Salutations, void wrigglers! We hope you’re keeping well. We have another big ol’ carton of music to dissect and incoherently ramble about. Much of this material dates back to June/July 2022, but we hope there is an intriguing find or two lurking within that you might have overlooked.

Releases covered in this one range from CMD094 and moreru to Bergfried and Pillar of Wasps. Wistful dreampunk, excoriating emoviolence, sludge-stomping noise rock, ice-laden death doom, and medieval folk rock are but a few of the timbres explored in this iteration of Reviews and Other Rambles. On our site, you can find the full list of what we discuss, with timestamps provided for each piece, in case you want to jump to a particular segment of the conversation.
