In the Key of Twilight
Irae
This was a solid release. It was closer to the traditional side of the genre, but they did add their own personality to the music. If they would have taken a few more chances, and it could have gone from good to excellent.

Vesseles
This was an excellent album. When you talk about Black Metal, particularly the Symphonic variety, it can be a very cinematic listening experience. This album was for sure. There was also some transference involved as I was further immersed in the album, as if I could see the world through Valira’s eyes. The sights were no horrid, they were burned into my memory, but like witnessing a train derailment, you just can’t look away. With better production, however, this could have been outstanding
MetaForm
Dimholt
This was an excellent album. Although it’s steeped in the early traditions of the genre, there was just enough risk taking to please listeners with need for a wider range of sound, while not alienating the average fan of Black Metal. Their musicianship is strong, they followed their vision, and the songs were powerfully aggressive.

Overproduction is a myth, it's not misogynistic, and it's not stale. Deathcore is great when done right - this was done right
Stella Mori
I Hear Sirens
One of the best features of the album is how the band plunges you head first into deep, murky waters, to let you explore the darker side of things, only to bring you back by the end. It’s quite an emotional rollercoaster of sound, as only Post Rock instrumentals can levy.
Antheraea
Oculi Melancholiarum
The album has a constant push and pull that is like a ride on an old wooden rollercoaster. You are jarred back and forth at every turn, yet the experience is enjoyable and a total adrenaline rush. She has claws and fans, which can cut deep, but she also radiates warmth, simplicity, and acceptance. When you are in her presence, you can’t help but feel content.

Deities Dethroned
Sundowner
Sometimes, you get feelings of regret from the album, while other times, a numbing sadness that can’t be shaken. Of course, there are also angry tones, and they blend in with the bleakness of the album very well. No matter what you feel, the point of the album is that you do, and you feel it deeply.

Lost and Amsterdamned
El Muerto
"Lost and Amsterdamend" is a resplendent, yet dark album, and I want to hear more of this project down the road.

Dissonance
Meteora
“Dissonance” is a satisfying final installment to the “Darkest Light” trilogy.
Kun Valo Minussa Kuoli
Kaunis Kuolematon
I have to believe KAUNIS KUOLEMATON is at the forefront of the Finnish metal scene, a position they certainly deserve as evidenced by “Kun Valo Minussa Kuoli.”
Cemetery Hallucinations
Moros
Overall, this was a solid album. The band’s focus on the deep end of their sound keeps the riffs sounding massive, and towering. Add in the bass, which thickens it up further, and the vocals, which are raging and tortured, and you have a recipe for a good listening experience.
Echoes Of Isolation
Defecto
I do feel that the music that DEFECTO plays on “Echoes Of Isolation” has all the hallmarks of a band that is letting loose, giving it their all. I therefore have to admit that for the first time in 2026, I am smitten. What a brilliant treat this is.
Rogue Angels
Starlight Ritual
The vocals have surprised me. At times Damian Ritual sounds a lot like the late Paul Di’Anno, mainly due to him having the same kind of vibrato, but also because on some songs the vocal lines sound as if they could have straight out the deceased frontman’s pen. But when he goes shrill and high he has a bit of Dave Mustaine in his voice as well.
Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development (and all demos)
Usurper
I actually have the original CD of the USURPER album “Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development” in my possession. What we have here is the Dutch Thrash Metal version of USURPER, a band that was very active in the second half of the eighties up and until the early nineties.

The Legend of Johnny Gnasch
Gnasch
The album is crushing, in the way that time turns the ashes of Kings into dust. In death, we all are insignificant. As I mentioned above, it also points to a repetitive cycle that most humans find themselves caught up in and don’t question it. Shit, there has to be more to life than this, doesn’t there?
The Parson’s Tale
Balistic
I always appreciate a good Progressive music album set to a theme. The spoken words helped to keep the story on track, and the music shifted from dark to spots of light at times, although in keeping with the theme, it was mostly done in the shadows. The band’s musicianship was strong, and I would like to hear more from them.
Atoned in Metamorphosis
Predatory Void
Although it’s just an EP, the band gave me a full taste of flavor, and I am intrigued. Indeed, they do blend a lot of genres together into a soup that has seasoning. But, if you try to separate out the parts, you will ruin the recipe. You just need to sit back and let it blend together, despite how uncomfortable it might make you feel.
Blackdemonium
Astarte
While this may not be an album I ever really go back to, I appreciated the time I had with it, and R.I.P. Tristessa.
Aggravate
Violent Testimony
The thrash-turned-grindcore project Violent Testimony released their first "full-length" LP "Aggravate" via HPGD Records. "Full length" is used lightly in a […]
Born In Darkness
Naraka
If you read the Metal Encyclopaedia site they play Melodic Death Metal. Well, that is very narrow, if you ask me. What NARAKA does will have you going from Gothic Rock via Movie Metal up and until the mentioned Melodic Death Metal. I understand that the net is cast wide by these descriptions, but they do fit the bill.
This Life Is A Grave
Dead Sun
If I had to classify in what range of Death Metal to put “This Life Is A Grave” it would actually be easy listening, as the level of simplicity, accessibility and ease to your ears this is one of the easiest albums I have ever listened to in this particular musical genre.
Benediction Part 2
Sodality
Overall, this wasn’t a bad album by any stretch…it had an evil and harrowing sound. It just didn’t bring anything new to the genre.
Retrodeath
Bonginator
Weed and games and memes and nostalgia! All of these words properly describe the vibrant death metal outfit Bonginator.
