Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Acidosis – Arrival Review: When I think about Miami, the first things that come to mind are excellent empanadas, terrible traffic, and Cynic. What doesn’t come to mind is thrash, although I’ve learned that the Magic City has some history in this regard (Solstice). Thrash quintet Acidosis currently resides in Los Angeles, but their own history dates back to a Miami high school in the mid-to-late… http://dlvr.it/TRfYJz LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Via Doloris – Guerre et Paix Review: Sometimes a record practically introduces itself with a shrug. Take Via Doloris and their debut Guerre et Paix. The band name? A shortened nod to the Via Dolorosa. The death of Jesus and some “suffering-as-identity” vibes that we’ve seen a thousand times in black metal. The album title? Literally War and Peace in French. The cover art? You’ve seen it. You have… http://dlvr.it/TRfC8g LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Daidalos – Dante Review: Dante’s1 Divine Comedy will always be remembered for its first third: Inferno. I have some ideas as to why, but my best is that neither Purgatorio nor Paradiso wield the spite of Inferno. Dante literally condemned everyone he’d ever had beef with, living and dead, to eternal damnation. I think that same chippiness rubbed off on the symphonic black metal band Daidalos with… http://dlvr.it/TRdXNr LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Speglas – Endarkenment, Being & Death Review: It’s not uncommon for death metal musicians to mellow and prog out the longer they roam this Earth. Far from a negative connotation, enough songwriting prowess can lead to a tasteful and potent way to carry out said development. One of many collectives in this category is the Morbus Chron expanded universe. These Swedes first went from classic death… http://dlvr.it/TRcwvw LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Calvana – Sub Janus Review: Picture “black metal.” What do you see? Frigid wastelands illuminated by burning churches? Damp crypts beneath gothic cathedrals? Varg’s stupid backyard vlogs? One band would have you consider the picturesque slopes of Tuscany’s sunbathed Calvana mountain region. The anonymous duo of Italy’s Calvana have raised hell in the name of their treasured namesake mountains for… http://dlvr.it/TRcJyk LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Ethereal Darkness – Echoes Review: Way back in the year before the Great Plague, I took a chance and reviewed an unheralded, self-released album by a one-man band from Belgium called Ethereal Darkness. We received the promo from the AMG contact forms without fanfare or fluff, but what I heard on Smoke and Shadows really impressed me. Project mastermind Lars created a monumental slab of melancholic,… http://dlvr.it/TRc70v LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Mystfall – Embers of a Dying World Review: Once again, I return to my roots. That opulent, gem-encrusted egg from which my metalhead nascency spawned, symphonic power metal. Cloaked in velvet drapery as I return to these cobbled alleys I used to haunt, those early years steeping in Nightwish, Leaves’ Eyes, Epica, and Xandria wash over me, evoking a nostalgic bliss. Enter Greece’s Mystfall and their… http://dlvr.it/TRbrH8 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Unverkalt – Héréditaire Review: Reviewing albums explicitly labelled post-metal always seems to bring out my inner pedant. I know all genre labels are kind of meaningless, but post-metal specifically seems to simply be slapped onto anything with fewer riffs than your average atmo-black record, but a lot more cleans. Nonetheless, you know what it sounds like, in essence. If that essence had form, it… http://dlvr.it/TRbJMR LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Hanging Garden – Isle of Bliss Review: For nearly twenty years, Hanging Garden have quietly dabbled in the same sort of melodic melancholy as their more well-known counterparts, Katatonia, Insomnium, and Swallow the Sun. I first wandered into their brand of gothic sadboi melodoom with 2021’s Skeleton Lake, thanks to Steel’s glowing writeup. While I’ve enjoyed what I’ve heard from them since, what… http://dlvr.it/TRb2Nd LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Gutvoid – Liminal Shrines Review: Canadian death metal remains one of the country’s most dependable exports. Our neighbors to the North must put something in the water because high-caliber extremity seems to ooze from the trees like maple syrup. The next such group vying for international market share is Toronto-based quintet Gutvoid. Their debut, Durance of Lightless Horizons, contained flashes of… http://dlvr.it/TRZnpk LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal
