I was pretty happy about my year-end list in the beginning of November, didn't think anything had yet to come out that would disrupt the balance of my carefully selected list of albums.

In the last edition of Freekend I wrote about a Ukranian band called Septa and while my feeling were definitely positive back then I've been listening to it a lot more afterwards. I've only grown fonder of it as time (and repeated listens) goes by so I decided to go ahead and write a full review. To top it off I got an interview with Eugene, the band's vocalist. Read ahead and get destroyed.
My love for Nero Di Marte goes back to the time an Italian band called Murder Therapy released an album called Moloch. That album, with it's progressive death metal meets something entirely different sound, made me very excited for the future of the band. Their back catalog was interesting but didn't live up to the hype Moloch had created. Some time thereafter Prosthetic signed a band called Nero Di Marte that, from the teaser supplied by said label, seemed to continue this very interesting sound. With further, rigorous investigation (reading the YouTube description) I found out Murder Therapy had in fact changed their name to Nero Di Marte. Good call in my honest opinion.
Now they've released their second album under this new moniker so how does it hold up? Read on and find out. While Verse Vica's debut album is peppered with the syncopated chug-fests “djent” is renowned for, and despite the fact that (the aptly-titled?) “Djinn” veers uncomfortably close to being an exemplification of the aforementioned genre; to label the band as such would be rather impetuous.
About a week ago The Contortionist released their third full length album Language. Reviewing it has been on my to-do list since I first heard it but before we begin, as often before and (spoiler alert) often again, I will digress into a seemingly unrelated story...
I've gotten quite a few promos sent recently and I've been meaning to write about a few of them but real life got in the way so I've had little time to write. This may sound like it doesn't really matter but if you read on you will see why it does.
We here at Daedric Influence recently received our first early copy of an album along with a request to review it. That album was one that I was already hyped for so it is with great joy that I invite you to read my thoughts on No Sin Evades His Gaze's debut album Age of Sedation.
