Funky Duck – Get Ducked! (Independent, 2023)

Here’s to hoping that we see more tech death players branch out to other genres. Funky Duck’s latest offering is five songs of funk rock with clear nods to some of the greats. This Maryland quartet’s new EP includes mastermind Josh Rosen singing, playing keys, and playing horns, […]

Imperial Triumphant- Alphaville

One of my favorite bands in the avant-garde/experimental metal scene Imperial Triumphant is releasing their album “Alphaville” later this month on July 31st.  Somehow, someway I was able to get my grimy hands on this gloriously unusual piece of music by the New York trio.  The older I get, the […]

Thank You Scientist- Terraformer

Prog rock/jazz/fusion shredders Thank You Scientist recently released this album that’s been on repeat for me lately.  There’s a billion reasons why they they were our artist of the month recently.  The boys released this album and I never even knew it was coming out! It was a ridiculously great surprise. […]

The Inner Urge Self Titled

Pennslyvania’s The Inner Urge released this album ironically almost a year ago, on March 25th of 2018. If I actually knew these guys a while ago, I’d have added this to my 2018 best of list. They’re not your typical instrumental band, which is something I think our followers will love. […]

Denis Shvarts- Dreamology

  Dark Matter Secret mastermind Denis Shvarts released his second solo effort “Dreamology”.  It’s a pretty different sound compared to his wildly technical instrumental band, but still has that trademark sound he’s achieved.  His first album “Through The Universe” came out in 2014, but the further I went into […]
