Somehow The Cult Of One snuck past me last year like a thief in the night, leaving me none the wiser that it even existed. It wasn’t until the debut album Monomaniac got the vinyl treatment courtesy of Éttu Skýt Records that it hit my radar. Given that this is the solo project of Singapore […]

Chaucerian Myth – “Troilus And Criseyde” / “Sir Orfeo” Cassette Box Set (2024)
Once again I find myself drawn to the music of Chaucerian Myth.

Kiasmos – “II” (2024)

Driving, weighty riffs combine with active, rich basslines and deft drumming to propel songs forward, at times […]
