Stone Cold Creature
Star Gazer
Star Gazer have been a powerful force in Melodic Rock since they were formed in […]
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.
Hollow Fangs
Oskoreien
This was an excellent Black Metal album. It didn’t rely on the formulas from the past, but rather forged its own path through the woods. Pain is very present, and you are reminded of that with every movement. But, there is also some solace, and some comfort provided on the album.
HrabnaR/Ad Vesa
Helheim
HrabnaR/Ad Vesa is the 12th studio album from Norwegian four piece black metal band Helheim […]
Songs to Sun
Stoned Jesus
This was an album that I could groove with, and one that is high with personal artistry. To call it Stoner/Doom Metal is too simple of a label, for the band has a wide variety of other elements in the music. Each song has a distinct groove, and hook, and the impression lingers long after the album is played through.
Destroyer of Worlds
Kaupe
Like KARMA TO BURN, but more inventive, and with keyboards and more energy, KAUPE brings a good deal of style to the Instrumental Metal genre. They are excellent musicians, and you don’t have to work very hard to understand what they are getting across.
Wasteland Requiem
Dominant Chain
Dominant Chain is a progressive metal band from Finland. Wasteland Requiem (will be released on […]
All My Gods Are Dying
Amenspear
Overall, this album got better for me as it moved along, and it seems that Steve found the sound he was looking for…a combination of Black Metal, Doom Metal, and even some Psychedelic Metal. It has piqued my interest, and I have bookmarked the band.
Where I Am the Chalice, Be Thou the Blood
Devilpriest
Polish Metal Scene has a new contender to the throne. I present to you Devilpriest!
Naevus
Back Home
“Back Home” is a helluva album by a helluva a band. A must-have for Stoner Doom fans.
Face Me Now
The Great Alone
While THE GREAT ALONE isn’t necessarily metal, they are heavy, and they are good. “Face Me Now,” definitely one to check out.
Forbidden Morals
Void
Musically there is one thing for sure; if you like it straight forward without any side-tracking you should skip “Forbidden Morals” as it is like an ADHD patient that has consumed too much caffeine.
Force From the Grave
Verdalack
The riffs, breaks and tempo changes are available in abundance with VERDALACK. And the tempo usually is quite high, to the fact that I was almost considering to call this music High Speed Metal.
Dark Believer
Martyr
After their very impressive 2022 album “Planet Metalhead” they have more inspiration and now are giving us “Dark Believer”, their sixth studio album in total. And if you have heard or do own any of their former albums, I can put your mind at ease, as MARTYR have taken off where they left it all last time
Solastalgia
Heretoir
This album looms, building its monolithic soundscapes with patience, tension, and purpose. It’s a towering testament to the genre, reminds us that heaviness isn’t just about distortion or speed…it’s about atmosphere, intent, and emotional gravity. For those willing to surrender to its slow, deliberate pull, the reward is profound…a visceral, cathartic experience that leaves you feeling drained and full at once. The album proves that post-metal is an emotional process, carved in distortion and silence, weight and restraint.
A Solitary Vigil
Phobetor
“A Solitary Vigil” dives deep into the waters of traditional Death Metal with blackened Death Metal twists built upon a grim and sometimes melancholic melodic framework
Ice And Death
Reinforcer
“Ice And Death” is a traditional Heavy Metal, album and it offers solid guitar riffs, catchy and at times dark melodies, and excellent lead guitar contributions and solos
Charming The Decomposed
Retching
Retching have done more then just Charmed The Decomposed with this debut.
Moon: Precursor
Hellir
This isn’t your dad’s brand of Black Metal. It’s fresh, modern, and cuts against the grain. The Djenty riff accents bring a level of weight to the album that just doesn’t exist in most Black Metal circles, and if this is just a precursor, I can’t wait to hear what is next.
Dealers Of Doom
Accvsed
Somehow German Metalcore bands have the real ability to sound so angry that you feel that they are in danger of coughing out their intestines in the process. This is certainly the case with ACCVSED from Wiesbaden, who have deemed it time to try and through us off our normal behaviour and disturb the peace and quiet with their debut album “Dealers Of Doom”.
Dreamlike Tales
Divni San
What’s in a name. I just can’t envision what DIVNI SAN should mean. If you look it up on your AI, it will tell you that it comes from the Slavic languages and means something like Marvelous Dream. What I can tell you is that it is a Heavy Metal band from Brussels, Belgium and was founded in 2021 by ex-members of MIDRANGE.
A Beginning
Dreams Of Gray
DREAMS OF GRAY is actually a one-man-band, and i have to say that if one man is capable of making this level of music, i would like to the man collaborate with like-minded people. Who knows what might come out next.
From the Grave
Iron Spell
The songs on “From the Grave” themselves are all very pleasant, have that ability get you tapping your foot, nodding your head, but also have the diversity and differences plus the breaks that make them all sound just that different from the other ones, while maintain the cohesion in sound that will make you realise that yes, you still are listening to the same IRON SPELL throughout the whole album.
Me And All My Demons
Jawfane
What began as a group of friends secretly writing together has evolved into an immersive musical force that defies easy categorization. Though rooted in metal-core and hardcore sensibilities, the band refuses to be pigeonhole into a single genre.
Actuality
Inoculation
INOCULATION formed in 2011 (Way before the recent Inoculations) in Cleveland, Ohio, emerging from guitarist/vocalist […]
The Cycles of Extinctions
Old Machines
This is a very talented band, and they turn over every stone, rock, and boulder on the album. Extreme Cosmic Metal? For sure…I would also add “Epic” in front of that, due to the nature of the songs and the band’s ability to create these soundscapes. Even for as complicated as the album is, it is quite easy for the listener to assimilate.
