Yes, Senmuth got an acoustic guitar and a dutar and he just wanted to test his two new instruments on this calm, meditative and insightful record for us. In fact, he plays both instruments quite well and his skills remind me a little bit of Cat Stevens,...

Senmuth offers us what seems to be one of his most progressive, experimental and diversified albums. Let's just take a look at the inspiring and epic cover artwork, the length of the six songs and the topic about the creation of the world. Well, Senmuth...

Swadhisthana is one of Senmuth's earliest masterpieces. It's a great electronic folk album about Hindu religion, Indian culture and Central Asian lifestyle. Senmuth was influenced by some Indian movies he saw and this album uses some film samples and...

Со(знание)бытия is not only a strange album title that can't really be accurately translated into any other language than Russian, it's also one of the weirdest releases in the whole Senmuth discography. This album is at first hand somehow a great overall...

Three years after the dark and modern Tinnitus Sanctus, Edguy seems to be back with a new album that heads back towards the power metal sound they had before but with a big influence from the hard rock sounds of the seventies and eighties. The opener...

Here's another original and technically skilled band coming from Québec. Martyr delivers technically solid death metal with many experiments and surprises such as floating progressive parts, jazz sounds and calm interludes. The band follows the tradition...

Everything on this album seemed to promise me a great record. I adore the historical topic of the Maya history and culture. I like most of the bands in which the members of this new project have been involved before. I am a big fan of symphonic metal...

One really feels that one of Senmuth's biggest passions is Egypt culture and history. "Sacral Land" is one of his strongest releases devoted to this topic. The album has a meditative folk feeling that makes this old and forgotten culture live again in...

I'm usually a big fan of the German pioneer gothic metal band Crematory but this record is probably the weakest one in their discography. The album heads for a modern sound with melodic keyboards samples, a bigger focus on clean vocals and rather catchy...

I first heard from the band and this album when I saw the brilliant and creepy video clip of the opener "At The Mountains Of Madness" on a compilation record. I actually thought this was a modern band and was surprised to discover that this record is...
