This is Not Lifelover
Ritualmord
For me, the album cover tells a lot about what kind of music might be waiting for the listener. It’s a picture of a (presumably) dead woman, covered in blood, amidst a soft canopy of grass, and flowers. Maybe it symbolizes the circle of life, because our dead bodies can create rich soil for flowers to grow. Or, maybe, it symbolizes the yin and yang of good and evil, as each requires the other. In the end, it’s something that each of us might interpret differently, and that is the beauty of music.
Cult of the Serpent Son
Nite
If this album proves anything, it’s that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to a memorable listening experience. You do need to choose the right riffs, and the right amount of energy, and the right vocalist, and they have clearly done all three. It’s a simple album, but so damn catchy.
A Tale Beyond The Pale
Warfarer
When I start listening to WARFARER it is no surprise that they are from Finland. Tampere to be precise. The reason it is not a surprise is because the first band that comes to mind when “A Tale Beyond The Pale” starts blowing through my headphones is early CHILDREN OF BODOM. This has the same kind of feel.
Zweckpessimismus
Schädlich & Söhne
What I always have found, and which is definitely accentuated and confirmed on “Zweckpessimismus” is that the German language surely is the best one to select when you wish to get across your messages across in a very dark and menacing way.
Carnival of Chaos
Reviver
In over 48 minutes these guys take you on a journey through a pure Metal landscape. These are good musicians, who write good songs, play good music and have a competent and versatile singer in Michel Zandbergen. All these elements together make “Carnival of Chaos” into an album that will bring joy to many a pure Heavy Metal afficionado.
Operation Party Destroy
Nuclearsaurus Rex
If you are wondering how it is that these musicians work so well together, I have to tell you that this is a one-man band. I don’t know what kind of name or person Chalky is, but I like his sense of humour.
Blaze Of Rage
Magic Kingdom
Let me start by saying that Epic Symphonic Power Metal can not function without a good sound. Well, that part is covered nicely, as the production is top notch. Mr. Dushan Petrocci can be proud of what he has achieved on this MAGIC KINGDOM record.
Do I Need A Reason
Kronowski
KRONOWSKI themselves describe their music as Heavy Metal, but I have a feeling that based on this EP they really don’t know how to market themselves. That probably also is a problem for record companies, as this has been self-released.
Rags to Rage
Hellfire 76
HELLFIRE 76 hail from Charlotte in South Carolina, USA. Their musical style is best described as Southern Metal. And it fits. This has all the trademarks that Southern Rock has, only with Metal as the base.
Beyond The Breakers
Diamonds Hadder
DIAMONDS HADDER are very much influenced by DIO-era RAINBOW, by the DIO-era BLACK SABBATH and the first few DIO albums. Do you see a pattern emerging here?
Nethermost & Absolute Comfort
Déhà
This was indeed a sick album, sick with the blackness of a terminal disease. The length of the songs drew a parallel to someone’s pathetic life, when in the end, they loved no one, and accomplished nothing. I think many of us can relate to that hole.
Andromeda
March of Scylla
From Bandcamp, “MARCH OF SCYLLA is a dark Post-Metal project that explores all the afflictions […]
BLY
Knogjärn
My only piece of constructive criticism relates to the lengthy number of songs on the album, and because much the album has a similar sound, some of the tracks blend together a bit. But this was an honest, hard-rocking album that takes no prisoner. You all get the gallows!
The Egregious Being
Vokodlok
This was an enjoyable amalgam of Death, Black, and Thrash Metal that has a nice balance between the three. The band is talented, and has a no-nonsense approach to their songwriting, letting it all hang out for the listener. This music is as black as Satan’s very soul.
Carnival of Atrocities
Sarkasm
Hopefully the third time around is the charm for SARKASM. With their twin attacks of As Empires Decay and Carnival of Atrocities, they seem to be on a solid trajectory.
Bone Collector
Grave Digger
GRAVE DIGGER’s Bone Collector is a casket full of bone-cold metal. Nothing too groundbreaking, but when you’ve been playing at the heavy metal table for 45 years, consistency trumps innovation.
Shape of God Though of Sun
Eigenstate Zero
For me, the album was like a caged tiger in the zoo who is let free only to perform in front of an audience. Make no mistake, control of him is an illusion however, because he could strike you dead with just a few swipes of his massive paws and sharp teeth.
High Impact Violence
Gutless
Visceral, gore, violent and relentless. Death metal in the finest of its forms.
Enemy of the Human race
Ass to Mouth
Disgust, misanthropy, mayhem, dystopia; welcome to grindcore
Wilheim
Decline of the I
This album was a crushing listening experience for me. They paint a black landscape of nothingness, and existential dread, combined with vibrant red colors of the entirely of the weight of painful decisions thrust on your shoulders at the same time. Do not look for hope buried under the rubble, for there is none.

An Age Undreamed Of…
The Cimmerian
This album was as much of a story as it was music, and the factored the themes mentioned above into their compositions. Their recipe of Doom, Sludge, Death and Black Metal results in a stew that is dark, thick, hearty, and even a little bitter.
Bergart
Nordein
This was a good listening experience for me, and I can appreciate the band’s simple approach to their music. Without traditional singing (many of the vocal parts were hummed), they had to work a little harder at creating the tale with instruments, and they reflected the part of you that feels torn between the dichotomy of self, and nature, existing at the same time.
Post Apocalyptic Depression
Mantar
Although they really aren’t presenting anything new with the style of the album, it’s pure blood, sweat and tears, gritty Rock N Roll, with a touch of Black Metal, and they present it confidently and with a big middle finger extended to anyone and everyone. The production is perfect for their brand as well.
Give Us the Moon
The Night Flight Orchestra
Even not as good as some past releases of the band, it's still an excellent album!
Titans
Manntra
This Folk Metal release can be pointing to new musical possibilities for the genre. Hear to it!
Balls to the Wall Reloaded
Dirkschneider
Liking it or not, this remake for this old Heavy Metal classic album is really excellent!
The World Was Never Enough
Days Of Jupiter
After years without new releases, the Swedish Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Lords are back with an excellent full-length!
Challenger
Utility Provider
A surprising Progressive Metal release from these Canadians killers!
Purulence Gushing from the Coffin
Stenched
A good Death Metal release of a band that can do way better than this.
The Eleventh Hour
No Favors
Wow, what great Hard 'n' Heavy release in the vein of NWOBHM's Hard Rock bands!
