To Lay Siege and Conquer
Blasphemous
I can’t say “To Lay Siege and Conquer” is a terribly inventive album, but it is consistent. If you like your Blackened Death Metal with no spoiler influences like Symph or Atmospheric, this album might be your poison.
Blood Worship Extremism
Nigrum
“Blood Worship Extremism” delivers exactly what it promises: blood worship extremism—all wrapped up in lo-fi, brutal FW Black Metal.
Sad Plight of Lucifer
Konkhra
KONKHRA is a death metal band from Denmark, who formed in 1990. Somehow, I have […]
Fœhn
Unholdun
All in all, UNHOLDUN’s “Fœhn,” is a solid if unremarkable album. It provides an entertaining 42 minutes of bleak, frozen black metal but after the ride is over, there isn’t much reason for a return trip.
Psalmus Mortis
Retromorphosis
One thing that is immediately noticeable about the album is the fact that it is steeped in the deep traditions of the genre, but it refuses to remain there. They band uses a modern approach to the music, and their technical mastery is strong. For me, it’s model of how modern Death Metal bands should be.
Utopia
Silent Winter
Power Metal galore.
Oceans
Talia Hoit
The best part about the album is Talia’s voice. It is gentle, strong when it needs to be, and she has a near perfect pitch. I also like the concept that the album is centered around. Some areas of constructive criticism center mostly around the overuse of this style of music. It has been done so many times that in today’s market, you need to change whatever pieces you can to keep it sounding original. In this case, it is just overly formulated…almost a “symphonic metal by the numbers” type of sound.
Descent Into Lunacy
Cryptorium
“Descent Into Lunacy” is an old school Death Metal hammering, direct, aggressive, brutal, and bone-chilling
Pathways
Serpent Fire
“Pathways” is a melodic delivery of dynamic and versatile guitar riffs and solos, as well as prominent keyboards offering a solid melodic framework
Grand Cosmic Funeral
Thy Legion
This was an excellent album, that combined the might and power of blackened Death Metal with enough somber tones to bury even the brightest soul. Fans of the band will like their commitment to their craft, and they will no doubt win over some new fans with this horrid and hopeless sound.
Scorched Earth
Harakiri For The Sky
Few albums manage to straddle the fragile line between hope and despair with such poignant grace as this one. It pulls listeners into a world where light and darkness collide in a breathtaking dance, while it feels like standing on the precipice of a storm—where the winds of optimism fight against the inevitable weight of encroaching doom. This looming sense of doom never overpowers, but rather serves as a stark reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is a flicker of light worth fighting for. This is an album that demands to be felt as much as it is heard, a cathartic journey for anyone standing on the edge of their own abyss.
The Eleventh Hour
No Favors
No Favors are a UK band from Stoke, which is close to the city […]
In Service of the Dead
Sentient Horror
Without reinventing Death Metal, these guys created a very good release.
Hail To The King
Voodoo Circle
From Germany Voodoo Circle bring us studio album number seven “Hail To The King”. […]
Malignancy
Onslaught Kommand
If you love extreme music at its most natural form, the Death/Grindcore work of this Chilean quartet is for you.
Leatherhead
Leatherhead
A good new and promising Speed Metal act from Greece.
Inner Self
In We Fall
This Portuguese Alternative Metal/Rock quartet understands what to expand limits means.
Stillness and Trust
Ifall
WOW, once again IFALL comes to defy rules and astonish the hearers!
Strange and Beautiful Things
Dying Hydra
Some lessons about how to create a fine Sludge Metal release can be found on this Swedish trio's work.
Shadowlight
Defences
This band offers a very good mix of Modern Metal tendencies.
Saga of the North
Þrymr
Overall, this was an original album that was both creative and thoughtful, and the journey that Trym took the listeners on was filled with sorrow, tears, resolve, hope, and even some joy.
Nine Ties
Underdogs
After a long hiatus, from 2015 to 2022, the band UNDERDOGS is back with their […]
Agent Of Chaos
Shadows Decay
Good Thrash from Costa Rica.
Apocrypha
Exiled Hope
From a music steaming/pre-order save site called Substack, here is what author Sofia Frasz has […]
Songs for the Dying
Against I
This wasn’t a bad album per se, it just suffered from the same sickness that plagues many metal bands today…an overuse of old formulas, and an unwillingness to break away from the norm. Some Metalheads crave this lever of consistency, but as a long time reviewer and avid consumer of music, I expect more.
Second Wound
Ploughshare
PLOUGHSHARE is a black/death metal band from Australia that hit the scene in 2017 with […]
Maleficium - Part 1
Panzerchrist
PANZERCHRIST
is a band that has always been very dependable, providing one solid release after another. Much remains the same for this latest album–while it certainly isn’t mind blowing or trying to reinvent the wheel, it’s a solid effort from a band that is the definition of “what you see is what you get.” With that being said it’s infectious and engaging enough to take a return trip.
Afterlife
Planet Of Zeus
Good Metal from Greece.
Solaris
Distant Past
Altogether I recommend this album on two fronts: First for giving true homage to an often-forgotten sci-fi pioneer; Second, for sticking to their mission of delivering solid metal recalling the glorious distant past.
The Insurrectionists and the Caretakers
Auriferous Flame
For all the Extreme Black Metal true believers out there, I highly recommend this one
Death Descending
Death Descending
The album clocks in at under 10 minutes of total playing time, but it has a promising sound that I would love to hear more of. He created a very bleak and somber landscape that is definitely worth exploring more.
Smash Atoms
Smash Atoms
Grunge is back, according to SMASH ATOMS, a new four piece band from Gothenburg, Sweden. […]
Tombs Of The Blind Dead
Summoning Death
"Tombs Of The Blind Dead” offers an outstanding mixture of brutality and darkness, inspired by a Swedish chainsaw sound of the guitars, relentless drumming, and brutal deep-lying growling vocals
Formae Mentis
Just Reborn
“Formae Mentis” is a unique symphonic Metal album with a strong classical/neo-classical melodical basis
Under Siege
Damaged
I can’t help but think that if DAMAGED would have had just that bit of luck, they could have made quite the impression, because I really like what I am hearing. The songs are strong, powerful and full of variety without ever losing face of the fact that they need to imprint themselves on the audience. And they do. “Under Siege” is good stuff.
Chainsaw Anthems
Explorer
I can only say that I am still enjoying listening to “Chainsaw Anthems”, as it does give me an insight onto another piece of the Heavy Metal history of the Lowlands. And that is something I as a real Metalhead will always treasure.
