Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/novarupta-astral-sands-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Novarupta – Astral Sands Review</a></p><p><i>By Carcharodon</i></p><p><strong>Novarupta</strong>’s <em>Astral Sands</em> is the fourth and final part of a tetralogy based on the elements fire, water, air, and earth. Covering the ‘earth’ part of that equation, <em>Astral Sands</em> follows ‘air,’ which came in the form of 2022’s <em>Carrion Movements</em>. A departure from previous outings, that album was an instrumental piece, comprising just two sprawling compositions but was executed so well that I couldn’t help but award it a 4.0. <em>Astral Sands</em> sees <strong>Novarupta</strong> not only reintroduce the vocals but return to the model seen on the series’ first two installments, <em>Disillusioned Fire</em> and <em>Marine Snow</em>, respectively, working with a different vocalist for each track on the album. Despite this choice having the potential to sap cohesion, to date <strong>Novarupta</strong> has somehow made it work. Can the band see out its ambitious series on a high?</p><p>Compared to the ethereal grandeur and restraint of <em>Carrion Movements</em>, there is an instant sense of presence and immediacy to <em>Astral Sands</em> from the off, even on instrumental intro “Ensamstående: Enastående.” The whole record combines a heavily distorted sound, that borders on sludge in the atmosphere it generates, without actually delivering sludge in the music (opening of “Seven Collides” or the back half of “Terraforming Celestial Bodies,” for example). In that sense, there’s something of <strong>Bossk</strong>’s <em>Migration</em> about it. Paired with upbeat drumming that borders on d-beat in places (closer “Now We are Here (at the Inevitable End)” or “The Clay Keeps”), <strong>Novarupta</strong> has a propulsive energy throughout that is at odds with much of their previous output, which is often ponderous and slow build. Even as <strong>Novarupta</strong> descend into morose trad doom a la <strong>Tiamat</strong> (“Breathe Breathe,” with vocals from Patrik Wirén of <strong>Misery Loves Co.</strong>) there’s a shimmering lightness to the guitars, enhanced by the synths, which slide from left to right and back again in the mix, that keeps the whole surprisingly vibrant.</p><p></p><p>Inevitably, with an album that changes vocalist on eight of its nine tracks (with one instrumental number), your enjoyment of <em>Astral Sands</em> will vary somewhat track by track, according to whose voice you like best. The indisputable highlight of the piece—at least for me and it’s my review, so it’s indisputable for present purposes—is closer, “Now We are Here (at the Inevitable End),” which finds Martin Wegeland of <strong>Domkraft</strong> on mic duties. Initially airy, vulnerable, and breathy in his delivery, by the end of the track and, therefore, the album, Wegeland hits the sort of manic intensity and urgency that I look for in the likes of <strong>Julie Christmas</strong>. Other standouts include the almost poppy “Endless Joy” and “Terraforming Celestial Bodies,” with the latter (featuring <strong>Greanleaf</strong>’s Arvid Hällagård on vox) nodding towards <strong>The Cure</strong>.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/novarupta-astral-sands-review/#fn-212289-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a></p><p></p><p>Throughout the shifts in pacing and mood on <em>Astral Sands</em>, driven principally by the ever-changing vocal line-up, there’s a consistency in the sound, which knits together <strong>Novarupta</strong>’s songwriting. Whether it’s the lush post-metal guitars and bass groove (“Cosmographia”), or the spangly, fizzing synths, there’s a through line to the record that holds it together. It also helps that the various singers adopt a broadly comparable approach, with no harsh vocals on show and most taking a slightly distant, almost 80s-synthwave approach to their delivery. The production throughout, presumably to deliver that earthy feel, leans heavily into fuzz and distortion at the front of the soundstage, even though there’s an almost crystalline quality to some of the soundscapes and melodies behind that.</p><p>To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from <em>Astral Sands</em>. I had been tipped off in advance that the vocals were back but had resolutely resisted listening to the singles. And I’ll admit I was nervous. While I enjoyed <em>Marine Snow</em>, for me the highlight of <strong>Novarupta</strong>’s catalogue was <em>Carrion Movements</em>, where the abandonment of ever-shifting vocalists allowed mainmen Alex Stjernfeldt and Arjen Kunnen to focus on their compositions, which were huge in scope and delicately executed. On <em>Astral Sands</em>, the pair have reverted to their previous model, while learning from what they delivered on <em>Carrion Movements</em>. Although the album is structured as nine tracks, there is flow and a sense of grandeur to it, which builds on <em>Carrion Movements</em>. Even the bookending of the album, with reflected similarities between the start of sonorous opener “Ensamstående: Enastående” and more intense closer “Now We are Here (at the Inevitable End),” highlights this. More than a worthy closing movement in <strong>Novarupta</strong>’s tetralogy, <em>Astral Sands</em> is the pick of the series.