“Downtempo experimental electronic created with only guitars and zero effects of any kind”
Born in the fury of an Arizona monsoon, Slippery When Wet's Storm the Spectrum conjures downtempo experimental electronica using only guitars and zero effects — a genuinely mind-bending feat. Oskoreien's All Too Human follows, a black metal concept album meditating on free will and morality through Charles Whitman's tragic story — "unrelenting waves of guitars built around achingly beautiful melodies" that "never let you rest." Kill The Reverie's Rest for Reverence rounds things out with a haunting metalcore plea: "you cannot fight a war to acquiesce for peace."
