Rioghan - Different Kinds of Losses - Album Cover

These funky instances are few and far between. Sometimes one just spots them. New artists sporting insane talent, way out there beyond the beaten track. And their work just hooks you straight away. It’s a bit like the devil and your dark soul. As a reviewer, you won’t get away from it until you wrote yer piece. Or there won’t be peace – of mind or otherwise.

Rioghan is one of those artists. Already her 2021 EP Blackened Sky landed in our review pipe like a dropkick on a wet surface. And that one didn’t try to dazzle us with … [...] Click to raid more!

Increased sophistication seems to be the game these days, too. Away from heavy-handed djent-ism to more refined shores. So much so that some bands lose their metal chops and reinvent themselves in pop and some tastier versions of rock. The last example is the late To The Bone from Steven Wilson.
