Math-groove merchants Coalesce issue a must-have accompaniment to their decade-long comeback disc, combining more Western-driven melancholy to go with their regular dose of thunderous hardcore for OXEP.
Musical mastermind Omar Rodriguez Lopez adds to his mountainous prog catalog with Xenophanes, this time leaning on scurrying piano lines and taking full vocal control for an accessible yet technical record. Lastly (but not least-ly), inimitable rapper/producer Doom collects his favorite guest spots and behind-the-boards efforts on one disc. (more…)
