To the best of my belief, it has seemed a tumultuous few years for Frau Fleischer, with the line-up change, pandemic, the release of their debut album, and the like. “When the Sun’s Down” was released on November 23, 2021, via Sliptrick Records, and here I found myself reviewing the […]
‘Átfordul – Live at Bükk‘ marks the return of Hungarian post-rock trio Tӧrzs, presenting their first material since they introduced themselves to the world in grand fashion with 2019’s majestic audio/visual experience “Tükӧr”.

There is no surprise that Asia is one of the most innovative continents related to, well, everything. Their culture and way of perception have become present in the extreme metal genre, too. From shoegaze, post-black, and blackgaze to symphonic elements or D’n’B, they all have been inserted by Asian artists […]
There is no doubt that in the past years, electronic musicians have invested a great deal of energy into exploring lesser-known sub-genres and put them once on the table in contemporary ways. ULTRA SUNN is amazingly doing so. The coldwave/EBM duo was formed in 2019 in Brussels by Sam Huge […]
