Something weird is coming. Can you feel it? Devin Townsend has released so much wild and varied music over the last three decades that it would be easy to miss the gradual build-up to whatever his next musical project is going to be. Since releasing the bewildering colossus of "Empath" in 2019, the...

Shining

Even for a band as fundamentally melancholy as SWALLOW THE SUN, the last decade has been a particularly daunting challenge.

Where Gods Fear To Speak

There really is no pleasing some people. When OCEANS OF SLUMBER released their fifth album "Starlight and Ash" in 2022, they took a bold and utterly convincing stride into new territory, receiving widespread plaudits and praise as a result.
