Back from their hiatus, Sylosis absolutely are not fucking about with Cycle Of Suffering. Quite possibly their best album to date.

It seems that finally, FINALLY, Sepultura have graduated from the great spirit of the Cavalera brothers and have come into their own. Quadra is a new generation of Seps that is fresh and exciting.
On Thorns I Lay – Threnos
Track to check out: Ouranio Deos
Our review: https://www.soundscapemagazine.com/on-thorns-i-lay-threnos-review/
Purchase Link: https://onthornsilaylfr.bandcamp.com/album/threnos
Threnos is a special kind of Goth Metal. One that originated in the 90’s with bands like The Sins Of thy Beloved, The Gathering and Paradise Lost. The kind of Goth metal that started off as Death Metal until the band found out about Mortician. Although they try to keep the philosophy alive Mortician downtuned them out of the sonisphere where they continue to make ethereal death music a.k.a Goth.
EKORS – Dead Trees
Track to check out: Broceliande
