Purnima

atumatu Tanjiir's debut album is an exhilarating piece of post-metal best listened to in a dark room while rain patters the glass of a nearby window. The soaring guitars serve as the backbone to the band's identity as they traverse through 5 experimental and interestingly arranged yet entirely distinctive pieces. While there's no dip in quality across the album, my favourite tracks are "Against the Backbone of Night" and the aptly titled "Hypergiant", which feels both adrenaline-rushing and colossal. Favorite track: Against the Backbone of Night.

flightoficarus (Metal Trenches) A solid fusion of instrumental post rock and progressive metal.
- MetalTrenches.com Favorite track: This Planet Does Not Harbor Life.

Quintessence After years of hard work, Tanjiir come out strong with their debut effort. Featuring beautifully executed leads and excellent ambient moments, if you're crying out for instrumental post-metal with a progressive edge, then Purnima will satiate your bloodlust. Favorite track: This Planet Does Not Harbor Life.

Special thanks to:

Bob and Jackie Hritz, Geno and Kathy Quiroz, Clutch and Laura Kargol for allowing us to rehearse and record in their basements and garages without yelling at us to turn it down.

Zack Burnickas and Jake Kargol for joining us on this ride.

IV Labs Studios (RIP) for their hospitality while tracking drums.

Everyone who has supported the band the past four years whether it was coming out to a show, buying merch, filling in for a gig last minute, helping us move gear or just asking us when the hell this was going to finally come out.

Sam Menne for not gawking at being asked to put a shitty cell phone photo on a very large canvas.

Robert Drauden for being an absolutely solid dude.

Sarah McDaniel for being our (un)official drummer for the past 2 years.

Dedicated to Mike Hritz, Bob Hritz and Bill Gaffney.

I'm Losing Myself
by An Isolated Mind

supported by 6 fans who also own “Purnima”

Rien de pire que de voir quelqu'un en train de sombrer et ne pouvoir rien faire. Vous êtes animés par votre empathie, vous voulez tendre la main mais l'autre se perd. I'm Losing Myself, premier album de An Isolated Mind, est un rouage tragique que personne ne peut arrêter. Kameron Bogges met en avant un tiraillement horrible, entre un post-metal d'une grande beauté par sa simplicité et des dissonances affreuses, aliénées (le piano sur "I'm Losing Myself"). Sur le fil du rasoir — trop tard...? Jordan Vauvert

The Oceanwalker
by Nautilus

supported by 5 fans who also own “Purnima”

Heureux qui, comme Nautilus, a créé un beau voyage... Le metal progressif de The Oceanwalker, premier album de la formation norvégienne Nautilus, a beau être uniquement instrumental, il n'a rien à envier aux sagas poétiques maritimes. The Oceanwalker plaira aux synesthètes : il fera entendre l'appel du grand large et l'orage menaçant qui gonfle les flots ; il fera accoster sur des archipels luxuriants et contempler les profondeurs. C'est d'une densité incroyable tout en restant léger. Superbe ! Jordan Vauvert
