Bell Witch & Aerial Ruins - Stygian Bough Volume II (2025)


This album plunges the listener into a vast abyss of sorrow and reflection, weaving immense low-end riffs with haunting vocals and moments of fragile acoustic beauty. The interplay between Bell Witch’s glacial doom and Aerial Ruin’s dark folk whisperings creates a sense of mythic gravitas, as if you’re witnessing a ritual in slow motion. Four long compositions unfold like chapters of a tragic epic, each exploring themes of worship, power and decay. Production feels clearer and more expansive than before, allowing the motifs to breathe even in their heaviness. For fans of immersive, emotionally deep metal that demands patience and rewards immersion, this is a major statement.

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel.
