 90%Klangstabil - Chronik2025-04-24 / khocico / Reads: 645I listen to a lot of new music. Some of it is great, technically — yet it leaves me untouched. Some is entirely forgettable the second it stops playing. Some aspires, some repeats, some follows patterns so closely it disappears into them. But music that is truly good, deeply good... |
 85%Empusae – "The Alchemist’s Rift"2025-04-26 / khocico / Reads: 829Some artists capture sound the way the Japanese cherish porcelain — with attention, love, and awareness that even if broken, it can be mended with gold and become even more precious.

I’m not even sure why—but whenever I heard it, I would hide wherever I could, under a roof, far away from that noise. And the new Talvekoidik album opens precisely with that sound. Not loud or... |
 70%Tomas Mutina Serenades2025-05-04 / khocico / Reads: 590In Serenades, Tomas Mutina offers not so much an album as a luminous sketchbook of sonic meditations - each track a fleeting thought captured mid-bloom, a breath held between emotion and synthesis. Born from a year-long dialogue with modular machinery, these compositions do not unfold—they unveil. They whisper rather than... |
