“Eva Can’t is ready for a musical expedition. A global, transoceanic expedition, judging by the promo sheet which says that Emisferi is “imagined as a journey from pole to pole on an uninhabited planet.” Accordingly, the album title translates to “hemispheres” from Italian and is organized into four trios of songs called Ghiacci Boreali (Northern Ice), Mari Boreali (Northern Seas), Mari Australi (Southern Seas) and Ghiacci Australi (Southern Ice). To navigate such an ambitious concept this time around, they must be adventurous enough to explore new waters yet focused enough to avoid drifting aimlessly.” Pole dancing.

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.
