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.

Graveside

Old Forest

The album’s strength lies both in its diversity and traditionalism. Its roots go deep in the Black Metal genre, but they are also not afraid to explore, and use some unconventional approaches to songwriting. For a band that has been around since before the turn of the century, I find their music to be fresh, and vital.

Hypocrisy

Misscore

Alt Rock tinged in industrial to bring you a darker sound

Darkanakrad

Suidakra

SUIDAKRA’s “Darkanakrad,” is yet another fantastic album from a band that has been around a long time but, thankfully, shows know sign of slowing down. It has all the hallmarks of a well written album that flows nicely from beginning to end.

Sunraven

Grand Magus

“Sunraven,” further proves that GRAND MAGUS is one of those bands that will give you what you see. And there isn’t a thing wrong with that. I wish more bands were as consistently badass as GRAND MAGUS. If you’re a fan of the band, “Sunraven,” will please you and then some but if you lost track of them for whatever reason, this will definitely pull you back in.

π (Pi)

Big Muff Parade

Smart arrangements, fucktons of fuzz groove, and even a splash of Prog sophistication. Gotta love this band, gotta love this album.

Warpstormer

While the cover, and even their monicker, suggest a fuzzed-out Stoner trip, what we get is a ripping Thrash attack underpinned with the down-tuned sensibilities of Doom. Think THE SWORD gone Thrash.

Black Flame of Unholy Tradition

Noirsuaire

From Bandcamp, "Black Flame of Unholy Tradition,” a new EP that was written and recorded […]

The Moirai

Carved Memories

The Moirai” is an eight-chapter journey of darkness, melancholy, epic melodies at times, and hammering symphonic Death Metal sound throughout

Relentless Force

Vicious Blade

VICIOUS BLADE kick ass with their relentless and aggressive Thrash Metal attack

Supernatural

Lionville

This was clearly a hit. “Alexander” has an excellent voice, and this album is a collection of songs that will ignite nostalgia in the listener. They also manage to create a lot of hooks that don’t sound like ones that have been done before. Let it sweep you back to a simpler and more melodic past.

Mind Pollution

Dark Secret

DARK SECRET are a five piece metal band from Cleveland that formed when they solidified […]

Embers

Kildonan

This was an album with potential, and you can easily connect with the themes mentioned above. It was Black Metal really only in the sense of some of the backing vocal screams, and took on a more doomy quality for me.

La Saignée

Zero Absolu

This album is a masterwork in duality, contrasting love with loss and intertwining happiness with regret in a way that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. It leaves you with a bittersweet aftertaste, a poignant reminder that love and loss, happiness and regret, are not opposites but inseparable parts of the same experience. It’s an album that lingers long after the music stops, inviting listeners to reflect on their own journeys and the emotions that make us human.

Múr

This is a very promising debut album, and they have almost reached the pinnacle already…but not quite. They do nearly everything right on the album except for varying the pacing of the songs. They set out with a boundless vision of where the music can take them, and don’t put any restraints on themselves, and that is a good starting point. But the crawling nature of the songs holds back the total advancement of the album. Still, this is a band to keep an eye on for sure.

Digital God

Stage Of Reality

Too much electronics on my Metal.

Muuntautuja

Oranssi Pazuzu

You first question should be, what do you call this music? Take a look at the album cover for your first clue. There are dark and twisted shades of black, grey, and white, and if you look at them from just the right angle, you can make out some distinct forms, or can you? It’s amorphous, just like the music. Part Black Metal, part Industrial and Psychedelic, part Experimental, and even part Progressive, but wholly original and unique, it expands the boundaries of music into bold and brave territory. It’s an obvious candidate for album of the year.

Envy The Dead

Misanthropia

WOW, what a great Melodic Black Metal release!

Einst

A fine first release of this Atmospheric Black Metal. If you like the genre, you must hear to it!

Hic Svnt Dracones

Dragony

A very good good Symphonic Power Metal release, even not trying to recreate the genre.

The Last Odyssey

Deaf Lizard

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

House of Commando

Bird’s View

If you thought that Alternative Rock was dead, hear to this release and think again.

ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ

Patriarkh

This was an excellent album, and it combined the fierceness of Black Metal with a lot of melody, especially in the vocals. The chord structures were complex, and you can tell this is a veteran band, yet they melded these arrangements together in a way that made them accessible to the listener.

Sound Delivery

Fast delivery Hard Rock!
