Subterrania
Miasmata
I need to remind the listeners that this band is only one person, so right off, you have to give him props for that. That said, I found the music to be fairly solid. His command of several genres is noteworthy, although some of the songs bleed together a bit. Any fan of Extreme music should appreciate this album.
Passage of the Arcane
Withering Soul
One doesn’t always think about musicianship in this genre, but WITHERING SOUL openly defies that sentiment. The album is meticulously crafted, and confidently performed, with a real balance between straight aggression, and intelligent songwriting.
Shadows of the Eclipse
Ungoliath
This was an intense album that offered the ferociousness of Black Metal, combining tones of aggression with outright hopelessness, and Bane builds the towering and suffocating atmosphere with layers, one after another. It’s like experiencing the waves of Pestilence, as he rides his undead horse through your town.

A Throne of Ashes
Sun of the Dying
This album stands as a monument to the contradictions of Doom Metal — where anger, sorrow, depression, and rage coexist in a suffocating yet strangely cathartic balance. Sorrow is not simply sorrow, it is colored by rage; depression is not simply numbness, but a raging anger at existence itself. Listening feels like staring into an abyss that both destroys and comforts. It is music that forces you to confront the weight of existence, to recognize the many shades of human anguish, and to find strange solace in their coexistence.

Divided We Fall
Biohazard
And as far as I can determine, the compositions that you find on “Divided We Fall” is what I was hoping for on a new BIOHAZARD album. They stand out, they have form, they are hard hitting, direct and if you ask me bloody impressive.
Peculiar
ELBE
This was an outstanding album for me in a few ways. First, the combination of several different genres created an album without labels, but with a strong sense of purpose. Second, the songs lived somewhere in that undefined space between heaven and hell, light and darkness, and it dipped into each side whenever it wanted to. This is one strong possibility of where Metal music is headed, and I love their unabashed abandon.
Babylon
Dirkschneider & The Old Gang
There is no escaping the fact that this is easy listening Heavy Metal, very simple, quite direct and with the ability to put a smile on your face.
Infinite Measure, Finite Existence
Jester Majesty
JESTER MAJESTY is showing us as listeners that they are capable of making music that is not standard, and certainly not boring.
Catarsi
Saüc
SAÜC have made a very decent and solid attempt with “Catarsi” and should be able to attract the attention of a lot of the traditional Heavy Metal enthusiasts as well as those who are not afraid of something new.
Semper
Nihili Locus
Overall, this was a despondent listening experience that had just enough anger to take the listener through a couple of different emotions. The raging elements were intense, in a way that makes them real. The somber tones served as a reminder that much of life is not one-sided, rather a bevy of experiences that we will all go through. You gotta hang on for the ride, no matter how dark it gets…and the album is that darkness.
El despertar dels morts
God’s Funeral
Overall, this was a solid album in the steep traditions of Doom/Death Metal. It wasn’t anything overly original, but you get what you would expect here, and that is fine. The slow pace and near-death vocals kick you when you are down, and stomp on your head to make sure it stays there.
Verminous Contempt
Plague Curse
This was a thoroughly evil album that championed the best of what Death and Black Metal can offer to fans. The songs were hasty, plowed through all barriers, and the vocals were filthy and disgusting…everything a good blackened death metal album should be.
Doomed
Defacement
I found the album nearly exactly as advertised…psychological collapse, disillusionment, and torment, and then some. The fleeting moments of melody might serve as that last fray of sanity to keep you from completely going under, but this was an extremely dark and dreadful affair.
Insatiable Lust for Death
Kontusion
Overall, this was a solid album to listen to. The band forges their own path through the annals of Death Metal, not content to rest on what the forefathers did, and also not giving any fucks if you like their brand of brutality or not. For that, I say bravo, gentlemen.
The Beep Test
God Alone
I’ll say one thing about the band and the album…they are original. Are they too original to appeal to a wide audience? Probably. But they are also fun, and the music has life. Life it too short to waste it on genre discussions, so I say throw your caution to the wind and dive in. You may find that you are a new fans of their music.
