Mothers
Drowned In Silver
I have to say is that although this goes way beyond that which I’m used to listening, I found myself being utterly intrigued and, in this case, even mesmerised by what I hear on “Mothers”. Even though the songs are quite lengthy, DROWNED IN SILVER never gives you the feeling that they are too long.
Songs Of The Hungry Ghosts
Harmozel
HARMOZEL doesn’t have a record deal, so the thing to do is to self-release the debut album “Songs Of The Hungry Ghosts”. And what is very clear from the start is yes, this is Doom Metal. There is no way you can confuse this for anything else.
Rise Of The Immortals
Hounds
HOUNDS are an Italian Heavy/US Power Metal band born in 2016. Their music is mainly inspired by the great masters of Heavy Metal and 80s US Power Metal, including JUDAS PRIEST, SAVATAGE and VIRGIN STEELE. Well, if that doesn’t sound promising, I don’t know what does.
Old Night - Mediterranean Melancholy
Old Night
The songs are clearly written and recorded by a band that has been together for quite some time. Everything on “Mediterranean Melancholy” is rather lengthy, but not once are you wondering when the song is going to end. There are no boring pieces, you will hear no fillers being used by OLD NIGHT, be it short or long.
We Are One (single)
Rozario
Heavy metal rockers ROZARIO return with the second single/video from their upcoming album “Northern Crusaders” and promise to keep the “Northern Crusade” rampaging.
Life in Seven Dreams
Laughing Stock
I mentioned that the album seems to be more about exploring the journey than arriving at any destination. Certain Progressive Rock music features subtle complexities that may challenge even seasoned listeners. I found the material here to be reflective of that. It might be one of the best features of the genre however…that sense of mystery and having to peel back the layers to find what’s underneath.
Rituals of a Dying Light
Deadwood
A short but sweet slice of Blackened (?) Deathcore.

Reborn Through Torture
Calcraft
This was an excellent album, and it veered off of the path of the genre just enough to keep it intriguing. They used harrowing backing elements, some clean vocals and spoken words, and other techniques and by the end, I did feel like it was a soundtrack to the final scene of a movie that I would never survive.
War Chariots
White Baroness
Overall, this wasn’t a bad album by any stretch, it just didn’t offer anything new to the genre. Purists might like this album because it stays within the traditions of the genre, but I like to hear bands taking more chances and experimenting more with their music.
We Are Him
Darvaza
The album seemed to improve the longer I listened to it and with each forthcoming song. I also appreciated the religious themes within the music. Indeed, Black Metal was founded on religion…anti-religion of course. This was a solid effort from the duo.
Joker In The Pack
Hell In The Club
After signing to Frontiers Records in 2017, Hell in the Club released “Hell Of Fame” […]
Reactance Theory
D'Ercole
Listening to “Reactance Theory” is also making me a very happy Rocker because the songs all have that little bit of class that you expect from a band that has been going for some 15 years, making it even more remarkable that they have been able to produce 11 albums, including this one.
Time
Skull & Crossbones
Opening tune “Echoes of Eternity” goes from 0 to 100 mph in just a few seconds. And let me tell you, if this song doesn’t do it for you, just ignore the rest of the album.
Cybergenesis
HyperioN
HYPERION isn’t the next band to take over the world, but they are a band that has the ability to please and entertain a lot of (mostly) old fashioned Metal fans with the music they have provided us with on “Cybergenesis”. And because they have been able to provide the record with a very clear, transparent, but above all contemporary sound, a lot of the young Metal afficionados might be quite willing to not only give this a go, but also their sign of approval.
Setting Fire To The Sky
Urne
On “Setting Fire To The Sky” URNE demonstrates that they are able to show different sides of themselves, whilst the sound and foundation available will convince you that you still are listening to the same band. What makes this an even listening experience is that all the songs bring a lot of quality to the turntable, making it very easy to like and/or admire this album.
Counting Seasons
Above Us The Waves
I like the sound that ABOVE US THE WAVES better than I do the tunes individually. I would even go so far as to say that if they were able to write outstanding sounds, they would be able to make a real go at musical stardom. Nevertheless, “Counting Seasons” is a very decent EP.
Alt Som Finnes
Bizarrekult
The album has a quality to it as if it was trying desperately to offer some hope, but with each turn, they sunk the dagger deeper into your heart. Either way you slice it, the level of emotional impact is high…almost devastating at times. You can feel each note in your stomach, like a rock that just keeps growing and there is no escape from the pain.

CZART
CZART is an experimental metal band hailing from Poland. The concept behind their debut album, “Czarty Polskie,” has been controversial not only for the AI debate but for the many references to Polish demonology. On All Hallows Eve, Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, caught up with members of CZART to discuss everything from AI to the reasons why metal resonates so much in Poland to whether we are living in the best of times or the worst. Most importantly, they discuss the beloved CZART goat.
Sam Graff
Agenbite Misery
AGENBITE MISERY hails from New Hampshire. In February 2026, the band will be releasing their debut album, "Remorse of Conscience." The album is an experimental metal interpretation of "Ulysses" by James Joyce. This month Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, was able to catch up with Sam Graff (guitars, vocals, synth) to discuss the some deeper details about the band, their aspirations, and their upcoming album as well as the curious link between literature and metal.
Stefano Fiorelli
Warcoe
WARCOE hails from Pesaro, Italy. Formed in 2021, following the year of our plague, the Doom trio has been blazing a trail through the Italian Doom scene with one monumental album after the other. On September 26, 2025 they released their third full-length album, “Upon Tall Thrones,” which not only weighed in at 8/10 on the Metal Temple scales but hit #1 on Doom Charts for September 2025. This month Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, was able to catch up with Stefano Fiorelli (guitars, vocals) to discuss the origin story of WARCOE, details of their latest album, and even speculate on the impacts of AI and streaming platforms.
Jacob Curwen
All Hell
All Hell has been described as a Blackened Thrash band, but they are much more. On October 10, 2025, the trio for Ashville, North Carolina release their fifth full-length album, "Sunsetter," via Terminus Hate City. Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, caught up with Jacob Curwen (vocals, guitars) to discuss topics ranging from the band's origins to the details of "Sunsetter" to AI in metal.
