Megalit al putrefacției

Putred

A good Death Metal release of a band that can do better than is shown.

Reborn & ReForged

Ice Howl

A very good Doom Metal/NWOTHM release, indeed.

Exxekratus

Dysangelium

And the German Black Metal breeds another very good name!

Prophecy

Edge Of Paradise

A fine mix between Modern Metal, Metal and Symphonic Metal is heard on this album.

Wrath and Ruin

Warbringer

Be prepared, because the North American Thrash Metal war machine is back, and furious!

Where Spirit Withers In Its Flesh Constraint

Hexecutor

Bon métal de France.

Profane Altar

Act of Impalement

Act of Impalement is new for me, but the band has been around since 2012. […]

Ethereal

Blaxem

South America never disappoints.

The Harrow of the Lost

Ahamkara

The album is rich, aggressive, and also brimming with hope from the melody. The band seems to have exceeded that balance with complex songwriting that doesn’t take away the listener’s ability to soak it in. This was an excellent album.

Affliction Vortex

Dawn Of Solace

I have listened to this album like a maniac, not because I love it, but […]

Into the Void

Xenotrone

23 minutes of “Into The Void” are beautiful, colourful, divers and bloody good. XENOTRONE is a trio of very good musicians that have the ability to write bloody good songs.

Triumviro

The 7th Guild

Let me start by saying that the Metal evolution has passed the people in THE 7TH GUILD by without them noticing, because if you had told me that this was an old album being rereleased, I would have taken you at your word.

Journey to the Sun

Kilmara

The sound on “Journey to the Sun” is impeccable. Producer Seeb Levermann (a.o. Orden Ogan, Angus MCSIX, Rhapsody Of Fire, Riot V) has done a brilliant job in catching the right vibes to make listening to this KILMARA album quite easy.

Endless Scorn

Injector

INJECTOR varies the heaviness and speeds from ultra speed to mid-tempo, and they do all of that just at the right times, making you on your toes. Your attention span doesn’t get the chance to tone itself down. Let alone diminish. Once you think it gets predictable, they throw another positive spanner in the works.

The Spires of Chaos

Nefirum

Nefirum comes from the U.S.A. and play a form of Scandinavian black metal. A form […]

The Redeemers Festering Carcass

Gryla

The Redeemer’s Festering Carcass will be released by Iron Bonehead on March 21st, on LP […]

Ashen Womb

Phrenelith

The Danish underground, has under the last ten years, really become something to check up. […]

I Am Death

Bloodstain

“I Am Death” has many elements of traditional Thrash Metal like the guitar riffing, the pace, and partially the aggression. Highlights of the EP are the many excellent lead guitar solos

We Belong In The Grave

Crypts Of Despair

“We Belong In The Grave” is a fine mixture of brutal Death Metal and Deathcore, driven by punishing guitar riffs and relentless drumming. The album is an excellent blend of grim atmospheres and aggressive pummelling of the listener

Desolation Freeway

Craig Brooks

Craig Brooks (Touch & American Tears) continued to write songs and also record after the […]

Becoming The Enemy

Trishula

Trishula are a British Melodic Hard Rock Band which were formed by guitarist, vocalist and […]

Thlipsis

THLIPSIS’s self-titled debut offers a view of the band in their raw, unadulterated form four years ago. If you like 2025 THLIPSIS, you’re likely to appreciate 2021 THLIPSIS.

Eldritch

Emissary

EMISSARY definitely lean into Thrash with maybe a bit of Death, but there is also a pirate inflection going on which makes it difficult to take the cosmic horror theme too seriously.

Violent Vacation

THRAXAS!

Was formed in Sydney, Australia by guitarist and vocalist Bull Woods in 2012. They did […]

God Of The Godless

Temple of Dread

In a realm where darkness meets artistry, Florida’s Temple of Dread emerges as a formidable force in Death Metal with their latest opus, God of the Godless. This 2024 album is a masterful blend of raw brutality and atmospheric nuance—a journey that transcends mere nostalgia for the genre’s early days while simultaneously paying homage to its visceral origins.

Parasite

Untervoid

Untervoid’s 2024 LP Parasite is an ambitious, progressive foray into the depths of Black Metal, melding a raw intensity with a meticulously crafted atmosphere that leaves an indelible mark on the listener’s psyche. Hailing from Poland, this band continues to redefine the genre with an approach that is at once brutally aggressive and hauntingly poetic. Throughout the album, one encounters a soundscape that is both expansive and claustrophobic, where every note serves as a gateway into a realm of existential despair and transcendence.

Noble Art of Desolation

The Great Sea

“Noble Art of Desolation” does not leave the listener with relief—it leaves them numb, hollow, and haunted. This is an album that doesn’t just sound dark—it feels like darkness itself, an experience so intense and consuming that it lingers long after the music has stopped. It is mentally exhaustive in every sense, and for those willing to endure it, it is also unforgettable.

Pink Noise Youth

SVNTH

This is not music that settles into one feeling; it is an album that lives in the tension between them, where grief fuels rebellion, where pain and resilience are inseparable, and where every song feels like a battle between destruction and redemption. In the end, it does not leave the listener broken, but neither does it offer false comfort. It does not promise that everything will be okay, but it does promise that the struggle is worth something. It is an album that carries both the weight of sorrow and the fire of defiance, the burden of grief and the light of something that refuses to die.

The Bad Fire

Mogwai

Through a variety of sounds and techniques, I am left with a good feeling after listening to the album. This is not just an album about pain—it is about rising from it, about finding light in the wreckage, about turning struggle into something meaningful. t is a record that acknowledges the weight of suffering but refuses to be consumed by it, proving that sometimes, the most powerful thing music can do is remind us that we are not alone in our struggles—and that there is always a way forward.

Servants of Apathy

Thlipsis

Thlipsis music are black metal, but the lyrics, and so many other things, belongs to […]

Egyenes Kerüló

Watch My Dying

Great Metal from Hungary.

Garden of Earthly Delights

Casandra's Crossing

George Lynch (LYNCH MOB, DOKKEN) is a household name, Casandra Carson, lead singer from PARALANDRA is not…….yet, but this duo have joined forces and released a guitar-driven, edgy straight forward hard rock debut album “Garden of Earthly Delights”.

Nyktmyst

This mini-album is planned to be released March 21st, by Iron Bonehead Productions. Black metal, […]

Bloodlines

Black .44

Although this was a simple sound, it had enough ummph and energy to it, you can’t help but like it and get caught up in some of the aggression and melodies. Not all music has to be overly complicated.

Against the Abyss

Soul Demise

From Bandcamp, “SOUL DEMISE, the melodic death metal band from Bavaria, Germany, returns in 2025 […]

Eternal Roar of the Thunder and Rain

Malacath

This was an excellent album. Their combination of Doom and Black Metal descended on you like an ominous storm, blotting out the sun, and soaking you to the bone. The frigid winds that followed were paralyzing, and kept you from getting back up again.
