Klank: Between Unholy and Divine Vol. 2 [ALBUM REVIEW]
Hitting the scene in ’93, Klank began as a solo project of Darren Diolosa. That changed about four years later following live performances, and Pat Servedio joined the project as a full-time member. Between Unholy and Divine Vol. 2 is the band’s 8th studio album and the long awaited follow-up to Vol. 1 that was released last year, which I would also recommend!
Imperialist: ZENITH [ALBUM REVIEW]
Over the past decade or so, California has produced more than a few bands with fresh perspectives and interpretations of extreme metal subgenres such as technical death metal, black metal, and deathcore, among others. Teleporting in from environs east of Los Angeles, Imperialist engineers another exciting offering in a particular variant of black metal known as “cosmic” or “sci-fi” black metal.

Haken: Fauna [ALBUM REVIEW]
Although Haken started their recording career in 2010, they demonstrated their full potential with the musical diversity, complex arrangements, and storytelling power of Visions (2011). With The Mountain (2013), Haken truly took the progressive music scene by storm and earned the attention of fans worldwide. In that recording they also developed musical themes and characters (the “Cockroach King,” for example) that they would continue to weave creatively through the music of their next three albums. In this trilogy of albums, Haken would add heavier, djenty riffs, experiment with complex ti
