Reliance
Soen
SOEN shows no signs of slowing down on “Reliance.” The songs are a bit more concise in terms of their length, but it’s the emotional impact that will sweep you off your feet.
Primordial
What Will Be
I have to say that even though this isn’t even close to my cup of tea, there is no denying that WHAT WILL BE exists of four very good musicians who really gel well together. They know how to complement each other in such a way that it makes the songs sound very good indeed.
Decomposition
Pythonic
PYTHONIC does command respect. The way they have approached the music is impressive. I hear Metalcore, I get Metal Hardcore, I receive Groove metal and I hear Heavy Metal. Sometimes one of the four, at other times two or more of the four ingredients on offer. And what is even more impressive; they work well together.
Inner Keep
Mother Crone
There is no way in Heaven or Hell that I can’t NOT like what MOTHER CRONE is offering me on “Inner Keep”, as the songs are all of a very high standard, have all the right ingredients to sound amazing. Proper introductions, solid foundations, hard edged bodies and fitting endings.
Guerre Et Paix
Via Doloris
Overall, this was a good album. It wasn’t too aggressive or dark, and you could also clearly hear some nice bass work. I also found it to be as advertised…leading melodies with Folk echoes, and they did show restraint in the album.

Planned Obsolescence
Only Human
This was an outstanding Progressive album, and in many ways, it might point towards where the genre is headed for the future. The band has some serious chops, but they don’t overtake the sound, which is heavily focused on an emotional impact. It kept moving forward…branching out, exploring, uncovering rocks that used to be a permanent part of the scene, and each transition was completely smooth. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
Same Drug New High
Gluecifer
I don’t care what your status is emotionally, if “Same Drug New High” doesn’t make you feel better than I haven’t got a clue what will. I know that every time I listen to this GLUECIFER album I get a big smile on my face, start tapping my foot and nodding my head. Welcome back!!
Apocalypse Inc
Frozen Factory
The eclectic mix of styles and musical directions actually works on “Apocalypse Inc”, the fourth album by FROZEN FACTORY. Somehow, they have adopted the ability to make all the different angles come together in a way that the blending is almost unnoticeable, but still very much present when you really take a listen.
Equinox
Equilibrium
When I saw this on the to do list of METAL TEMPLE, the combination of musical styles had me intrigued. That is why I requested this review as mine. I like some Metalcore, just as I love some Folk Metal, but they have to get it right to get me really going. The question that I will be asking myself here is whether EQULIBRIUM has the ability to mix them in such a way that it will blow me away.
Ready To Fight
Cremate
“Ready to Fight” is the rebirth of CREMATE, a band forged in the Athens underground of the early 90s. Built on the foundation of their cult demo “End of Time” (1993), this EP reimagines the raw Death/Thrash spirit of the past with a modern twist weaving in dark synths, samples, and atmospheric textures without losing any of the aggression.
Killerdemons
Borrower
BORROWER and their record companies Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records state on the EPK that they play Progressive Metal, and I’ll admit that this genre is part of their sound, but I need to add a bit of Alternative Rock, a bit of Sludge and a smidgeon of Industrial as well.
Qroba
Ennui
Overall, the best part of the album was trying to decide if it was nearly void of all emotion, or bursting alive with it, and that depends on the listener’s perspective. It was composed in a way that it could go either direction.
Last Light Fades
Graves For Gods
This was a positively dreadful album, in every positive meaning of that phrase. An ominous feeling of doom kept increasing as the album moved, akin to getting another piece of bad news on top of another. By the end, I just felt defeated, and totally slave to its charms.

GOATSMOKER is the perfect name for this band and “E.R.I.S.” is a perfect reliquary of their latest collection bitumen-soaked Doom.

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.
