My Dying Bride is just as daft, fang-dripped, and miserable as ever, despite the slight/slate electronic flourishes and Aaron’s point-blank confessionals.
Pure delight for fans of progressive metal. Memory Garden are a Swedish phenom who mix their convolution with a detectable trace of doom via Memento Mori.
Everything about this band, from their face paint schtick to their atonal-but-still-singable guitar licks, hold a sense of originality that escapes most bands.
