 Omens is the acme, the peak of this evolution, and it’s the masterpiece of a very solid discography.

 For me the best of the bunch... all splendid, for what is my album of the year 2020.

Elder's fifth album Omens marks a peak in their evolution by blending stoner rock with rich progressive elements. The five lengthy tracks showcase powerful guitar work and cosmic themes. Nick DiSalvo's vocals are praised for fitting the style perfectly. The album is celebrated as a masterpiece and the reviewer's top album of 2020. Although their next release was less memorable, Omens remains a high point. Listen to Elder's Omens now and experience a thrilling journey through progressive stoner rock!

 In Supervision (almost) every track has its own soul, something that stands out, that leaves an impression.

 And for satisfactory work, the last track, Gullible Fool, would be enough; it starts off subdued, tinged with a melancholy akin to nostalgia, only to explode into a jubilation reminiscent of strolling along avenues on summer evenings.

La Roux's Supervision, released amid pandemic challenges, has faced criticism but impresses with soulful and joyful synth-pop. Despite only eight tracks, each offers distinct qualities. The album reflects Elly Jackson's solo artistry after her partner's departure. Standout track 'Gullible Fool' encapsulates the album's nostalgic yet uplifting vibe. Listen to La Roux’s Supervision and rediscover joyful, soulful synth-pop that defies expectations.

 Heroin Man is the undisputed masterpiece of the Texans Cherubs.

 A kick in the balls, a chocolate with worms, a pig shit stepped on with shoes endorsed by Winona Ryder.

Heroin Man by Cherubs is celebrated as a definitive noise rock album emblematic of existential pain and sonic aggression. The review highlights its raw emotional depth, chaotic energy, and standout tracks like 'Dave of the Moon.' Praised for its abrasive guitar work and intense delivery, the album is deemed essential listening from the 1990s noise rock scene. Explore Cherubs' Heroin Man now—experience a powerful blast of raw 90s noise rock!

 Few are the opportunities for headbanging; The Dying Truth stabs, depresses, every time you recover, a damned snare hit kicks you back on the canvas.

 An album that eats your soul, there is no light at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel goes on endlessly, narrow and dark...

The Dying Truth by Cianide is a compelling and brutal death metal album that stands out for its intense, uncompromising sound. Featuring slow, suffocating riffs with doom influences, it delivers a relentless experience. Key tracks like 'Scourging at the Pillar' and 'Funeral' highlight the album's caustic and vitriolic energy. Far from background music, it deeply impacts the listener and leaves a lasting impression. Dive into the crushing intensity of Cianide's The Dying Truth—listen now and experience extreme death metal like never before!

 An album that verges on the philosophical and talks about a higher version of oneself attainable through the elusive imaginal disc.

 It is my belief that music should not be explained, but listened to; offer a tip, a pointer, and then see what happens...

Magdalena Bay's 'Imaginal Disk' showcases the duo's artistic growth, moving beyond catchy synth-pop into richer, layered, and experimental sounds. The album explores philosophical themes and diverse musical styles, ranging from psychedelia to Generation Z-inspired experimentation. While slightly lengthy, it offers a compelling experience highly praised by the reviewer. The album is regarded as a top contender for album of the year. Listen to Magdalena Bay's 'Imaginal Disk' now and explore their latest sonic evolution!
