![The Ilusen's Fallacy [DEMO], by Keegan Ostrowski](https://78.media.tumblr.com/a6e42f769a253d104f1ce675b214e130/tumblr_pe1uwnqYvJ1w7dja0_540.jpg)
Ilusen's Fallacy by Keegan Ostrowski
Technical Progressive Death Metal solo project from San Diego, California, with melodic and jazz elements. Features a 7 string fretless bass, and the upcoming remastered rerelease includes some guitarwork from Jeff Loomis, as well as drums by Marco Minnemann.
The album is 88.88 minutes long, and is superbly executed throughout. The 7 string bass is a wonderful element, and is played masterfully. The vocals include harsh, clean, and female vocals, and weave into the music while still remaining distinct. The guitar tone and effects blend seamlessly, and the playing is precise yet organic feeling.
Wall of Fog is probably my favorite track.

Eternal Throne EP
Available as Digital, Vinyl, or Cassette from Helter Skelter Productions.
Hailing from Malmö, Sweden, these black metal miscreants have unleashed four tracks of raw traditional black metal that is uniquely their own. From the opening choir transformation into a growling wall of feedback, you know you're in for a wild ride. Furiously paced, yet with beautiful flourishes of musicianship and no shortage of groove, this EP howls from start to finish. The guitarwork is the definite star of this show, going from frigid tremolo picking to wild solos that would be perfectly at home on a Maiden album. And the tone is a banshee wail, utterly perfect for this fiery plague that melts your face from start to finish. Definitely a favorite release of mine this year.
Released July 9, 2018.
