Absraction
Dysylumn
This album sounds like a collision between infernal fire and the void of deep space, where the raw, scorched essence of Black Metal meets the cold, infinite reach of the cosmos. It’s a paradox made audible: visions of Hell twisted into sound, but refracted through the lens of starlight and vacuum. It’s Black Metal that transcends its own boundaries, part ritual, part exploration, as if Hell itself has been launched into orbit. The result is both majestic and terrifying, a soundtrack to oblivion where the line between celestial beauty and absolute ruin no longer exists.

OutLaw
Newbreed
It seems as if NEWBREED re-wrote the book on how much music can be both comforting and jarring at the same time. They play with a fierce abandon…the kind that throws convention out the window along with the bathwater. Yet, each move seems calculated, amidst a sea of whatever might come their way. It’s Metal, in every sense of that word, but they aren’t afraid to bend the boundaries to the point of almost snapping. Consummate musicians, they almost seem to stroll through the album and come out clean on the other end of a maelstrom.
Vermian Death
Grave Hex
“Vermian Death” is a doom-laden offering of devastating guitar riffs, gruelling basslines, and growls coming straight out from hell
Wretched Decrepitude
Caesarean
“Wretched Decrepitude” ranges somewhere between brutal Death Metal and Hardcore. Most of the tracks are very aggressive with simple and direct guitar riffing, plenty of blast-beats, and crushing basslines
London Sessions
The Old Dead Tree
It’s somewhat difficult to get a vibe from an album through just four songs, but the emotions of the music hit me the most. For me, it was like Modern Metal with Goth leanings more than anything else, but genre labels be damned. There is just something special about French musicians, and this is a band you need to keep your eye on.
Ochre & Ash
Fauna
If I think on that album cover and I close my eyes and just let the music take me, I can smell the smoke rolling off the fire, feel the sting of the night frost, sense the ancients in the air.
Nihil Morte Certium
Nihili Locus
“Nihil Morte Certium” has been 24 years in the making. It documents the trajectory of NIHILI LOCUS as well as the eras of extreme metal which they were not only a part of but helped to shape.
Nincs Szennyezetlen Szép
The Devil’s Trade
One of the things I appreciate most about the album is a deep darkness and tension that runs through every song. It is held just below the surface and out of view, but it is real. Mostly depressive, but sometimes defiant, the album will hold your interest.
Arise
Omnivide
There is no doubt in my mind; I really like what OMNIVIDE does on “Arise”. This certainly is Death Metal from start to finish, but the way they have been able io incorporate the Progressive Metal inspirations, rhythms, breaks and parts is nothing less than impressive.
Stare Into The Seething Wounds
Extortionist
Musically I can’t fault “Stare Into The Seething Wounds”, as EXTORTIONIST is doing everything right. They go from fast and furious to slow, deliberate and emotional within seconds.
Fate Weaver
Typhus
If I had to write a conclusion in a few short words , it would be that “Fate Weaver” is a solid album that will appeal to a lot of lovers of Heavy, Power and Speed Metal. If TYPHUS works on their writing and is able to improve with time, I feel that they can reach a really big audience.
IDSUNGWÜSSÄ
Abraham
The album crawls from the speakers like a living wound…dark, and filthy. Listening feels less like experiencing music and more like enduring an ordeal…a descent into a pit where pain and madness blur together. It seems chaotic, but it’s a deliberate architecture of horror that transforms suffering into expression. This is not music for comfort or catharsis. It’s music that drags you through filth to remind you what darkness truly feels like, a portrait of anguish painted in noise and decay.
Primordial Reverie
Cepheidae Variable
This was a solid album to listen to. Without vocals, the artist has to work harder to convey his feelings and emotions in his music, and Ryan did that well. Many of the melodies you can hum or sing along with, and that’s a testament to the instrumental album.
A Liminal Step
Feather Mountain
This was an excellent album, with a varied approach to each song. The band are consummate musicians, and they hit every nuance and nook and cranny in the music with impeccable timing, The music sometimes took unexpected turns at times, but always kept me engaged. I can’t help think more about how they described the album…”a magical antidote in a world full of chaos,” because that’s how the sound came across for me.
