Samuel Péquignot This wonderful album released at the end of last year never ceases to fascinate me... The piano, the voice, the songwriting and the arrangements give this darkness a universality of great beauty. All Baudelairean minds who are not afraid to come out of their social armor will be touched by her (very) inspired and delicate spleen. The term masterpiece is often overused but is quite appropriate here. Favorite track: The Devil's Voice.

Joe Farrell "The Fold" is a masterpiece. Antinoë summons more atmosphere and more emotion with little more than her piano and her richly layered vocals than most songwriters can dream of even with a much larger arsenal. It is darkly beautiful, and wonderfully immersive. Dozens of listens have done nothing to dim its luster. It is my favorite release of 2025. Not to be missed. Favorite track: The Devil's Voice.

meterfeldweg that's not a fold, it's the nut flush on the river!

coagulacascadia A real rump ripper. Favorite track: Corrupting Divinity.

skroll Powerful debut from this absolutely crushing death metal project. They inject just the right amount of hardcore without losing any of the brutality. This one came out of nowhere, do not skip it. Favorite track: Corrupting Divinity.

Veganarchist this is so fucking good, great new band (ok, maybe not so new, since they formed 2022) and release. Favorite track: Man is Overrated.

Todd Gack The return of Philly’s finest, meaning the finest beatdown there is. Eat scrapple.

Please make a discography CD. Favorite track: THE DAY GOD LOOKED AWAY.
