Now with a Gorgoroth influence in addition to the RAC and ambient black metal. Should be a hell of an album.

Desecresy – The Secret of Death (2026)
Desecresy return with more keyboards and something closer to their original approach, which seems to finely-refined jazz technique applied to ambient death metal, creating a sense of free descent in an ocean cave of ambiguity.

Eureka Heights Brewing Company – Mini Boss
From the light beer version of IPAs, this is the oat-infused version, which makes it an American adjunct beer underneath the surface, and it tastes like one, with a thin bitter flavor concealing an inner sweetness.

St Arnold Brewing Company – Elissa IPA
Following the St Arnold penchant for amber beers, this IPA tastes more like a dark beer and lets the malt bring out the flavor of the hops, resulting in a musky aromatic spice that perfuses the otherwise gentle flavor of this beer.
2 CommentsFounders Brewing Company – All Day IPA
Brewers are not more competent now, per se, but they are much more attuned to the market, such that it is rare to have a truly horrible beer. This one is barely an IPA and tastes like tea but has a nice clean flavor.

Big Country Brewing Company – Hazy IPA
Imagine a nice grapefruit-juice IPA but poured into a Pabst Blue Ribbon. There. That is the review. Oh fine, we will add more: it has a nice earthy flavor, good bitterness, excellent alcohol.

Stone Brewing – Stone IPA (2021)
This is one of those things that is not terrible, but also is not good enough that you would seek it out again, mainly because this IPA still tastes like a normal beer with some lemon juice added.

Independence Brewing Company – Stash IPA (2026)
The website contains all sorts of hipster bullshit for anal cuckolds, but the beer is good: it is a slightly fruity but lemon-bitter IPA similar to Karbach Hoppadillo Juicy, but slightly gentler.

Vintegral – Toward the Last Dawn (2026)
Postmodernity made people afraid of conflict, so even metalheads make music that dodges the inherent clash needed for change: droning melodic black metal where riffs follow each other not in a dialogue but in a passing conversation which resolves nothing after hours.
