Light And Desolation
Blizaro
The world is a wonderful place, where a lot of interesting things happen. Some of those will enthral you, while others will disappoint you. The fact that you never know beforehand which is the case, you get and embrace the surprise. Well, that is definitely the case with BLIZARO, a one man band from Rochester in the state of New York.
Warren Of Necrosis
Black Rabbit
BLACK RABBIT has come out stronger this time. When I was listening to “Chronolysis”, it felt that the band just let go, and damned be the consequences. It made for some uneven levels on that wile, while on “Warren Of Necrosis” it is a lot more in sync with each other.
Spelled By Fire
Angelo Perlepes' Mystery
What I am listening to is a combination of the music that ALCATRAZZ used to make on their first albums, when YNGWIE MALMSTEEN was the guitarist in question, combined with the debut album of YNGWIE MALMSTEEN’S RISING FORCE and even some GRAHAM BONNET era RAINBOW.
Spear of Conquest
Summoning Hellgates
Overall, the album was delightfully wicked, and the vocals were every bit as dark and aggressive as the music. If you want to take a fiery joy ride downward into Hell, climb aboard.
Cloven Tongues of Fire
The Ominous Circle
Overall, their amalgam of Death and Black Metal was indeed both dark and intense. They build a cocoon of shadows with the deftness of a spider crafting a web and just leave it there to ensnare anyone with a morbid curiosity with their death.
Execration
Bloodtruth
Yes, this was a great listen. Yes, I want more.
The Fire Brethren
Abominator
The amount of times I've compared this album to white noise is weird...

Golden Tears of Love and Sorrow
Orob
France is one of the hot beds for modern Metal these days. The album walks a feral line of Post-Black Metal and the expanding horizons of Progressive Metal that it keeps brushing up against like a hand on a forbidden door. It’s harsh, but not primitive, expansive, but never polished to sterility. The interplay creates a kind of emotional chiaroscuro. You feel the darkness, but you can also sense the shapes surviving within it. It’s music that claws upward even as it sinks deeper, and that contradiction is what makes it compelling.
Bianca
Bianca
This was an uncommon sound, fueled by dual opposing vocal styles. They lure you in, with seductive notes, and then eat your soul with all the fire and hatred of Hell itself. The music undulates with the vocals…at times, as raging as a tsunami, and at other times, calm. The fires burn deeply on the album, like a festering wound that has added salt for more pain, and topped with a barbed dagger inserted into the lesion.
Pestilential Hymns
Thaumaturgy
The 2025 release of Pestilential Hymns by Thaumaturgy features eight tracks (an ADHD'ers version of 46 minutes) of pure grind-hate-death metal core encased in a hurricane of filth.
Power of Discretion
Dave Tinelt
Dave Tinelt, Power of Discretion is a raw and hearty, traditional, all metal and power memorable reverse, snap-back ball cap tip to the skateboarding, convenient store, arcade playing child terror of the 80’s I was and still am.
Archaeoptimist
Spock’s Beard
This is one of Progressive Rock’s finest album of the year. Just quirky enough to keep it interesting and intriguing, they explore plenty of unchartered territory on the album but always find their way home. Their musicianship is outstanding, and I did indeed find that the album has a retroactive feeling to it while staying within the modern scene. Magnificent!

Scapegoat
Malota
They start here and end there, they twist and they parry and they pivot, defying expectations and mocking songwriting norms.
Bleed the Wicked, Drown the Damned
Cosmic Reaper
COSMIC REAPER has stomped out a trail of infernal psych doom with “Bleed the Wicked, Drown the Damned.”
Dreaming Delusion
Gloombound
This was a delicious slab of Death and Doom Metal that freely toyed with your emotions. Sometimes, that meant driving an aggressive sound down your throat until you welled with anger, and at other times, you wallowed in despair. They also leave you with just enough hope to come back to the album again and again.
Ashes Of Destiny
Tales Of Destiny
“Ashes Of Destiny” offers a blend of traditional Power Metal elements and classical Heavy Metal. The guitars and vocals are the key contributions to the album with good and variable guitar riffs, cool solos, and very versatile vocals
Walking On Burning Ground
Pitchblack
“Walking On Burning Ground” deliver an interesting blend of Death and Groove Metal with some Thrash Metal twists

Apocalyptic Sleep
Onsetcold
This was a strange album that kept me engaged with a variety of sounds and techniques. One minute, the aggressiveness was turned up past 10, and the next, dreamy passages ensued. Through it all, there was a deep darkness afoot, making sure that you are tainted even when you believe all is well. All fans of Extreme Metal should check out this album, because it boasts a twisted sound you haven’t encountered before.
Love Songs Part II
Kakihara
There’s brutal music, and then there’s KAKIHARA. By the end of the short 10-ish minute run time, you are so exhausted, you feel like you ran an ultra-marathon. They are indeed talented, and each note is in its proper place. For as punishing as their brand of music is, they also seem genuinely attracted to the lighter and more fun side of the industry, and that just makes me like them even more.

The Apocalyptic Aeon
Avdagata
This is solid Melodic Death Metal. However, a keyboard player was listed, yet I struggled to hear any keys. I would dial them up more in a future mixing session. Also, although the near absence of clean vocals keeps the band pure, they can only help with the melodic side of the music. The band makes no excuses for keeping their sound pure and steeped in the early days of the genre, but taking a few more changes wouldn’t hurt them.
Steel, Fire & Ice
Fate's Hand
I can tell you straight away that the production of the music on “Steel, Fire & Ice” is more than adequate, making what is being played very clear, transparent and therefore all the instruments are easily distinguishable. The riffing that is used is clear, heavy and to the point, as you expect from an Australian band; they usually don’t beat around the bush.
Here Goes Nothing
Mental Maze
The rhythms are widespread, the breaks are plentiful and then intensity is almost claustrophobic. And as MENTAL MAZE doesn’t seem to use any boundaries in how far they can go, it makes that every song on “Here Goes Nothing” has their own identity, whilst the EP as a whole still have the ability to sound very cohesive.
Moonshine
Tapeworm Electric
I actually like what TAPEWORM ELECTRIC is bringing to the table and that I am going to rate this album accordingly. I can only say that if you love your quality Heavy Rock with female vocals, you can’t really go wrong with the music that is available on “Moonshine”.
Hostile Wasteland (feat. Wolfpack)
Wolfbrigade
To narrow down how WOLFBRIGADE does sound, think Punk with some Thrash Metal influences, but more importantly, as if MOTÖRHEAD is playing pure Punk instead of their Rock ‘n’ Roll version. But what is even more impressive in my books is that although I’m not the world’s biggest Punk afficionado, I really am digging what I hear on “Hostile Wasteland”.
Kill to Live
Wolfbrigade
I like the fact that the Swedish real-world, brute-force, political Hardcore Punk band WOLFBRIGADE has recorded a live album in their own Wolfden Studios, which they named “Kill To Live”. Every song that has been recorded sounds strong, and for 27:33 minutes you have no other choice than to immerse yourself in the surroundings of WOLFBRIGADE and their real-world, brute-force, political Hardcore Punk.
Ages Of The Gods
Havamal
“Ages Of The Gods” is a symphonic melodic Death Metal album, driven by a strong orchestral component, which is a main contributor to the epic melodeath sound. The lead guitar solos are a standout feature of the album
Frequency Of Illusion
Flames
“Frequency Of Illusion” is a good mixture of Speed and Thrash Metal. The album has a lot of pace and it is well-balanced across and within the tracks
