Purulent Apocalypse
Caustic Phlegm
PURULENCE AT ITS FINEST
Celestial Death
Cryptosis
Last time I heard this band, was as Distillator, and a pretty extreme thrash metal. […]
The Ugly Side of Me
Tetrarch
If you're looking for a new sensation into Modern Metal genres, you must hear to this North American quartet's music.
Total Maniac
Warhammer
This insane release is really very good, so let's hope it marks the band's back to its activities.
Babylons Skräck
Tyrannosatan
Wow, these guys unleashed a great release that isn't better because it's not a full-length!
Helljjin Combat
Sijjin
A fine Thrash/Death Metal kick in the face, indeed! Hear it!
Nordheim
Nordheim
A good release of Old School Black Metal is offered by this Italian band.
Echoes from a Distant Star Part 1
Exterminatus
If you're loking for a new good name on Technical/Groove Death Metal, you must now these Canadians killers.
Ritual of Ash
Ashen
A very good new Death Metal act from Australia, with a thunderous release.
Flesh Against the Void
Scarset Rebellion
Overall, this was both a thick and gross album, in every good sense of that final word. The best part is the level of confidence that the band plays with…you can tell, they have no fucks to give if you don’t like it. It is in your face, straightforward Metal bruising, with a few interesting twists along the way.
Alien Realms
Vortex
Overall, this was an excellent album within the Symphonic Death Metal genre. The production was excellent, and the band didn’t fall into the trap of pushing four identical songs for the listener, but rather they varied the presentations. There is plenty of brutality, no doubt about that, and they could plow through your worst nightmare. But the band chose to do things with taste.
The Melancholic Charm Of The Moon
Vampyriia
Overall, this was a pleasing album. Although the production could have been better, its raw qualities are common in the genre, and to keep the album within the confines of the past. There were some ghostly moments here, and this one will keep you up at night, with bad dreams.
Hymns Of Misanthropy
Cadave
CADAVER deliver an album, which is a mixture of several genres like Black Metal, Death Metal, and Thrash Metal. All is kept together by the overarching progressive sound
Hallucinations
Deathox
DEATHOX deliver a promising second album and Thrash Metal fans will be happy with that what is offered on “Hallucinations”
Eternal
Tundra
The album shows a lot of promise, but is not quite there yet. The band twists the bottom end with skilled hands, warping it into instruments of torture and death. The clean vocals however can come off a bit too gentle, and the roar of the harsh vocals are their best bet of the two.
Seduction of the Innocent
Blue Ambition
On the spectrum for AOR, this is on the gentler side…like JOURNEY, but without some of big cinematic moments or crashing crescendos. The songs are quite pleasing as well, although as an album it lacks a big punch.
The Burning Past
Wind Down
Let’s start with the positives…the band is talented, and the songs are weighted, even a bit of melody from time to time. The grooves are strong, and the production clean. But, nearly the entire album was done at the same pace…a slow, or mid-tempo one. I call this the “mid-tempo blues,” and it really holds back an album from getting off the ground.
Premonition
Needless
Their musicianship is outstanding, as is their timing, and sense of melody in creating a harrowing sound. These things are often hard to combine well. One of the best parts of the album is that they let bassist László Bánfalvi drive himself throughout, and he is animated. The structure of the songs are hardened, bit they use just enough melody to temper them well. This is a new breed of Progressive Death Metal.
Catechesis
Patristic
The best part about the band and the music, besides the black stains throughout it, is that the band gives you the illusion that they are anything goes…but that couldn’t be more wrong. Each deadly step is calculated, and performed with surgical precision. Their mashup of Death and Black metal is done with modern tendencies, even going some places that others refuse to explore, while they maintain the strong roots of Extreme Metal.
