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.

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

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.

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
