Eldermoon – Egregora Review

“One of the best ways for an unknown band to pique a potential listener’s interest is to promise an immersive story. Eldermoon, a fiery new band from Curitiba, Brazil, attempts this tactic with debut album Egregora. The narrative is told by an omniscient entity called the Moon who watches the various stages of human existence—encapsulated in each of the 10 tracks—without interference or judgment. The band was even committed enough to write detailed track-by-track summaries of each chapter as part of the promo materials. However, any album that tells a story must also offer quality music if it wants repeat listens” Moon landing or Moon fall?

Weltenbrandt – Transzendenz Schatten Romantik Review

“I eagerly tore open my very first promo, which informed me of several guest vocalist appearances from bands like Harakiri for the Sky and Ellende (among others). While I went in with few expectations for Weltenbrandt, they were slightly raised by virtue of association with such heavy hitters in the genre. Can Weltenbrandt reach the same level of quality and—perhaps more importantly—differentiate themselves from their peers?” Welts, brands, and expectations.
