Mortal is a kaleidoscope of raw energy in its purest form, adorned with visceral lamentations, and this great oceanic tsunami of compelling and melodic wizardry. Mortal is an album that weighs heavy and heartbroken by its subject matter, but musically, it will elevate the listener with some of the finest death, doom and melodic metal you will hear for a long time to come.

LaVein have found their groove and have harnessed all the energy and discomfort that’s found in the hardcore scene and pebble dashed it with some penetrating metalcore nuances, giving them a bit of a USP that will see them get plenty of admirers in Ireland and further afield.

And just like one of nature’s great wonders, the aurora borealis, we end up with is a debut album that glows and metamorphosises into an array of shapes and colours, rebounding and resounding off invisible walls of textures and sounds.

Karpackonaut – Distant Sequence

Together since 2019 and hailing from Limerick, Karpackonaut have certainly stepped outside, and ticked the diversity box when it came to creating their own identity and signature sound. They play a style of music that’s snail-paced and ponderous at times, and which is weighed down by a psychedelic and stoner-cast anchor that’s hanging heavy around their necks. It’s sludgy, dirty and distorted and like any strong hallucinogen, it’s both addictive and compulsive.

Axis Primordial is a statement of intent. It’s a nine-track pilgrimage through blistering riffs and ferocious vocals. But it has something else, something that Nomadus have harnessed and expertly delivered on, and that’s diversity

God Alone – ETC

The dexterity they showed on their previous releases was like a warning shot fired high over Shandon Steeple. However, their latest album release, ETC, resembles a twenty-one-gun salute off the Old Head Of Kinsale! The echo from those rifles can be heard across the pond and beyond. So with that in mind, it’s about time we listen, embrace and bear witness to one of our finest underground bands break the mould.....when I say break, I mean shattering it to smithereens!

The melody is there throughout, with the bass guitar acting as the backbone, giving the music its distinctive and outlandish shape and structure! Jazz influences meander and wander through the music like a free-flowing jamming session, all improvised and shot from the hip

Drown In Ash is a bleak and beautiful passage of music, where the band stand as pallbearers, bringing you through that final journey, with all the dignity and respect that their music bestows. It’s desolate and it’s forlorn but beneath those darkened cloaks, there's an uplifting and monumental slab of metal to be discovered
