3 stars 18th May, 2021: Oblique Rain - Isohyet (progressive metal, 2007)

Not quite as good as their second album, which is a bit of an underrated gem of Opethian prog metal, but this is still a nice cut of gothic prog in the vein of a band like Wolverine or The Provenance. There's a great melancholic overtone to the songwriting, even if the riffs are perhaps not the most creative. I also really love the final ambient track, which feels like a bold piece for a band of this genre to be attempting.

6.2 (2nd listen)
