There’s a certain kind of beauty that only reveals itself when everything around it is falling apart, and Laursetine, from So Hideous, thrives within that chaos. This is not an album for casual listening, it’s a descent into a meticulously arranged storm. Every track bleeds cinematic grandeur, yet the emotional core is raw enough to leave you scraped and exposed.

With their trademark French flair twisted by a dark, cinematic undercurrent, Maudits deliver another release that's refined yet delightfully unsettling.

Turn Loose the Swans remains a dark, gothic triumph and a work of beauty that refuses to fade. Cold, romantic, and utterly captivating,

Fast forward more than five years later and I believe the post-music world has finally been rewarded with the album it’s been a long-time yearning for. What is beautiful about A Single Flower is that rather than trying to surpass Departure Songs, it’s been written to compliment it. It’s that quieter, contemplative brother that speaks volumes in whispers, but who’s message is quietly devastating. For me, A Single Flower is already a masterpiece.

SPERAMVS MELIORA || RESVRGET CINERIBVS is heaviness with purpose. It’s vast, overwhelming, and emotionally harrowing at times. Drawing from the sprawling bleakness of Tunnel Blanket-era This Will Destroy You, Through A Glass Darkly shape their sound into something both punishing and transcendent

Can’t Even Smile Today marks Suicidal Tendencies’ explosive transformation from skate-punk misfits to full-throttle thrashers. This album is a razor-edged blend of aggression, melody, and introspection and literally a tightrope walk between fury and despair. Mike Muir’s vocals are raw and confrontational as he wrestles with alienation, betrayal, and self-doubt. His delivery swings from manic rants to almost pleading vulnerability, embodying the title’s tortured question.

Across Silent Tower, Carved Into The Sun distills grief, beauty, and raw emotion into sound, reaffirming their rare talent for turning overwhelming feeling into music that lingers, resonates, and stays unforgettable.

Jakob’s Solace is many things, but to me its perfection. It's a towering example of how post-rock can be both completely immersive and devastatingly visceral. It’s a record that captures the vast emotional spectrum of the post- genre with rare precision. Released in 2006, it remains a benchmark for instrumental music and is an album that conjures up expansive sonic landscapes while never losing its human core.

Plat de resistance was born out of unrest and is a brooding reflection of a world teetering on the brink, where war is no longer an abstract backdrop but an altogether harrowing reality.  With such a heavy theme, 18 Seconds tighten their grip on atmosphere and weight, weaving dense, ominous textures that echo the urgency of change and the defiance of resistance

From Etne to the Edge of Space is the title of the new album and in simple terms it’s a slow-burn odyssey through the cosmos, high on space and yet still remaining intimate, nostalgic and fresh

Serenades proved that heaviness could coexist with vulnerability, and that sorrow could be sculpted into something uniquely comforting. Thirty-two years later, the album remains a testament to the enduring power of melody in extreme music

Album: Nevermore Released: March 2025 Nevermore is the debut album from Dutch instrumental post-metal outfit Blossom & Wither and to...

With Rhyfelwyr, Adfeilion manage to fuse the weight of modern metal with the spirit of their Celtic heritage, producing an album that is both musically rigorous and culturally resonant

Reverie rewards repeat listens, each unveiling new details in its layered construction. It remains one of the standout European post-rock releases of its decade and beyond. It’s ambitious in scope, meticulous in execution, and emotionally resonant throughout

With Iridescent, Mountainscape have leveled up yet again. Iridescent is an album that balances scales and emotion, where atmosphere doesn’t soften the blows but makes them land harder. The band prove that instrumental metal just needs a vision, and in that respect, they’ve delivered it in spades

This two-track EP unfolds like a dialogue of opposing forces, each piece a vast, immersive soundscape that rises and shifts with the weight of nature’s ferocious elements. TRNA embraces contrast in its purest form, letting sound move between turbulence and serenity until both emotions blur into something transcendent.

I’m delighted to see Greek post rockers we.own.the.sky back in the game with a brand-new single. With Eclipse, the guys mark their return with a carefully sculpted piece of post-rock that feels both fresh and intense, and massively immersive!

Musically, King Nine is a hauntingly sentimental record that unfolds like a slow-burning film. Every track is awash in brooding pianos, soft, swelling guitars, and delicate electronics that intertwine to create a sense of desolation and fragile beauty

Overhead, The Albatross have created a record that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. I leave You this is a reminder that music can be more than just background noise, it can be a memory, a tribute, and ultimately a way of healing

Astralia’s Solstice is an exercise in perfectly balancing patience with vast open atmospherics. It’s a record that draws its strength from the spaces it leaves unfilled as much as it does from the broad sound it crafts