Inherited Tendencies for Self-Destruction
Embrional
Embrional has been around for a while. The band is from Poland, and belongs to […]
Affliction in Bloom
Reverya
The album feels like stepping through a forgotten portal — the familiar fading behind you, the unknown pulling you deeper in. The compositions are cloaked in a thick atmosphere of mystery, weaving together shimmering guitar lines, ghostly synths, and vocals that feel more like whispered secrets than declarations. Rather than chasing immediacy, the album thrives in lingering spaces, where haunting textures unfurl slowly, almost imperceptibly, until you're completely wrapped in their spell. It's an album that rewards surrender; it asks you not to listen passively but to lose yourself completely in its shadowy labyrinth.
Sign Of The Wolf
Sign Of The Wolf
Sign Of The Wolf the debut album is the vision of Bruce Mee of Fireworks […]
Abyssal Vacuum
Abyssal Vacuum
“Abyssal Vacuum” is only a debut insomuch as it’s the band’s first full-length. The songwriting and the execution and the production all clearly demonstrate these lads are not new to the game. Highly recommended, this one.
Keldrikojast
Soerd
“Keldrikojast,” while far from innovative or groundbreaking, is a solid debut for SOERD who already had a bit of a running start with their 2023 EP, “Mil laaned vaikivad.”
Big Trouble
Coffin Feeder
COFFIN FEEDER is indeed “Big Trouble”, as they are making me like another musical genre that I have been able to leave at the sidelines until now. But I do know that if I wish to admire a Deathcore band from now on, they have to come close or exceed the quality of COFFIN FEEDER. And that, my friends, is something a lot of the bands trying will not be able to do, because I feel that the 35 minutes of “Big Trouble” is at the top of the Deathcore game.
Sacrament of the Sick
Executionist
EXECUTIONIST has made sure that every song has a tempo you can headbang to without endangering yourself in a way that will result in your head distancing itself from your torso. This doesn’t mean they play slow, but it does mean that it never goes too fast.
Sinister Seduction
Krematorium
“Sinister Seduction” is not the heaviest Thrash Metal album you will ever encounter, but also not of one the lightest. Also, it might not be the most original album musically, the songs will still be able to enchant you in their own way. And that is what makes “Sinister Seduction” a pleasant album. Thank you KREMATORIUM.
Elegy From a Dying World
Obsidian Fall
It has to be said, for an album that OBSIDIAN FALL wrote, recorded, produced and released on their own accord, this isn’t bad at all. There is enough depth in the songs to keep it interesting.
Apex
W.E.T.
This is the fifth album from the super group W.E.T. Which is an acronym standing […]
Curling Serpents Under Stone
Onirik
Although the album paid homage to the NWOBHM, it has its own modern edges, and didn’t contain the madness we sometimes hear in the genre. Each move was calculated and detailed, and this was a good album to listen to.
Nature Morte
Matraque
Their brand of Doom is sparkled with psychedelica at times, and I believe I got a full vision of the album from five songs. The final result is that their sound is hopelessly dreadful, in every good sense of those words.
Skeleta
Ghost
The evolution of the band swings towards the Pop genre for sure on this album, but that is fine with me. It’s supposed to be about the music, not the imagery, nor the past. Take away the masks, the costumes, and everything you thought you knew about the band, and just weigh the music. No living soul can deny Papa’s penchant for towering vocal harmonies and massive hooks, and this album overflows with both. Bravo, I say, bravo.
Cinder
Lux Terminus
“Cinder” is an ascent—a journey through cascading waves of emotion, carried aloft by impeccable musicianship and a sparkling sense of undying hope. There’s a resilience to this album—a refusal to descend into despair. Even in its most subdued passages, there is always movement, always breath, always a soft promise: that dawn will come, that beauty still lingers, that hope is an eternal flame. For me, it delivers one of the most uplifting and compositionally rich musical experiences of the year.
Five
Wasted
These veterans show on this release that they still have a lot to offer to the Metal fans.
Black Respite of Oblivion
Toughness
A very good promising name in the Polish Death Metal scene.
The True Harmful Black
The Infernal Deceit
Wow, what a lovely Black/Death Metal/Blackened Death Metal release!
