I haven’t been this excited about a doom album since I first discovered Kuolemanlaakso.

I had high hopes for Rue Brizeux after enjoying Ofelia’s previous EP and they did not disappoint. This stunning indie-folk band is going places, and it’s a pleasure to bear witness to it.
Manes – Slow Motion Death Sequence
Track to check out: Scion

Manes have done it again! I’m never quite sure what to expect when they bring out something new, but Slow Motion Death Sequence is one of their best albums yet!
Dave’s Picks
Helix – Twin
Track to check out: Live In My Heart
Our review: https://www.soundscapemagazine.com/helix-twin-review/

Tom Shear and Mari Kattman are a killer duo who slay any misgivings about musique electronique on this mighty album called Twin.
Foredoomed – Ordeal
Track to check out: My Epitaph In Woe

This is a fantastic debut in the vein of Equilibrium that doesn’t stop short on dynamic movements intertwined with amazing riffs.
