'The instrumental trio would've fit in excellently on the Hydra Head roster, or—closer to home—that of Radar Swarm: think lightly mathy, a little noisy, somewhat droning and exploratory, but mostly churning rhythms and sinewy dissonant accents. Dense yet dry production achieves the perfect balance between the three instruments—bass handles just as much of the driving as guitar, and both are locked right in against the percussion, so everything sounds fantastic. I've seen their work referred to as "post-metal," but I wouldn't go there. It's a take that's heavy and familiar, but simply can't be pigeonholed.' aversiononline (www.aversionline.com/view/random-roundup-october-2022)

'Not to be eclipsed by Russian Circles - Gnosis, Vienna, Austria’s age of strange cults could very well be the barbarian cousin Russian Circles didn’t know existed. It’s a Mean Man’s Dream for a meaner, more unstable world. Not as concerned with high stakes musical proficiency as Chi-town’s instrumental act but working as a rhythmic bludgeon. A sonic battering ram.' Rennie Resmini (starkweather666band.substack.com/p/3rd-quarter)

After years of playing in different bands and projects, three longtime friends from Vienna, Austria got together again to create heavy music. They recorded their first EP in spring 2022 at Elephant West Studio. Consisting of 4 songs they take all their collective influences to create something unique and new, firmly rooted in post-metal but venturing in noise rock and other genres as well.

The EP is released together with Zirkon (@zirkonmusic) and Toothgnasher Records (@toothgnasher_rec).

Her True Nature
by The Nest

supported by 8 fans who also own “◐”

An excellent album and live performance from this psychedelic collective. Musically and in spirit, they follow the same path as the Psychedelic Black Metal/Ambient style of 'Wolvennest,' adding prestigious underground guests from the occult doom and black metal scene. They manage to create a unique trance and ritual. Highly recommended for fans of 'Wolvennest' and followers of 'Van Records. chinaski_yandel
