2018 (ASR23-150).

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.
Another Side Records, 2016 (ASR19-131).
