CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX truly have no equal, and 'Great Escape' is a beautiful, ominous, and stunning work of post-rock, outsider art. Impure Wilhelmina
Produced by the band and Matt Bayles (PEARL JAM, MASTODON, etc.), ‘III’ raises the stakes on their unique, Appalachia-tinged blend of heavy rock. Impure Wilhelmina
I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer
Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
Screamo, post-rock, and a little black metal meld together for Virginia quartet Infant Island's signature immersive and melancholy sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2020
