There are so many different hybrid genres out there in the world of metal alone that it’s nigh impossible to keep up with each and every one of them. New ones are made up every single day with another album … Continue reading Akasava – Strange Aeons
If someone were to have told me that there was a nice blend of a classic 70s sound mixed with groovy riffs that were chill but awesome at the same time, I would’ve been skeptical. Not out of the question, of course, it just doesn’t sound like it’d work to me. And yet hear I am after hearing such an album, a debut no less, that earns my two thumbs up with just 5 tracks on Ecstatic Vision’s “Sonic Praise”. Sometimes less is more and that is without a question true for this album because each track is a well … Continue reading Ecstatic Vision – Sonic Praise
That’s a funky looking album cover now isn’t it? Well, what else would you expect from a psychedelic rock band? Definitely something that fucks with your head that this does for me quite enough for me to get a headache if I stare at it for too long.

I’ve never been really big into instrumental albums with only listening to a few and liking fewer, but this album . . . This album is something else unlike all the others I’ve heard before. The lengthy songs of My Sleeping Karma’s upcoming album “Moksha” are something that I did not expect when looking at this album cover to say in the least. In each and every song there were a bunch of awesome riffs and psychedelic sounds that added this great atmospheric effects to the album that I’ve never heard before, and that gave “Moksha” an amazing feel to it for … Continue reading My Sleeping Karma – Moksha
