2021-06-05 19:42:01 Psychedelic, crushing and truly captivating.
- 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒔 𝑵𝒐𝒊𝒔𝒆

This is a split ep between post-metal bands Psychonaut from Belgium and Sâver from Norway and each band is just doing one long song. Psychonaut start the split with the 16-minute The Great Realisation. Throughout the song a variety of moods, paces, and sounds can be heard, made by a range of different influences, styles, and instruments. Psychonaut clearly know what they are doing with their material, and The Great Realisation is a very enjoyable and satisfying work.

2021-06-02 19:42:33 An absolute masterwork.
- 𝑁𝑜𝑜𝑏 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑣𝑦

One of the best pieces of music you'll hear all year.
- 𝑀𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐵𝑖𝑡𝑒

Combining disparate influences of Opethian folk, grunge, desert rock, and borderline dissonant black metal into a highly dynamic and razor sharp stream-of-consciousness journey, Stone Healer has created something delightfully fresh and enjoyable.

2021-05-30 19:42:02 Artificial Silence - Innocent Open / Comment

2021-05-30 19:42:02 Colorful, graceful and truly beautiful.
The music here has been labeled as prog metal in some places, and prog rock in others. The band really does ride the line between the two. Also they use cello, flute, synth, orchestration, and horns to massively successfully effect. They truly has the hovering classical grace of the Moody Blues, while also laying down some great riffs, bluesy musings, and winding instrumental passages. The vocals, too, are gentle and melodious. “Negative Space” is a rich and illustrious experience that you shouldn’t miss.
9/10
