Mean Bone
Buzzard
I’ll say that traditional Doom fans should be wary of BUZZARD and “Mean Bone”, whilst Folk lovers with a wide angle lens and other more adventurous music lovers will be able to understand and therefore enjoy what is passing through your ears into that massive underused grey matter we call our brain.
No Regrets
Inherited
Of course, these guys aren’t changing the Metal world or even trying to be the band that sets new standards, but they are unmistakably trying to impress the hell out of anyone who will take the time to listen what they have top offer on “No Regrets”. And in that respect, they are succeeding in more songs than I would have thought possible when I started to listen to INHERITED.
Traveller Supplement 1 - The Ephemeral Glades
The Lord Weird Slough Feg
THE LORD WEIRD SLOUGH FEG makes their music in a way that it will transport you back to the eighties, as their brand of Heavy Metal is heavily reliant on that era. Thankfully they have been able to update their production in such a manner that that hasn’t been stuck in the past. It is very contemporary, without losing the authentic retro feel that really sums up the sound of THE LORD WEIRD SLOUGH FEG.
NWOBHM From The Vaults
Roxxcalibur
Whatever you might think of compilation albums that are tributes to the past, it is a fact that this is a sure fired way to pique the interest of the people interested, who will take the time and have a good listen. And through this medium, ROXXCALIBUR’s album “NWOBHM From The Vaults”, they will go and look if they can locate the originals, be it physical or digital.
Rivers of Nihil
Rivers of Nihil
The album registers as a bold and ferocious entry into the realm of Progressive Death Metal that marries unrelenting aggression with a structural intelligence rare in the genre. It is a balancing act between chaos and calculation…a sound that never loses its teeth, even as it brushes against moments of eerie melody and intricate musicianship. In a landscape crowded with brutality for brutality’s sake, this album is a fusion of relentless death metal ferocity, progressive ambition, and melodic sensibility. It’s the sound of a band not afraid to push, twist, and mold their aggression into forward progress. It's evolution with its fists still clenched.
Chasing Euphoria
Harem Scarem
Hooks for days…that is what the album does best. The band also has a strong sense of musicianship and use of harmony in the backing tracks. As I recently had a discussion with my daughter about, these things sound sugary on the ears, but they are hard to compose properly. The band once again is firing on all cylinders here on “Chasing Euphoria.”
Uumen
Ceresian Valot
With strong songwriting, great production values, and impeccable execution, “Uumen” definitely lives into its title and goes deep.
Certesia
Blax
“Certesia” makes for an interesting listen that’s likely to appeal to Theatrical Metal fans more than Goth Metal.
Loss
Tenebrae
The band are talented and have filled out the background of the music with enough qualities to make it sound rich, and full. The album has power, melody, and is carried by a great singer. There is a lot to like here.
Burn
Hangfire
The seeds of Washington State metal band, Hangfire, were sown when guitarist Sean ‘Shredder’ Searls,noted […]
Terra Nova
Flight of Icarus
What pleases me most about the album is the melody. They don’t just wield it…they embrace it, at every turn. The songs have a hard enough edge to please most Metalheads, but it’s within the realm of melody that the album soars highest.

Pythagoras
Pyramids
Get ready to test everything you think you might know about blackgaze/shoegaze, or music in general, because “Pythagoras” from PYRAMIDS is one of the most uniquely pleasing albums that I have heard in a while, genres notwithstanding. It stretches conventional boundaries so far, they threaten to snap. There is a bite here as sharp as a viper’s fangs, but I am content to just let the melodies wash over me in the waves that they come.

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.
