2. Tome Iliev Sextet – Trinaiska (2022)

🇲🇰 🇨🇭 Last time we did enjoy the Balkan variations by this vibrant band. Now we have something less Balkan-centric. It’s like the music has broken away from history. Along it’s way it has absorbed something from rock, something from pop music and even dub. Not to forget both the city’s bustle and harmonic nature. Melodies and rhythms from the record are inspired by travels to famous and fictional places. It happens in a good company with the maestro and his ensemble.

4. Dongyang Gozupa – Kyul (2022)

🇰🇷 Every time, the tireless experimenters from Korea balance on the verge of music and freedom, tradition and innovation, modest silence and deafening explosion. The unbreakable union of dulcimer, percussion and bass sets up an action of a galactic scale. As before, this wonderful music sounds like rock, metal, folk and avant-garde at the same time, actually not belonging to any of the above. Listening to this trio and their latest work is a pure pleasure.

6. Terror Cell – Caustic Light (2022)

🇺🇸 The monsters from Richmond, Virginia are once again disturb the border between hardcore, metal and post-anything. At the same time, the eardrums are disturbed as well. Pretty dense rhythm section boosted by fierce drumming is paired by voluminous distractions which sometimes turn into fragile chaos. A lot of restless elements are ready to jump out right on the hesitant listener in a second. It would be naive to expect anything else from this team.

Refined, but not lightweight stuff from the guru of experimental music. They are proudly bearing the “post” title, regardless of what one might write after this prefix.

8. Grin – Phantom Knocks (2022)

🇩🇪 Another heavy release for our episode, this time by the Germans. The family project will plunge us into a drowsy state and perform a magical seance. The bass lines makes the walls shake and the guitars sound loudly, readily switching to slippery and dirty tones. The drums give vitality to this viscous and gloomy music. The vocals, as before, exactly follow the style. Well, since the duet has an expert sound engineer on board and the studio at hand, everything sounds just nickel.

10. Rýr – Transient (2022)

🇩🇪 Our longtime guests from Germany drew the short straw to complete this episode. It’s hard to find a more autumnal, October album. This is exactly the case when the volume and atmosphere blooms in each party. The heaviness here is born not within the riffs, but rather between or behind them. It depends on the perspective that the compositions offers to the audience. Be that as it may, you will find yourself inside this soundpool with goosebumps, that’s for sure.
