Angerer
I’ve heard jazz, funk, and other forms of music combined with Metal, but never quite to these reaches, and never this smoothly. When you hear the aggressive weight of Progressive Metal and Djent elements on the album, their energy fires you up. When the band adds in all the other sounds, and consider the album as whole, these seemingly foreign elements just enhance the album. Their musicianship is outstanding as well.
Hard Anger Deluxe
Agabas
my Agabas-induced paracusias is acting up again.
Eons Of Horror
Evil Damn
“Eons Of Horror” is traditional Death Metal with a few Thrash Metal twists. All tracks are fast and frantic with punishing riffs and very aggressive vocals.
Enthroned In Torment
Bound To Prevail
“Enthroned In Torment” is classical Death Metal with a few Deathcore vibes at times. Fans of traditional Death Metal, who like it simple, aggressive, and spine-chilling will like the debut album of BOUND TO PREVAIL

Another Lie (single)
DAZR
Like the hot girl at the bar that teases by showing just enough skin to keep me buying her drinks, DAZR gives us just enough skin with their latest single “Another Lie” to keep me buying them drinks in anticipation of their upcoming album,…yep, I fall for it every time.
Rites of Ra
Venthiax
“Rites of Ra” is as brutal as it is fast, reminiscent of the 80’s though as relevant to our day and age as ever.
Atlantic Reborn
King Heavy
For existing KING HEAVY fans, “Atlantic Reborn” provides a unique perspective into the band’s past with rare cuts; for new fans it offers a snapshot from each album.
The Beast Goes On
Starbenders
This was a solid album, containing a diverse set of songs with different themes while still maintaining the high level of energy that comes with the genre. It’s a retrospective and sentimental sound that keys on the pulse of the radio during that time.
Woes Are Legion
Black Idol
I am quite a lapidarist when it comes to the musical jewels of Serbia.
Nowhere In Between Forever
Lantlos
You may ask yourself, why is this band signed to Prophecy Productions, a largely Metal label, when this music is pretty far away from that label? The answer is, of course, because they can. Prophecy Productions has always been able to find artists like Markus out there, and they don’t really care about genres. Just listen to the album, and you will find secret boxes that have gold hidden in them, overflowing with pleasing melodies. On the first warm day of spring in NorthEast Pennsylvania, this album is just the panacea that I needed today. Simple, but exquisite
Violent Playground
Bite Down
If songs don’t have to make sense to you, but need to be filled with as much noise and distracting sounds possible, you should give BITE DOWN a go. Who knows, “Violent Playground” may be just your thing.
Fractured Minds
Our Mirage
Metalcore is becoming more and more a mainstream Metal genre, and with that you will get the bands that start fitting that bill more and more. OUR MIRAGE is such a band.
Le Chemin Du Gaucher
Philippe Drouin Obvurt
If any of my readers ever have had guitar lessons, or feel that they can do with more finger fast exercises, you might want to check out PHILIPPE DOROUIN OBVURT on his latest endeavour, the debut album “Le Chemin Du Gaucher”. This is classed as Technical Death Metal, but this band (project?) from Quebec in Canada does more masturbatory guitar sounds than any other Death Metal band I have even encountered.
II Bleak
Vast Pyre
Well, first off let me tell you that if you do not like your Doom Metal slow and deliberate, you really need to stay away from VAST PYRE. They have the ability to go slow, but also very Heavy in a rather low toned sound, making it all come out in a very menacing and threatening way.
In Essence Divided
Nightshade
When you really stop to think about it, Progressive music can be anything you want it to be, and this album was an example of how far the genre can be pushed. The part of me who has to categorize everything he hears for my own reference point and for a guide for listeners is frustrated that I can’t find the proper word to describe their music. However, the other part of me who knows good music when he hears it is completely satisfied.
Nearest Dusk

I'm not trying to sabotage this review by completely diverting the subject, but I fucking hate AI.

Nils Ahnland
New Mexican Doom Cult
Just to be clear, NEW MEXICAN DOOM CULT is neither from New Mexico nor are they Mexican. They are in fact based in Gävle, Sweden which would also make them, uhm, Swedish. On January 23, 2026, they released their second full-length album, Ziggurat, via Majestic Mountain Records. In early March, Gary Hernandez, writer/editor with Metal Temple, caught up with Nils Ahnland, vocalist and guitarist, to discuss everything from the band’s origins to ancient Egypt to some background details on several of the tracks.

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.
