Legions Of Metal
Blutgott
It always is a real treat when you get to review a release by BLUTGOTT. The reason of that being that you get three albums for the price of one. That does sound strange, but there is always a BLUTGOTT album that is pure Heavy metal in all it’s facets, but you also get a BLOOD GOD and a DEBAUCHERY album.
Discharge
Rise Of The Wood
Let me start off with a bit of history first. In 2015 in the province of South Holland in the Netherlands a group of musicians got together and started a new band, which they baptised as RISE OF THE WOOD. And yes, if you are of a dirty mind, that could be exactly why this name was chosen.
Passage I Melancholia
The Great White Nothing
With “Passage I Melancholia”, we tell the story of a man leaving his home and known world behind in search of solace in the most unforgiving of places. This album dives deeply into the stories of 20th century Antarctic pioneers, exploring their hardships and fervour. This is not a concept album per se, but we drew inspiration from historical personal accounts and the desolate landscapes of the Antarctic. We took that awe-inspiring, freezing abyss and brought it to life.
The Devil's Asylum
Vicious Rumors
This is US Metal as it should be played; with conviction and dedication. The guitars really enhance each other’s power whilst still being distinguishable individually. As for singer Chalice, he can reach heights that are almost unnatural for a bloke.
Pilgrims and Psychonauts
Nepal Death
I don’t know if I could hack a live concert from these guys, but as a studio album “Pilgrims and Psychonauts” has positively surprised me.
The Edge
Black Water Rising
I wouldn’t call myself a Stoner Rock lover or connoisseur, but I do love old fashioned Rock and Metal, and even with the contemporary sound that is to be found on “The Edge” I hear enough that makes me travel back in time when everything was done manually, all those expensive and complicated gadgets weren’t available.
Bring Mirrors to the Surface
Zatokrev
Overall, this was an excellent release. The weighted tones were crushing, as was the feeling on your back. The band wants you to carry these burdens with you forever, and remind you how heavy and painful they are.
Time out of Place
Syrinx
Overall, this was a solid listen. Sure, it has a throwback sound, but for those of us who live through those times, it was sentimental. The band is talented…they just need to sharpen things up a bit, and perhaps looking for a new producer.
Human Error
Anger Machine
“Human Error” offers a well composed mixture of traditional Thrash Metal and Groove Metal
Leave The Light Behind
Bloodletter
BLOODLETTER offer a mixture of Thrash Metal and melodic Death Metal with a few melodic Black Metal twists on their fourth album
Violence
Sadistic Goatmessiah
Highly enjoyable this one. The band name and the album cover pretty much say it all. This is unadulterated raw, fundamental Black and Thrash the way that Satan meant it to be.
Further
Solace
If “Further” were to drop today as a brand-new album it would undoubtedly be heralded as one of best albums of 2025. As reissue, it could still hold that honor.
Gigamesh
Korypheus
Overall, this was a solid listen for me. The band has all of the elements you would want from the genre, and are quite talented as well. It’s just a matter of sharpening their efforts a bit for this to go from a good release to an excellent one.
Abgnose
Hasard
If this isn’t one of the most terrifying albums you have ever heard, you may want to pay another visit to the cemetery at night for comparison. All of the ghost, specters, and things that go bump in the night are nothing compared to the visual that this album creates…you may never sleep again.
Psykopaten
Riket

Legacy
Ihlo
An unbroken thread of melody carries the listener through an emotional spectrum. Their music exists in that space where progressive metal’s precision and compositional complexity merge with raw human feeling, creating something both powerful and deeply personal. The emotional breadth of IHLO’s sound is its defining strength. The songs give space for reflection, but they also demand release. They capture isolation and connection, despair and determination, collapse and rebirth. By the album’s end, you remember most how it felt. The album resonates in the bones, the breath, and the quiet spaces you carry inside.
Spiritual Rites of the Psychopomp Abxulöm
Esoctrilihuim
The album seemed to encapsulate everything that someone might come across in the underground…chaotic aggression, and vocals that can frighten you even when you are asleep. The composer is obviously talented, and the album is just diverse enough. Any fans of Extreme Metal will find this to their liking.

Midnite Masters
Wolfskull
There is nothing wrong with what WOLFSKULL is playing on “Midnite Masters”. What will help some people is that the voice of singer Pete 9 has a similar sound as out little giant Glenn Danzig has, only with a little more variation in his timbre.
Emergence
Ursawrath
How high I feel that URSAWRATH can climb. I really have no idea. They haven’t been together that long (I think), and if they can produce this just two years after their original demo, they might have a future.
Violent Obliteration
Biolence
Everything that BIOLENCE does on “Violent Obliteration”. has a nice ring to it, the songs are well versed in changing tempo and intensity, and not once during the whole listening experience do feel that they are out of tune or out of sync.
Gods With Machines
Ashes of The Sun
Well, let me first off tell you that this is not Extreme Metal in any way or form. No, on “Gods With Machines” you will hear simple Heavy metal and Rock, intertwined with slower and more emotional musical parts to heighten the diversity and widen the range of musical paths travelled.

Uihtis
Arkaaik
This was an uncommon listening experience for me. The music was primal, and seemed to come from the distant past…not decades ago, centuries ago. The themes were reflected well in the music also. This one is for Extreme Metal fans who want something off the beaten path a bit.
Blodsdåd Och Hor
Jordfäst
To summarize, in a genre sometimes plagued by poor musicianship, JORDFAST prove that they are more than fit with their peers. The jagged mountain peaks on the cover with mist in the air provide clues to their powerful, and often majestic sound.
Empowered by Hatred
Baelfyr
This was indeed a riff based, old school amalgam of Death and Black Metal, but some of the mid-tempo pacing kept the album from getting off the ground. It was a solid listening experience, and the band is talented, but if they could work in a little more diversity, it may help the album to become more memorable.
Finnr’s Cane
Finnr’s Cane
This was a dreadfully delightful album to listen to. It reminded me of a cold winter’s day that you have to traverse. Even when you are bundled up, the bite of the wind and frigid air don’t let up until you are safely at home again. In a strange way, its depressive tones were also somewhat comforting. Call that the power of music.
Yetzer Hara
Lotan
This album is deep, dark, and confidently performed, and the message they deliver is akin to the fall of humanity. Don’t enter into this listening experience lightly, because it will shake you up, disrobe you, and leave you bloody and battered by the end.
Inexorable Entropy
Escarnium
One of the best Brazilian Death Metal acts is back with an amazing release!
Spiral Crypts
Disembodiment
This Old School Death Metal really is really very good.
Surge of Cruelty
Cytolysis
This mix between Brutal Death Metal and Technical Death Metal is really very good.
Slaves of the Wolf
Bear Mace
Death Metal as it must be is found on this release!
We Got This Idea (Reissue)
Avalon
This boosted reissue from this North American Heavy Metal act is justified by the quartet's music, indeed.
Follow the Echo of Curses
Ancient Torment
A very good first coming from this North American Black Metal band.
