To create something new and interesting is something that many artists have been straining to do ever since music became a thing. It’s part of what drives people to make something new or at least try to, and given the … Continue reading Keor – Petrichor
If you’re anyone like me, the allure of heaviness and intensity are just two of the many reasons why you gravitate towards metal more often than not when it comes to your musical taste. Yet, if you’re also anything like … Continue reading Kaschalot – Whale Songs
I’m one of those people that when I imagine something like progressive rock, I go to the extreme. I see ridiculous displays of instrumentation with a crazy display of understanding when it comes to creating surreal experiences of the highest … Continue reading Axios – Erased
Experimentation is possibly the single most important thing that has allowed music to evolve the way it has over the centuries into what we know it as now. Many musicians have tried their hand to create a unique experience to … Continue reading Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate – Broken But Still Standing
When you’re like me and you’re constantly listening to the many forms of chaos that metal music tends to present itself in, a relief is something that can become a very welcome thing. It too can come in many different … Continue reading ShiMa – Vol.01

This is a track that you have to listen to when you’re looking to chill. This is not a track you want to play to get the energy at a party. “The Dispute” is Cartheus’ single from their upcoming debut album, and while the only problem I have with it is its pacing, this song is not bad by any means.
