1. Io Audio Recordings – Awaiting The Elliptical Drift (2022)

🇺🇸 The very first day of the year 2022 gave us fresh stream of waves emitted by Io Audio Recordings. This new portion is something worth awaiting. Hypnotic and ethereal, it touches your heart and finds a place to inhabit. Resonating with your own pulse, three compositions throw your mind to the mystic journey lasting for a dozen of minutes or for days and years, up to you. You don’t need any tools to join. Only your attentiveness and subconsciousness.

2. Worship – Many Masters (2022)

🇺🇸 Let’s push our amps, as Worship is coming. As always, these guys offer multi-tempo elixir for the headbangers. This time you get mostly medium-speed stuff with faster “Mercy” and slower parts which would naturally curl your hair. Nice illustration of hardcore, metal, and experiments going together in ergonomic synergy. Tough, thick and well done sound for anyone who starves for something really heavy and explicit.

3. Lamp Of The Universe – The Akashic Field (2022)

🇳🇿 Craig Williamson from New Zealand is back with the new view on the universe. Each next step unveils more and more of the wisdom and connectiveness. However, “The Akashic Field” shifts from Craig’s previously elaborated style. Here, we’ll have unexpected experience with arrangements and approaches, although the narrative and the manner to interact with the listener stays the same. It’s great when the art evolves but keeps being true to itself.

5. Kaivo – Floret (2022)

🇧🇾 Kaivo is a solo project by Evgeniy from Belarus, also managing Da Voile. “Floret” was born to the world in the middle of January. The atmosphere of the album is extraordinarily touching and resonating deeply in the heart. Quiet, minimalistic, ethereal. Soft keys and subtle effects, both merging the piano music and some kind of ambient. To me, “Drained” would у the best pick for the time we live in. Dramatic, lonely and still vivid, completely drained.

6. Lastryko – Sesje (2022)

🇵🇱 Polish band Lastryko continues its journey to the sonic worlds. The latest work is full of vast psychodelia, energetic vibrations and corridors of echoes. Pause the vanity, turn “Sesje” on and reveal inner peace. This session is a pure experience. We are steadily surfing along the timeline, catching abstract form which appear to be concrete and easily comprehensible. The complex things come in easiness sometimes. So no need to waste your brainpower, use your heart instead.
