(Andy Synn tries his best to catch you up with some of what you may have missed last month)
Today’s edition of “Things You May Have Missed” is going to be another bumper one – six albums, instead of the usual four – due to the ridiculous number of new releases that came out in February.
In fact, here’s an abbreviated list of everything that didn’t make the cut this time around, just so you can see what I’ve been struggling with – including Ashbringer, Atlas, Ensanguinate, Diespnea, Farson, Fayenne, Fossilization, Howling, Misotheist, Muertissima, Palaces, and Puke Wolf – all of which are well worth checking out (Advent of Wounds in particular is likely to make an appearance on a lot of “end of year” lists).
There’s a small chance, of course, that I might find time to do a follow-up article to this one covering some of the above artists/albums in depth… but don’t bet on it (after all, the more time I spend on last month the less time I have to dedicate to albums from this month).
However, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by the bands I’ve selected for today’s article – some of which have received very little coverage elsewhere, as far as I can tell, and several of whom are making their first appearance here at our site as well – which, hopefully, cover a pretty wide spread of styles and (sub)genres, meaning there should be something for almost everyone here.