</p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 4.0/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 6 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kb/s mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://www.suiciderecords.se/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Suicide Records</a><br><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="http://facebook.com/novaruptaband" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/novaruptaband</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> February 14th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/40/" target="_blank">#40</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/alternative-metal/" target="_blank">#AlternativeMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/ambient-metal/" target="_blank">#AmbientMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/astral-sands/" target="_blank">#AstralSands</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/bossk/" target="_blank">#Bossk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/domkraft/" target="_blank">#Domkraft</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/feb25/" target="_blank">#Feb25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/geenleaf/" target="_blank">#Geenleaf</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/julie-christmas/" target="_blank">#JulieChristmas</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/misery-loves-co/" target="_blank">#MiseryLovesCo_</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/novarupta/" target="_blank">#Novarupta</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/post-metal/" target="_blank">#PostMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/suicide-records/" target="_blank">#SuicideRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/swedish-metal/" target="_blank">#SwedishMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/the-cure/" target="_blank">#TheCure</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/tiamat/" target="_blank">#Tiamat</a></p>
Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/alkymist-unnderr-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Alkymist – UnnDerr Review</a></p><p><i>By Steel Druhm</i></p><p>What kind of an album title is <em>UnnDerr</em>? A weird one to be sure and maybe not the best for marketing purposes. The oddballs in Danish doom/sludge/prog project <strong>Alkymist</strong> may not care about such trivial capitalistic concerns as they attempt to refine and retool their heady blend of genres. Back in the Age of the Great Plague, we reviewed their sophomore outing <em>Sanctuary</em> and the dearly sabbaticaled <span><strong>Akerblogger</strong></span> had many good things to say about their balance of extremity and progressive wanderings. 2024 finds them back with a more streamlined approach accentuating the brutality while stepping back from the more esoteric angles. <em>Unnderr</em> is a raw, ugly beast mixing sludge intensity with doomy plods and harsh vocals to disorient and destroy the senses. If you can imagine <strong>Celtic Frost</strong>, <strong>Crowbar</strong> and <strong>Tiamat</strong> collaborating, this might be what you’d get. If that doesn’t get your unnderroos in a bunch, you live unnderr a very big rock.</p><p>Coming in with no prior experience with <strong>Alkymist</strong> beyond reading <span><strong>Akerblogger</strong></span>‘s review, I was immediately captivated by on opening track “The Scent.” The massive guitar tone is fucking great and the vocals heaving from a deathly bellow to blackened rasps and eerie spoken word feel evil as fook. The song is legitimately crushing but there’s just enough progressive flair to keep things interesting. It’s a great song and you know it on the first spin. That guitar tone could strip paint and it packs a vintage <strong>Celtic Frost</strong> punch I’m crazy about. “Digging the Grave” keeps the success rolling with a healthy dose of <strong>Tiamat</strong> and <strong>Another Messiah</strong> influences creeping into the riff-forward smash and smoosh. <strong>Alkymist </strong>batter you with simplistic but captivating riffs that weigh a cosmic ass-ton, but they’re careful to weave in atmosphere and mystery to round out the experience. Even the 10 minutes of the title track keep you locked in and along the way, you’ll encounter truly ginormous, gobsmacking riffs and <strong>The Fields of Nephilim</strong>-esque Gothic atmosphere even as death roars and evil cackles slime you with ectogoo. Could it be a few minutes shorter? Of course, but it doesn’t drag or bog down and it’s a winning combination of disparate styles.