Dusketha
Goad
“Dusketha” is a double album with over 116 minutes of music. It is Progressive Rock/Pop, and definitely not Metal, so if you’re expecting Heavy and/or distorted guitars, pounding rhythms and intricate structures and songs, you’re not going to get it.
The Quest For The Sacred Melody
Armoured Knight
“The Quest For The Sacred Melody” has speed and momentum, as the songs are rather good. Yes, this has all been done before, but somehow the musicality of the tunes does give you that edge that makes you listen just that little sharper, that piques your interest whereas others just don’t.
Night Danger
Revenge
REVENGE is a Heavy Metal band in the old fashioned sense, but they are able to spice up their sound by adding as many Speed Metal parts and rhythms as possible. It gives the music on “Night Danger” a lively and inspiring sound.
Sterveling
Sterveling
The tension on this album is through the roof, and they throw all Black Metal convention out of the window to build something different in the genre. It’s bold, daring, and cold, as any lightless journey should be.
Torment Beyond Comprehension
Pandemic Outbreak
There can be no bones about that what PANDEMIC OUTBREAK has produced on “Torment Beyond Comprehension” is above reproach. If you don’t get what I’m saying, simply put I can say that this is bloody good indeed!
Remnants Of Horror: The Final Cut
Percussor
PERCUSSOR plays fast most of the time. And that all sounds fine.
La tríada dels idiotes
Burghâsh
First, a note that it takes a lot for an artist to get his music released by a label, and as a reviewer and a consumer, I appreciate that. That said, these three songs were very poorly produced (perhaps at his request?) and there is not much I can champion about the music.
Morbid Odyssey
Sadistic Force
The name of the band, SADISTIC FORCE, has been chosen wisely, as this is one of the finest forms of torture that you will ever come across within the Metal genres. “Morbid Odyssey” is an amalgamation of five forms of torment that will have you trying to find a way to escape, only to experience the feeling of emptiness when it all ends.
III: Frühling
Wehmut
This album takes the listener on a journey that is sometimes rocky, and other times calm, and mirrors the seasons of your lives. Torture, anguish, and feeling like you want to jump out of your own skin are common, yet through it all, a string of hope remains threaded into the album. It’s moving, cathartic, and satisfying in the end.
IV: The Serpent’s Coil
Sublime Eyes
This album was INTENSE. In the annals of the genre, the band chose to take the more pure road of mostly aggressive Death Metal where the guitar harmonies provide the melody, not clean vocals nor keyboards or the like. This is an uncompromising approach to the genre, by a clearly uncompromising band, ready to tackle new territory.
Winds of Time
Wings of Steel
The term “Let the music do the talking” has never been more apropos than for WINGS OF STEEL and the release of their highly anticipated new album “Winds of Time”, where nostalgic old school metal meets innovative and vibrant new overtones to create a musical euphoria.
Inevitable Death
Evocatus
In the ever-expanding spectrum of Melodeath, this album is more on the traditional side. There are no keyboards, and very little clean vocals. They prefer to keep things cleaner. That said, it was still an excellent listen for me. The guitar work was a highlight for me. It was intricate, harmonic, and the band has an excellent sense of timing.

Bitter Lucid Truth
Valletta
I’m not gonna lie, I wish there was more of this. It’s primal, raw, and fun to listen to all at the same time. When you listen to it, you just get the feeling that they are having a grand old time with recording and performing these songs, and sometimes this feeling gets lost in the music industry today.
Herezjarcha
Profane Elegy
“Herezjarcha” demonstrates a heightened level of songwriting and an impressive agility with shifts from the chaotic to the ordered. With an expanded lineup their trajectory has hit a serious upward inflection.
Remorse of Conscience
Agenbite Misery
An outstanding artifact of Blackened Experimental metal. Highly recommended to that not-so-rare intersection of literature geeks and metalheads.
The Monkey
High on Wheels
This was a fantastic album. It didn’t break any barriers or tread new ground necessarily, but the sound was genuine, honest, and punishing. Insert any euphemism you want…a swift kick to the teeth…a gritty punch in the balls…whatever it was, it will wake you up in the morning.
Merged In Abstract Perdition
Undersave
The sound of “Merged In Abstract Perdition” is technical with progressive elements and plenty of twists and turns in tempo and rhythm, all based on a grim melodic framework
