Sun After Dark is a project by Benjamin König from Germany. Benjamin König was a […]
The Battles I Have Won
Reflection
An album that feels refreshing and brings you to every corner of the Metal spectrum, yet feeling like something special even at the first listening.
Toujours Humain
Creatvre
“Tourjous Humain” is a searing slab of metal, grinding forward like a rusted machine coming alive in a storm, its engine built on distortion, repetition, and complex tasks. What makes this record more than just a wall of sonic abrasion is the strange humanity that breathes through its fractured surfaces. What’s most striking is how personal this mechanical monstrosity feels. For all its concrete and steel, this is an album about survival, and finding rhythm inside the noise, and letting yourself breathe even when the air is poisoned.
God of the Tribes
Kratornas
The music was energetic, and hyper, and I too don’t appreciate overly depressive music, especially in the Black Metal genre. Call this album unique, that’s for sure, and If you can deal with chaos and dissonance, this album is for you.
Venetian Dark
Pridian
“Venetian Dark” stands tall as a modern testament to Metalcore’s staying power: relentlessly aggressive, rhythmically precise, and shot through with just enough melody to add depth without softening the blow. This isn’t melody-forward metalcore. This is power-first metalcore, where melody exists not to soothe, but to sharpen the edges. It’s a reminder that the genre doesn’t need to compromise its aggression to be dynamic. It just needs to know when to let its claws show and when to let the blood drip.
Haltioissaan
Veljessurma
This Finnish Black Metal act is really very good, but must work with a better producer next time.
Ignite the Skies
Space Chaser
Thrash on with this melodic Thrash Metal attack from these German slashers!
Vs The World
Poison The Preacher
Wow, these guys are up to blow the world into pieces with this Thrash Metal/Crossover release!
Who Killed the World?
Gurnslinger
This quartet mix a lot of musical influences in a coherent and excellent form. And the result is this release.
Geysterzvvang
Drudensang
A good Black Metal act, but that needs a better sonority in the future releases.
Dystopian Putrescence
Dissonant Seepage
A good band with potential, but must sharp its efforts in the future.
Det eviga och den döde
Dos
Some people talk about a concept called “the burning cold,” which is a poetic or metaphorical phrase that describes an intense, paradoxical sensation—cold so extreme that it feels like burning. It's often used to capture the sharp, biting nature of freezing temperatures, where the skin can sting or ache, much like it does when exposed to heat. That sums up the sound on the album perfectly for me.

Phantom Fire
Phantom Fire
A heavy blues and black metal based album, the thick bass notes are one of the best parts of the album. The band settles on a heavy riff, and just drives it home, like a rocket returning to earth. It isn’t anything overly original, but it comes from the heart, and few bands can rock this much energy in their music.
Shades of Life
The Bleak Picture
The overly emotional nature of the music is what grabs me first, and that is a difficult thing to attain when the vocals are so harsh, and so guttural. They build a landscape that reminds me of endless rainy days, where the sun doesn’t even peak out for a moment. This was indeed a very bleak painting, with various shades of color throughout it.
Windows Drenched in Red
Blood Brain Barrier
From Bandcamp, “Windows Drenched in Red” is the visceral debut from BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER—a conceptual […]
Prayer By the Edge
Six Feet Deeper
Hard Rock with a sometimes Bluesy undertone, whilst on other occasions it will be more Rock or even Metal. What does become quite clear is that we are dealing with a very talented group of musicians within SIX FEET DEEPER. They are able to write good songs, that have a bucketload of emotions paired with very good instrumentals.
Everyone For Themselves
Our North
Sheffield hard hitters, OUR NORTH, have been serving up their enticing brand of Metalcore, fused with Hip Hop and Trap, since their formation in 2019. Channelling everyone from BRING ME THE HORIZON and WHILE SHE SLEEPS to BAD OMENS, OUR NORTH unleash a sound that is soaked in power, venom, diversity, and passion. I just hear LINKIN PARK with the heavier parts using a grunt or scream that is a bit more extreme.
Trapped
Hammer
But let’s get back to “Trapped”. It is Extreme Metal indeed, because if I would have to try and classify it in any other way I wouldn’t have been able to, even if my life depended on it. Yes, you will get Groove Metal, Death Metal, Punk, Hardcore, Grindcore and Sludge in there somewhere, but none of those fit the bill, so by branding it Extreme Metal the band is talking it easy on us listeners and reporters.
Veins of Sulfur
Starlit Pyre
This was a promising EP from a new player from France in the Melodic Death Metal genre, and there is still a lot to discover. In this genre, you can add clean vocals, keyboards, and other elements, or you can just keep things more traditional without clean vocals or other things to take away from its purity. STARLIT PYRE have taken the second, more traditional path.
Resurrection
Do Or Die
Well, if you were wondering whether DO OR DIE is still a Hardcore band, any doubt you might have had will have disappeared after a few seconds, as this is like anything they have done before; Hard, Heavy, Hardcore, Uncompromising. The sound is relentless, which really works with the almost hysterical sounding vocals.
Megamantra
Black Magnet
Overall, the album seemed to encompass several styles of music, keeping it alive and constantly moving, including Punk, Sludge, Industrial, and Hardcore. I also found the album nearly exactly as advertised…harsh and infectious at the same time. I understand why the songs are on the shorter side, because they are packed full of density. This was a swift kick in the teeth.
Fyr
Gaupa
And just like that I have a new favorite band.
Dream and Violence
Killjoy
Personally, I’d count this as a demo.
Gamma II
Alfa Pentatonik
This was a solid EP. Through five songs, they band presents a firm weight with the music and vocals, but also some playful electronics. The album is well balanced in that regard. My interest in the band was piqued through five cuts, and I look forward to hearing a long play from here.
Rituals
Demeted
After three years of silence, DEMETED return with force, breaking through the stillness with their […]
I Am Chaos
Chaos Unleashed
“I Am Chaos” offers a mixture of modern and traditional Thrash Metal elements with a few Hardcore twists
Humanihility
Vader
“Humanihility“ is a delivery of Death Metal excellence enriched with plenty of classical Thrash Metal vibes
Dawn Of Destruction
Lucille
LUCILLE deliver traditional Thrash Metal at high quality and intensity. “Dawn Of Destruction” has pace, aggression, flesh-ripping guitar riffing, and chilling melodies
Only When It Rains
Twist Of Fate
Twist Of Fate was started around the summer of 1994. The founding members were, Tim […]
The Fates Key
Blades Edge

Repoka
Dusk
The EP was basically three songs and a cover, but I felt like I got a good hard look into the album. It could have been the accompanying soundtrack to the movie Hostel. That’s how creepy and tortuous it sounded. They crushed the bottom end of each song, and I would be very interested to hear what they release next.
Port Inspiro
Heathens Eye
Heathens Eye is a new Swedish Melodic Metal band which draws many different influences from […]
The Radiant Vale
Hemelbestormer
This was a positively doomed album that reveled in tones of grey, black, and stank of death…that cancerous smell is something you can never get out of your nostrils. They displayed a life of loneliness, hopelessness, and regret, to which there is no going back.