</p><p>“Light of the Lost Star” goes further down the Goth rabbit hole, with bits of <strong>The Cure</strong>-style guitar noodling mixed into an otherwise unstoppable world plow of a sludge doom beatdown. There’s even a trace of <strong>Black Royal</strong> in the riffwork to help you hail yourself. Large-scale closer “Master of Disguise” brings back the <strong>Fields of Nephilim</strong> atmospherics as a screen to hide the inevitable riff slaughter by the <strong>Celtic Frost</strong>ed Flakes-encrusted death hammer. regrettably, there are some lesser moments mixed into the winning. “Fire in My Eyes” feels a bit underwhelming with the newly stripped-back approach going too far, making the song feel one-note and flat. Likewise, “My Sick Part” suffers similar maladies but less severely due to its short length. As far as the production goes, it’s really all about that fucking guitar tone. Serve that sound to me on nachos, tacos, pizza, and even my beloved breakfast bowl of Ape Nuts. I can’t get enough of that crunching, distorted war force.</p><p></p><p>Did I mention that killer guitar tone and the cavalcade of monster riffs? These come courtesy of Stefan Krey. Despite a painful recovery from a broken hand, he churns out a horde of memorable leads that will peel the enamel off your teeth and make your neighbor’s cat develop a hunger for human spleen. He’s the star of the show and his maniacal riff-bends are more inevitable than Thanos with 2 Mittens of Destiny. His forays into sullen Goth rock territory only make the punishing riffs more awe-inspiring when they hit. Beauty and the beast in six-string form, people! Major props also go to Peter Jørgensen for a wide-ranging and highly effective vocal tour-de-force. Whether he’s muttering like a deranged serial killer or roaring like a demon from the 38th Circle of Hell, the man possesses the Kavorka! His offbeat delivery adds intrigue and danger to the material while imbuing it with a unique character.</p><p><strong>Alkymist</strong> evolved their sound from <em>Sanctuary</em>, and some of the material here would have benefitted from their former proggy tilt, but what remains is brutally addictive and unrelentingly oppressive in the best of ways. I’m highly impressed by this little band of Great Danes. You should blast this at unreasonable volumes and then dive unnderr their back catalog. You will not be unnderrwhelmed. No, I won’t stop it!</p><p></p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 3.5/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 6 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kbps mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://indisciplinarian.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Indisciplinarian Records</a><br><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/alkymist/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/alkymist</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> November 15th, 2024</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2024/" target="_blank">#2024</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/35/" target="_blank">#35</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/alkymist/" target="_blank">#Alkymist</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/another-messiah/" target="_blank">#AnotherMessiah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/celtic-frost/" target="_blank">#CelticFrost</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/crowbar/" target="_blank">#Crowbar</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/danish-metal/" target="_blank">#DanishMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/doom-metal/" target="_blank">#DoomMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/indisciplinarian-records/" target="_blank">#IndisciplinarianRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/nov24/" target="_blank">#Nov24</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/tiamat/" target="_blank">#Tiamat</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/unnderr/" target="_blank">#UnnDerr</a></p>

Angry Metal Guy<p><strong><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/glare-of-the-sun-tal-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Glare of the Sun – TAL Review</a></strong></p><p><i>By Carcharodon</i></p><p>We’ve had a long wait for the follow-up to <strong>Glare of the Sun</strong>’s 2019 sophomore album, <em>Theia</em>. That was a record I liked quite a bit, giving it a place on my first year-end list here at AMG Industries. I admit that I thought, even then, that it was slightly overrated in <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/glare-of-the-sun-theia-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">our review</a>. I will also admit that I can’t remember when I last listened to <em>Theia</em> until revisiting it as a precursor to diving into its successor, <em>TAL</em><em>.</em> It probably wouldn’t get the same list spot today. However, upon revisiting, it is, as I remembered, a densely layered and starkly beautiful slab of progressive doom, dabbling also in the post-metal realms. Does <em>TAL</em> match the highlights of its predecessor or is it left in the shadows?