Highly anticipated as the successor to Northern Light. While not produced by Rammstein producer Jacob Hellner, it shows a return to the roots of their sound.
While Avatar may not satisfy the hard psych freaks who worship earlier records, there’s room for both sides of the band’s personality in my collection.
This collection of jangly holler-pop feels at times like a sort of a Weight-Watchers version of Smashing Pumpkins: Intensity minus the some of the depth.

Ultra heavy extreme metal that grabs from a bag of styles including death, thrash, and black metal. They’re French, and they have a thing for H.P. Lovecraft.

They know when to shout to the sky, when to hold back and build pressure, and when to go for the throat. Even when going full-out, there’s never any melodrama.
