Karnivool
The thing is, if you never have heard anything of KARNIVOOL before, you’re in for a real treat. So much so that you undoubtedly will be checking their musical history asap. If you already know about the band, you’ll be ready to be amazed once again.
Genotype
Textures
The songs on “Genotype” are without fail very good, and have all the elements you would hope they would use, even if as a whole it all is a bit more mellow than what you’re used to with TEXTURES.
Axis Mundi
TarLung
The title means “representing a symbolic, vertical axis connecting heaven, earth, and the underworld. It acts as a sacred, central pillar or portal.” Themes mentioned in their bio match the music quite well. The music is slow, filthy sounding, and apocalyptic in some senses…and reminds you that the world is actually a fucked place.
John Carpenter (Redux)
Besta
I like my songs to last longer than a couple seconds, but if those couple seconds are good, then I'm all ready for Besta.
Misty Woman
Aunt Cynthia's Cabin
Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin were originally a duo formed in 2018 in San Diego,USA by Brennan […]

Powerhouse
Powerhouse’s highly anticipated sophomore album “American Rebel”, is an explosive 6 track ride of pure […]
Quan tot s'apagui
Syberia
I have always maintained that instrumental music is harder to write and listen to, because vocals and lyrics aren’t here to guide your way. SYBERIA are masters at creating landscapes that you have never seen before…never experienced before. It’s like a trip through every corner of the universe with your eyes closed and only your imagination guides the way.
Tékmés
Juodvarnis
This was a fantastic release, and I don’t believe I have ever heard a band from Lithuania before. The secret to their sound was combining aggressiveness and torture with atmosphere, ambiance, and melody. There were just enough Progressive elements (odd chord progressions, technical prowess, etc.) to keep the sound modern and interesting, and I would love to hear what the band does next.
Zombie Chronicles Vol. 1
Season of the Dead
Booriingg
Many Will Never Know This Freedom
Skyclad Cult
This EP is so endearing.
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.
Obsidian Cult

Norse heavy metal band Hollow Peak released their debut LP Obsidian Cult on January 23, 2026. This album impressed […]

Nornes

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.
Break the Silence
Beyond The Black
German symphonic metallers Beyond The Black have made quite a name for themselves. Since 2015, Beyond The Black […]

Dissonance... OooOoooOo
E.R.I.S.
Goatsmoker
GOATSMOKER is the perfect name for this band and “E.R.I.S.” is a perfect reliquary of their latest collection bitumen-soaked Doom.
Inexorable Opposites
Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows
The Jack Harlon saga continues with “Inexorable Opposites,” a little older and wiser and maybe more somber than previous iterations.
Borrowed Time
Altared States
ALTARED STATES was actually formed in 1989, only to be disbanded in 1990. The made their return in 2019, and have been around ever since. On “Borrowed Time” they give us the time to embrace 5 songs.
Portentum
Imperial Domain
I have to say that IMPERIAL DOMAIN has that undefinable trait which makes you like what they do. What is remarkable is that it doesn’t matter if what the band is good or not.
Evocations
Red Sands
As far as “Evocations” goes i believe that this band is at tis best when they let their Metal hearts speak, with or without Symphonic and/or Epic elements.
Into The Unknown
XIII DOORS
Just because I showed up fashionably late to the XIII DOORS party (album dropped February 2025) doesn’t mean the lights are off and the keg is empty. Oh contra ire, this party is just warming up. So grab a drink, snag an appetizer and squeeze into the mosh pit as we drop the needle on “Into The Unknown”.
Timor Lucis
Post Luctum
This was an excellent album, and the way that composer Ian weaved the themes mentioned above into reach song was expertly done. He made the story come to life in your head, with constant images as the album moved. Like the great sea, the tale undulated, rising and swelling with the tide, and in the end, you have to ask yourself…can I live a life of isolation, or will it slowly drive me mad?

When a black metal album has a painted cover, I know I'm in for some […]