</p><p>From the outset, <em>TAL</em> feels like <em>Theia</em> with all the dials turned up to 11. Where <em>Theia</em> dealt in shades, shifting slowly between huge doom riffs, post-metal melodic, and more, bridging the gap between mid-career <strong>Katatonia</strong> and <strong>Ghost Brigade</strong>, <em>TAL</em> is a more in-your-face affair. That’s not to suggest that <strong>Glare of the Sun</strong> has fundamentally changed its sound but <em>TAL</em> is packed with more immediacy and energy. Delicate instrumental passages remain (the first third of “Amnesty,” for example) but there is more purpose and endeavor to them. It feels like they are guiding you, rather than wandering and searching. There is also a much greater sense of grandeur at play on <em>TAL</em>. It just feels massive, with the heavy, progressive doom riffs still in play. However, they now carry a slightly more abrasive post-hardcore, <strong>Cult of Luna</strong>-adjacent vibe like the opener “Colossus.” In contrast, other parts border on a grand symphonic feel (the rest of “Amnesty”). The other thing coming through, particularly in the deep, sustained clean vocals on the likes of “Leaving towards Spring” and “Rain” is a strong <em>Prey</em>-era <strong>Tiamat</strong> feel. This balances some of the album’s mountainous heaviness with a much more introspective silkiness.</p><p></p><p><strong>Glare of the Sun</strong> combines the elements of their sound to great effect on <em>TAL</em>. The back-to-back pairing of “Äon” and “Relikt” exemplifies this, with the former feeling like <strong>Clouds</strong> meets <strong>Slow</strong>, while the latter is a masterclass in progressive doom, tinged with that <strong>Ghost Brigade</strong> sense of despair. “Stonefall” could easily have been penned by <strong>Cult of Luna</strong> for <em>Somewhere along the Highway</em>, its textures and builds feeling both nuanced and cathartic. What the album does so well is to shift between these influences and genres, while retaining a sense of cohesion. Although closely related, these genres all have their trademarks and tells, which are not easy to mesh, without sacrificing an album’s flow. <strong>Glare of the Sun</strong>’s five-year absence has led to an album that feels much more confident in its writing, with both “Rain” and “Äon” vying for a place on a songs of the year playlist.</p><p></p><p>That said, perhaps managing that creative flow led to <em>TAL</em> being longer than it should be. Clocking in just shy of an hour, there is a lot to digest here and, because of its intensity, it feels more tiring to listen to in a single sitting than <em>Theia</em>, despite being slightly shorter. The vinyl version, which won’t include the final two tracks appearing on the CD/digital version, would be almost a quarter of an hour shorter, and much tighter for it. However, you lose the excellent “Horizon,” with “Amnesty” an anticlimactic replacement to close the record. The other track missing from the vinyl, “Storm of Light,” is less of a loss. It’s solid enough but forgettable, not matching the aggression or the subtle melodics of the rest of the material on <em>TAL</em>. Similarly, while “Leaving towards Spring” does nothing wrong, it fails to match the power of “Colossus” or the beauty of “Rain.” <em>TAL</em>’s production is very good, with an airy, balanced mix that gives prominence to Christoph Stopper’s very good vocals (both harsh and clean), without allowing them to eclipse the rest of the band.</p><p>I’m very pleased to see <strong>Glare of the Sun</strong> back and they’ve grown in confidence as songwriters during their absence. The immediacy <em>TAL</em> serves up, in contrast to <em>Theia</em>, is fantastic but it needed to be matched by just a bit more restraint. Cutting the likes of “Storm of Light” and shaving off a few more minutes here and there would have given the record as a whole the same directness and intensity as the individual tracks.

Artemis<p>Tiamat's coming together. Got the wings done, got the scales done. Next I think is putting a black wash on. After that we'll see what extra details need to be done. Then I'll probably put on the topcoat and then move to working on the base.<br>37.5 hours in <br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MiniPainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MiniPainting</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DnD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DnD</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Tiamat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tiamat</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/minis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>minis</span></a></p>

Notice the heads on the table have a good bit of detail and a few are nearly finished.<br>Also, goddamn this gal is sharp. I've got to pick it up and flip it around to paint in all the crevasses, and whooo boy there is no safe way to hold it without mainly holding spikes (can't hold it by the base cause it's just struck on with modeling clay. If it falls off the base while I'm holding it, smash)<br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MiniPainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MiniPainting</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DnD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DnD</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RPG</span></a></p>

Marcin „czach” Trzaska<p>Kilka dni temu zauważyłem, że nigdy nie słuchałem płyty _ Amanethes_ Tiamatu. Nie ma jej w streamingu ( Music, Spotify). Jest na YT, ale to nie to samo. <br>Zdobyłem więc CD.
