Thom Novi This record is verging on sacred. Something lives inside it. Favorite track: Pilots in The Night.

Dave Seidel A giant dreams in a cavern deep below an ancient forest. This is the sound her breath makes as it rises up through the trees. Favorite track: Intersecting Planes I.

magoski Back and forth
shadows,
crept — soft as ash.
before the eruption
The cables hum like veins remembering,
pain as a lullaby,
and pleasure as its echo.

Drill pressed hearts,
skin melted into static prayer.
beneath the ruins
fragile chords of maybe
could be
might be
and again.
Every note is a pulse,
every silence is a grave.

We are trapped in life,
but dreaming in reverse —
the bass a womb,
the echo our rebirth.

And through the noise,
the light still waits. Favorite track: Hold A Desert, Feel It's Hand.

Largey I often imagine this is the sound of prehistoric (more specifically, the late Triassic) dunes while I shift through rocks on lake Ontario. The haunting spirit of the prior extinction, a corrosive spectre fading into the earth of a new beginning. There's never been a body of work that captures such a lush dryness. This record saved me, in so many ways. Favorite track: Sang Their Way.

Mary On The Wall The debut album for my all time favorite artist

KensWorldRecords Good quality pressing. No surface noise what so ever. Only issue is the resealable outer sleeve they come in. Took 5 minutes to remove and impossible to put back on. The resealable sticker line on these sleeves are on the flap, yes the flap end. I would not care if it was not for the hype sticker in on these sleeves.

the metal psychotherapist Psychedelic-rock infused post-metal. Hypnotic, layers of sounds and emotions, complex and dense, surprising and familiar all at once. Favorite track: Threshold Of Transformation.

Eric McQueen The dynamic of this album is all that you can dream of. A gem among rocks. Favorite track: Hand Of The Host.

dlberes Maybe their most “beautiful” album? Dunno. It’s good tho Favorite track: Not In Rivers, But In Drops.

Marcin Wielewski TOOL'ish rythms played with more angry vocals. Favorite track: Dulcinea.

RIP PETROLGUZZLERMANE I had to force myself into listening to my playlists because this album is so good to listen to by itself.

Deidre House ISIS never put out an album that wasn't great, but this one is probably my favorite. Not by much, though. Favorite track: Dulcinea.
