Unreachable Mountain
Sír
Overall, this wasn’t a bad album per se, it just never really got off the ground. Doom can be quite exciting, if done carefully. This album was just middle of the road for me.
Wearisome Guardians
Dwelling Below
Overall, this was a dreadfully dissonant and hopeless affair, and what it lacked in diversity, it made up for in torture. By the end, you can feel you soul twisted into something that barely looks human. If you dare, take the plunge, but be warned…you will emerge something that you are not.
Queen Of Crows
Temtris
“Queen Of Crows” offers powerful guitar riffs, great lead guitar solos, a good mixture between heaviness and melodic parts as well as between traditional and modern Heavy Metal elements
Stormrage
Alterium
“Stormrage” delivers traditional Power Metal elements combined with modern orchestral arrangements
Axioms
Wucan
WUCAN takes some twists and turns with “Axioms” that might throw some listeners off, but the band stays true to their vision and refuses to stand still.
Emellan Träden
Jord
With “Emellan Träden,” JORD maintains the momentum and trajectory they established with their 2023 “Tundra.” This might be their best to date.
Atomicult
Slomatics
You gotta love a band whose name exactly describes what they sound like. “Atomicult” is another sledgehammer to the solar plexus from the heaviest band in Belfast.
Malicious Acropolis Unveiled
Perishing
This wasn’t a bad album by any stretch of the imagination, it just failed to launch from the pad it was grounded on. It relied too much on past formulas and didn’t really offer anything new to the genre. I would encourage the band to take more chances next time.
Immortal
Dream Legacy
Dream Legacy are a rock band from Stuttgart who are influenced by the 80’s and […]
Ritual of Split Tongues
Drofnosura
This was an album that will wear down the listener, even those with a great constitution, to the point where the burden on your back grow so large, it crushes you under its weight.
Higabana
Sundrowned
This is an album that is crushing and breathes freely at the same time…a difficult feat for a bad to accomplish. The songs create this sort of ache that you can’t get to…and itch that can’t be scratched. They keep the listener suspended between two worlds…the world of darkness and pain, and the world of light and hope.
Fast Lane
Alpha Destroyer
Alpha Destroyer is a new supergroup featuring of Martin Sweet (Crash Diet),Kelly Lemieux of Buckcherry […]
Navigate
Traversus
Sometimes you like to listen something that isn’t going top blow your brains out, or that will have you on edge all of the time. Then you just want something more light-hearted, but still sounding good. Well, I found something that just fits that bill with TRAVERSUS.
Perverseverance
Zubzero
I can’t help but express my desire to be able to listen to a whole full-length album of good music of this quality. ZUBZERO have surpassed anything they have done in the past and should be ready to go out into the world and collect the praise that they deserve.
Years Of Chaos
Theriac
What surprises me more than anything is that with what THERIAC has laid down on tape and given to the Thrash Metal world I am rather confused as to why the band never got a record deal during those years that they were active. The quality of the songs is more than adequate, the way they play their Thrash Metal is eclectic, or if you will, chaotic.
Snake Island
Frightmare
Singer Brian Miller is also active in the band BURNT OFFERINGS, so if the name rings a bell that would make sense. He also is the only original member in the band. The rest came along on 2020. Well, this FRIGHTMARE album “Snake Island” is more of a compilation that houses the most current releases that the band brought into the world.
The Devil to Pay in the Backlands
Jack The Joker
I haven’t heard an album as rich as this in a while, and one of the best parts of the album is that I can’t decide what I like better…the massive voice of Raphael, the sheer prowess of guitarist Felipe, the bass wizardry of Gustavo, or the pinpoint accuracy of drummer Vicenete. The fact is, they are work together in nearly perfect synergy, and the album, while a masterful feat of technicality, is just so damn fun to listen to.
All Powers of Darkness
Medieval Demon
Overall, this frightening album was evil incarnate, if ever there were such a thing. The band uses various backing elements together with guitars and vocals to create a massive, twisted beast that used to live in the shadows, but has now stepped into the light. It is so hideous, one gaze into its foul eyes will reduce you to ash.
Passage Of Time
August Life
AUGUST LIFE is able to incorporate sounds like no other, and have the ability to sound as impressive when they tone it down as well as when they go for broke.
Band Of Brothers
Warmen
I don’t think that before this one WARMEN ever came this close to the original sound of CHILDREN OF BODOM as they have succeeded in doing now.
Catch the Endless Dawn
Temptress
A great Old School Metal release from this Italian trio, but a better production is needed on the next time.
Pathos
Path to Purgatory
Wow, what great mix between Melodic Death Metal, Melodic Black Metal and more is offered by this Portuguese quartet!
Altar of Brutality
Mörtual
A very good first coming from this Death Metal act.
667788
Lommi
A fine mix of influences of Rock 'n' Roll, Hard Rock, Metal and more can be found here! Dive in!
K
King
Wow, what very good Black/Death Metal release from this Colombian quartet!
Destination Extinction
Haggus
This Grindcore/Grindgore album isn't only brutal, but funny as well.
Cascading Misery
Ritual Mass
Although the album was mostly within the Death Metal genre for me, there were some Black Metal elements present as well. I found the album to be exactly as advertised…a slow march towards death, and the filthy production contributed to this feeling.
Christus Venari
Infernal Thorns
Overall, this was a good listen for me. It didn’t break down any barriers necessarily, but you have to marvel at the band’s talent for pulling off so many tight passages without missing a bit. And, to boot, it’s plenty hard and aggressive.
From Amber To Sun
Pilgrimage
On “From Amber To Sun” the band has just over 48 minutes, divided over eight songs, to make you take notice. And musically the band have it all thought out. The songs are all on a proper level, have just the right elements to be called Doom Metal, but also offer enough variety to prevent you from feeling that you are constantly listening to the same song over and over.
Echoes of History
Unpunished
As “Echoes of History” is just an EP, I can’t really tell you if I think that UNPUNISHED is going places, whether they have the capacity to break through all the barriers and make it big. What I can tell you is that when it comes to the music that I am hearing on this EP, I am convinced that if they can keep or even improve on the quality of the songs in comparison to what is on “Echoes of History”, they have a fighting chance.
Intense Indifference
Vittra
The VITTRA album “Intense Indifference” will not be offering you any new insights, but what it will do is emphasize that if a band knows how to incorporate the right sounds and vibes into their music, they are capable of producing a very strong album.
Zwischenwelten
Rauhnächt
This was a decent Black Metal album…nothing overly special, but it did make a mark on both the rage and hopeless categories, which can indeed coexist. My only real critique would be for the band to take a few more chances on the next album, and forge their own path ahead.
Human
Tales of Mike
Tales of Mike is a doom metal project by Michael Heß. The new album, Human, […]
Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig)
Black Moon Cult
Black Moon Cult’s "Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig)" is a trip well worth the price of admission.
Rise of the Ruler
Mob Rules
MOB RULES has been devastating the eardrums of true heavy metal fans for over three decades. With Rise of the Ruler they show zero intention of stopping anytime soon.
Melena
Lucynine
If you aren’t aware, the genre boundaries for Black Metal are very wide these days. Each song on “Melena” feels like a journey into the unknown, unpredictable and unnerving, yet always purposeful. Dissonant chords stab through moments of haunting calm, blast beats erupt like storms, and subtle progressive flourishes twist the path further, ensuring the listener never feels safe. It’s rare to hear a Black Metal album this frightening that also demonstrates such compositional control. The band proves they are not just conjurers of atmosphere, but master songwriters who can bend structure and complexity to their will without sacrificing raw intensity.
