Juho Mikkonen's Top 20 of 2011

To squeeze a whole twelve-month period – especially one that was as eventful as 2011 − into a list and a couple of paragraphs is always a pain in the jolly ol’ crapper. Having said that, I can only look back with awe at all sorts of...

The Feedback Loop - Opeth & Righteous Self-Defecation

Opeth is not a band that stumbles into new sounds; it actualizes them. There is a painstaking alchemy. Consider that in the course of their ten album career, they've recorded at six different studios, with each change in venue attending a distinct...

Fighting Words: Mean Deviation

Mean Deviation: Forty Years Of Progressive Heavy Metal (Jeff Wagner; foreward by Steven Wilson) Bazillion Points, 2010 I tend to love and hate progressive rock and metal, largely for two reasons: one, there's a subset of "progressive" bands...

Reverend's Bazaar - The Internet: It Exists

It's 2011. The Internet has been in general use since the early 1990's. The popularity of MP3s began to rise in 1997. It has been fourteen years since the advent of digital music, but record labels are still left dumbfounded, dicks in hand, when...

Moloken – A Brotherhood of Gloominess

There’s a peculiar inborn dichotomy between volume and marginality in underground metal. On the other hand, the pint-sized flame that was ignited already forty years ago seems to have gotten out of control, outstretching far beyond the acceptable...

Juho Mikkonen's Top 20 of 2010

As one of the perks assigned for a non-reviewing member of the Metal Review staff team, I get to enjoy a lot of the freedom that most of my colleagues here are deprived of. Basically, when I bust out an album, I can exploit the whole gamut of music as...

ALTAR OF PLAGUES - The Era of Immense Change

It might not happen very soon, but there will be a day when the oceans finally turn themselves upside down and the atmosphere cracks wide open from stratosphere to mesosphere, killing all the oxygen we so voraciously gulp every day without even giving...
