Review byBram van Rijen I Want to Disappearby The Story So Far 3/5 stars 19 days ago Parker Cannon sounds freed in No Pressure. Hence the band name. Although this TSSF album is solid, it's also a bit too solid. I bit too much formula going on here.
Review byBram van Rijen Voidkindby Dvne 5/5 stars 1 month ago Insanely good. The progressiveness is balanced out with their more raw energy and sound.
Review byBram van Rijen Living Proofby Drain 4/5 stars 1 month ago So fun. It's great to hear a more energetic fun side of hardcore these days. Reminds me Rhythm Of Fear by M.O.D.
Review byBram van Rijen Volitionby Protest the Hero 5/5 stars 1 month ago I absolutely love this band and this album might be my favourite. The way the guitars switch between riffs and mathy/prog type playing, hell yes.
Review byBram van Rijen Etemen Ænkaby Dvne 4.5/5 stars 29 May 2024 Great atmospheric progressive metal. Omega Severer is insane!
Review byBram van Rijen You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed Toby Knocked Loose 4.5/5 stars 17 May 2024 Chicken isn't the only fried thing coming out of Kentucky. This is 27 minutes of pure heaviness. And I love it.

Review byBram van Rijen The Shape of Fluidityby Dool 4/5 stars 26 Apr 2024 Incredible, harrowing album.
Review byBram van Rijen We Eat Our Youngby Cattle Decapitation 4/5 stars 19 Apr 2024 There's more to this deathgrind than just...grind.
Review byBram van Rijen A LA SALAby Khruangbin 3.5/5 stars 19 Apr 2024 Nice meandering album. The last track had a special dreamy melancholic vibe to it.
Review byBram van Rijen Charcoal Graceby Caligula’s Horse 3/5 stars 19 Apr 2024 All a bit too slick for me.
Review byBram van Rijen The Madness of Manyby Animals as Leaders 4.5/5 stars 15 Apr 2024 I spend way too much time watching these guys on YouTube.
Review byBram van Rijen Hissby Wormrot 4.5/5 stars 15 Apr 2024 This is the type of grindcore that hits the soul.
Review byBram van Rijen Dead Rebellionby Strung Out 2/5 stars 12 Apr 2024 The mixing/production is all wrong.
Review byBram van Rijen Copsby Fucked Up 4.5/5 stars 12 Apr 2024 'Fucks' is a fantastic beast of a song. Combining ferocious Fucked Up with their unique open sound.
Review byBram van Rijen Blow in the Windby Me First and the Gimme Gimmes 4.5/5 stars 11 Apr 2024 When I'm procrastinating this is my go to 'let's fucking go!' music.
Review byBram van Rijen daddy of mineby Four Year Strong 3.5/5 stars 9 Apr 2024 Bringing some Everytime I Die heaviness here. Still digg their energetic poppunk sauce too.
Review byBram van Rijen Only God Was Above Usby Vampire Weekend 2/5 stars 8 Apr 2024 This one will need to sink in, but on a Monday afternoon this is just, above anything else, giving me a headache.
Review byBram van Rijen Rheiaby Oathbreaker 4.5/5 stars 5 Apr 2024 This album has some of the most intense moments I ever heard recorded.
Review byBram van Rijen Don’t Reach for Meby Knocked Loose 4.5/5 stars 4 Apr 2024 God, every song gets heavier and heaveier and I'm here for it. More guterals, sudden stops. And that snare, that snare...
Review byBram van Rijen Lettermanby The Story So Far 4/5 stars 3 Apr 2024 Although sometimes I find TSSF a bit too slick, this slow burner slams. Looking forward to the new album.
Review byBram van Rijen Life Under the Sunby Militarie Gun 4/5 stars 3 Apr 2024 Wonderful, mellow treat, after their massive album 'Life Under the Gun'. The NOFX cover is a nice little gem.
Review byBram van Rijen Mount the Airby The Unthanks 3 Apr 2024 Dipping my toes in folk lately. Discovered 'Magpie' through True Detective, Night Country. And the whole album is great.
Review byBram van Rijen The Endless Shimmeringby And So I Watch You From Afar 4.5/5 stars 3 Apr 2024 Instrumental post-rock/-metal is my go-to focus music. It takes me to other dimensions. And ASIWYFA is a staple.
Review byBram van Rijen Survivingby Jimmy Eat World 4/5 stars 3 Apr 2024 The saxophone in All The Way (Stay) hits me every time, love it.
Review byBram van Rijen Integrity Bluesby Jimmy Eat World 4.5/5 stars 3 Apr 2024 is this their best? I don't know. Jimmy Eat World is my hot bath. I love them.

Review byBram van Rijen Goodnessby The Hotelier 4.5/5 stars 3 Apr 2024 Faith in emo restored with this beautiful, meandering album. There's something about their chords that brings a deeper level of, well, emo.
