ALBUM REVIEW: Siyah Tavsan – Metropolites

Averse to the stereotypical tropes of progressive music, Istanbul-hailed Siyah Tavsan delivers instead a succinct and fresh outlook of how they visualise progressive music to be. While fans of Western post-punk and progressive rock will find familiar elements, ‘Metropolites’ offers a distinct lens of where Turkish underground music is headed – globally aware, genre-fluid, and emotionally fearless, this is a voice speaking from the overlooked alleys of Istanbul, but resonating far beyond.

ALBUM REVIEW: Superheaven – Superheaven

Following the broad cultural nostalgia for all things 90s, it isn’t surprising that grungy, showgazy alt-rock is making a comeback. One of the earliest pioneers of this niche is Superheaven. Reuniting after a six-year hiatus in 2022, they’re releasing their first full-length in a decade – 'Superheaven'.

ALBUM REVIEW: Ghost – Skeletá

'Skeletá' continues off the sounds established by past albums while also revisiting some past eras, with this new effort once again proving that, in spite of the haters, Ghost are here to stay, and will only get bigger.

ALBUM REVIEW: Deafheaven – Lonely People with Power

After the polarising brightness of their last project, Deafheaven’s sixth album sees the California post-metal collective return to the volatile, skyward force that first defined them – yet this is no simple reversion. ‘Lonely People with Power’ reclaims their foundational sound with ferocity, while hinting at sonic futures still ahead.

ALBUM REVIEW: Pop Evil – What Remains

Some bands mellow with age. Pop Evil, on the other hand, have gone the other way - getting noisier, heavier, and more unrelenting with each passing album. 'What Remains', their eighth full-length release, is the culmination of that journey. This isn’t just another Pop Evil record; this is the sound of a band snapping off the handbrake, baring their scars, and smacking harder than ever before.