The Dead Don't Run
Sanity's Rage
What can you expect as you start to listen to “The Dead Don't Run”? Well, one thing is for sure, this will wake you up. The Thrash Metal assault of SANITY’S RAGE is full of energy, very enthusiastic and uplifting, and will have you taking notice from the first note until the last.
Apolitical Ecstasy
Jelusick
Their first album “Follow The Blind Man” was reviewed by me for Metal Temple when it was released in 2023. And the conclusion was quite clear; I thought it was a good album, but that the band needed to grow in the songwriting department. Well, they apparently have listened to my advice, and although they’re not there yet, the tunes that I get to hear on “Apolitical Ecstasy” are quite the improvement.
Elegy
Death Has Spoken
This was a dreadfully delightful album, and the sheer weight of the songs, infused with supporting emotion, leaves the listener feeling drained, and hopeless. It was an intense listening experience, in terms of each song piling on more and more burden on your already frail back. Take a trip into the desperate mind of “Elegy (a poem of serious reflection, typically a lament for the dead)” and you will see what is on the other side.
Surge Of Cruelty
Cytolysis
I might not be the most devoted Death Metal enthusiast, but I know what I like, and “Surge Of Cruelty” has a musical substance that I find very good indeed.
High Risk
Hyperstrike
“High Risk” is a Power Metal album, but the album sound is very versatile and leaves plenty of room for other genres and inspirations
Kill All Idols
Desaster
“Kill All Idols” is a smart mixture of Black and Thrash Metal with influences from the early 80s and a few Punk/Hardcore twists
Sempiternal Decay
Cancerbero
Cancerbero’s Sempiternal Decay is not just another death metal album it’s a ritual carved in riffs, sweat, and fire.
Mara Comes and Darkness Shall Reign
Schreigarm
There are parts of “Mara Comes and Darkness Shall Reign” that positively terrify me, and other parts that just soothe the hell out of me (no pun intended).
From Ashes
Bogwife
“From Ashes” is a solid return . . . from the ashes for BOGWIFE. Part Doom rocker, part blues jam, the album hits multiple sweet spots.
Indoor Enthusiast
Tuesday The Sky
It’s hard not to compare Jim’s solo work with the work of FATES WARNING, and I do seem some parallels. Like the infamous Progressive band, some of the songs are more about the ambiance than sonority and riffs in your face. This gives you pause to think, and reflect, and those are the top two qualities I took away from the album.
Phantasmagoria
Phenomy
“Phantasmagoria” is a whirlwind of different emotions and levels of intensity, but there is one thing that all songs have in common; they all sound bloody good and just right. This makes PHENOMY into a very interesting prospect for any adventurous Metalhead or Heavy Rocker.
Chronicle Of A Shipwreck
Born Divided
It doesn’t matter whether BORN DIVIDED plays fast and furious, slow and deliberate or is hovering somewhere in between, everything on “Chronicle Of A Shipwreck” is as it should be.
The Real Me (single)
Rick Hughes
It’s a magical trip back to 1982 with a band that defined a generation as Canadian rocker Rick Hughes has devilishly (wink, wink, get it) reunited Brad Gillis, Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge for the first single/video setting the tone of his new solo album “Redemption”.
Burning Sands (single)
Wings of Steel
WINGS OF STEEL are back with vengeance on the third single “BURNING SANDS” from their highly anticipated album WINDS OF TIME due for independent release on October 17th.
Transcendence
Radiant Thought
This was a solid album. What struck me most was the amount of passion and confidence the trio has in their performances. The music has soul, emotion, and gives the listeners pause to consider their own personal journey through life.
The Tyranny of Decay
Lycantrophilia
This was a solid album to listen to. It wasn’t overly original, or even overly technical, but the keyboards and the orchestral elements did give it some more life. Still, as I mentioned, the music was just too thin at times, and the band could have taken more chances while still hanging onto their sound.
I Found the Love That I Was Looking For
Wounds of Recollection
The beauty in this album lies mostly in its paradox. Conventional wisdom would suggest that the deep chasm of extremes on the album seem impossible to occupy the same space, yet they do. The raging vocals rise like a tidal wave that threatens to roll right over you, while warm melodies bubble underneath, keeping you safe. Taken as a whole, it lavishes in wonder, and in darkness.
