Afterlife

Planet Of Zeus

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

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.

Renaissance

Raptore

Yes, this is very much eighties-oriented Metal, but by making sure that they have gotten a proper production, they sound good in current times as well, without becoming too contemporary.

Through Endless Black

Sleepless

If you are one of those Metalheads who does dare to try something new without having to tread unknown territories, you should listen to this SLEEPLESS album. “Through Endless Black” will not disappoint you.

Rush Of Power

Steel Inferno

If you are able to stand or sit still while you are listening to “Rush Of Power” you are either dead on your way there. I don’t care if you like this kind of Speed Metal or not, this will get your juices flowing and your body moving.

Admist the Ruins

Saor

Consider alone all of the various instruments that went into its making, and that guitar was not the focal point. Each composition was filled with strings, pipes, and other instruments, and each one was grandiose in an accessible way. Let “Amidst the Ruins” take you on a journey to ancient times, and ancient lands, and give you just a little escape from your humdrum life.

More Insane

Undeath

This Death Metal band is a fine example of how creating an excellent set of songs without revintenting the genre.

Lakonic

Thyrathen

Wow, this band shows that Hellenic Black Metal still has some surprises to show! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Anti Deus

Temple Of Decay

This release shows how Poland still has some great talents on extreme Metal to show.

Leave No Soul

Hatchet

This EP is a fine come back for these thrashers, and make us anxious for their next full-length!

Back to Greysland

Grey Attack

Without reinventing Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, this German quartet created a very good full-length.

Isolationist

Fight The Fade

This is a very good Modern Metal/Rock release, indeed.

Those Who Reign Below

Mercyless

With over 30 years of pure unapologetic death comes a vile display of blasphemy

Heart Starter

Last Temptation

LAST TEMPTATION is back with more high energy rock n roll. “Heart Starter” is the […]

Piles of Festering Decomposition (Reissue)

200 Stab Wounds

200 STAB WOUNDS play Extremely Gore Death Metal with the vocals to match. You just have to look at the covers of their albums to know that nobody and no body is spared. This slaughterhouse experience is a sadistic butchers paradise.

From The Ashes Of Deceit

Aries Descendant

As soon as the intro “From The Ashes Of Deceit” starts you are expecting warriors to stand up and point their sword to the skies and start shouting about True Metal.

The Pronoia Sessions

Atreyu

The music is all acoustic, but still just (or even more) impressive as the originals are. But because they are all different, you should imagine the word ‘Reimagined’ behind every one of them.

Exhibition Of Prowess

Kublai Khan TX

On Wikipedia the band KUBLKAI KHAN TX is classed as a Metalcore band. But that is just plain wrong. This is Metal Hardcore. What also is in here is a Groove part, and even some Nu-Metal influences that are being shown from time to time.

Four Decades Of Death

Thanatos

I can only applaud Agonia Records for releasing “Four Decades Of Death”. Plus, we need to thank THANATOS themselves for rerecording some of their songs and adding the 2006 and 2018 demos to finish the album.

Out Of The Dark

The Watcher

This is NWOBHM based, Doom inspired Heavy Metal with enough oomph to keep your mind occupied and working for over 36 minutes.

Beyond Subconscious Realms

Shrykull

Shrykull – Beyond Subconscious Realms

Desecration of the Archangels

Crucifixion Ritual

Four songs that sound very similar to one another don’t male for a very good listening experience. I get the message, and it is noteworthy, but the music doesn’t deliver much.
