Apna
Stam1na
I may sound like a Finnish weeb here, but Stam1na is just another reason why Finland is the capital of metal.
Ritual
Soul of Anubis
I'd really like to see Soul of Anubis tap deeper into their progressive minds and put forth another brutal album, this time with more variation.
The Moment Of A Lifetime
Star.Gate
If you are a fan of this kind of Neoclassical Metal in general, or in this case what STAR.GATE is feeding us on “The Moment Of A Lifetime”, I guess that you’re in for a treat. It will be no surprise that I feel that this album will really speak to you. Why? Because everything that STAR.GATE does fits.
In Shadows Deep – Shadow of the Crow Pt. II
Forbidden Seed
I know that “In Shadows Deep – Shadow of the Crow Pt. II” is a special kind of album, one of those that will keep growing on you every time to decide to play it. And no, I don’t feel that FORBIDDEN SEED is giving me something that should Rock my world, but somehow it does.
Catharsis (single)
3 Headed Snake
Musically you can classify 3 HEADED SNAKE as following; take the ultimate power that a band like MALICE always portrayed, the compelling nature that JUDAS PRIEST is capable of and combine it with the vocal qualities that QUEENSRŸCHE is well known for.
Beyond the Forest
Valdrin
Overall, this was an excellent album, and Black Metal has never been so rich, full, and even complex. You can tell that the band are excellent musicians, evidenced by their propensity to work outside of some of the genre boundaries, while maintaining the traditions that fans have come to expect.
Dawn of the Iconoclast
Worm Shepherd
Breakdown Count?™
Profanation's Vapor
Upon The Altar
If I had a nickel for each Polish black metal band I've reviewed an EP for in the past 24 hours, I'd have two nickels, and I'd probably use them to buy a third.
Autumn Embrace
Enisum
The best part about the album was how well the artists connected visuals with the music. The song titles came to life before my eyes, and I could almost follow the tale by watching with my eyes. The album cover tells a lot about what you might find here in your listening experience…hues of orange leaves tell me it’s mid-fall and the mist that hangs low with mountain spires rising sharply in the background. It’s an inviting scene, but also one that might be marked with danger. Will you step into the forest?
The King Is Victorious
Lightning Strikes
While it's possible to pull off heavy metal in the current age, "The King Is Victorious," with its Duolingo sentence-like song titles, masterbatory guitar solos, and drawn-out compositions, falls flat.
Ancient Throne of Sinister Rites
Astral Spear
I'd like to see more from this project, so I'll be patently waiting for Astral Spear-related news.
Fragment Through Hollow Eternity
Funeral Skies
This was an absolutely fantastic album. Not only is the trio musically gifted at their instruments, they write melodies that are straightforward, high reaching, and just a joy to listen to. Pop this in on a long drive, and the time will pass peacefully.
Rituel: Initiation
De l'Abîme Naît l'Aube
This is an album that will crush your very soul, with equal helpings of death, disease, rot, and the kind of desolation that sinks into your mind and you can’t crawl out of. Once its blackness reaches you, its grip is firm, and can’t be broken. A warning…if you are already feeling bad, this is not the cure.
Depths of the Grave
Denounced Disgraced
Lollipops!
Nothing Happened Here
Echoes of Amara / Sincerely Yours
"Nothing Happened Here" is a small but mighty sampler to sink your teeth into once your Valentine's Day sweets are gone.
The All Seeing Eye
Pollard Row
Overall, this was an excellent album. At times, it was shrouded in mystery, while at others, the music was right in your face. Even in the latter times, the music has a darkness to it that is hard to describe, but it attracted me like a moth to flame.
Wings of the Nightstorm (Reissue)
Thus Defiled
Whereas the musical style definitely is Black Metal, THUS DEFILED aren’t afraid to venture out into Thrash and/or Heavy metal territory when the songs demand it. That is where the real power lies within THUS DEFILED.
Keep The Fire Burning
Sacred Leather
SACRED LEATHER hail from Indianapolis, which lies in the USA state of Indiana. According to the Metal Archives they play Heavy/Thrash Metal, but I would rather refer to their music genre as being a mix of NWOBHM, Old School Heavy Metal and Eighties Speed Metal.
The Lionspirit
Imperatore
The sound that “The Lionspirit” is showing off is superb, is exactly what this kind of music needs. The bombastic and epic parts are being blasted through your speakers, which does happen all through the album.
Terra
Black Magic Tree
BLACK MAGIC TREE has the capability to write songs that come from listening to a lot of different bands that have coloured the Rock scene throughout the decades, and they have made it into a beautiful melting pot on “Terra”.
Bloody Circuits
Creaturelens
This album was excellent, and I wish they had a social media account. The synthwave was smooth…even cold at times, but always alive. For those of you who were alive in the 80’s, this will be a sentimental sound. But like all good music, it lives today, not in the past.
Shards of a Waking Sun
Duchna
As the album continued to move, I felt worse and worse, sort of like a cumulative effect of piling one burden on top of another, trying to break me. That’s how powerful the emotional experience was. It’s also an album buried in deep mystery, and if you take the plunge, you never know what you might unearth…what secrets might be revealed.
Redenção Pelas Chamas
Redenção Pelas Chamas
I never knew how great black metal in Portuguese sounded up until today.
Pestmond
Siechknecht
Siechknecht’s “Pestmond” is one of those albums that make you glad to be alive. It’s tough and bold and it’s also melodic and inspiring.
Lidande
Tårfödd
If the digital only release of TÅRFÖDD’s “Lidande” left you a bit peckish, you can now snag its physical cousin via Purity Through Fire.
Existence
No Terror In The Bang
This is an album that’s a study in extremes. On one end, it’s smooth, melodic, and perhaps even introspective at times. On the other end however, it’s aggressive, brutal, even punishing, I feel like five songs was enough to capture the band’s essence, primarily because each of them had a similar sound and a similar length. One thing I would have liked would be a bit more diversity, but I am looking forward to what they might do next.
Forged In Hatred
Deathraiser
“Forged In Hatred” celebrates classical Thrash Metal with plenty of late 80s vibes, pace, aggression, dark melodies, and cool solos. It is a 35 minutes of pure mayhem and destruction
Krushers Of The World
Kreator
KREATOR deliver a signature album with a unique KREATOR sound. “Krushers Of The World” is a well-composed mixture of fast classical Thrash and melodic mid-tempo tracks, all embedded into a dark and at times melancholic melodic framework

Stages to Osiris (Rebirth)
Divided By Design
I love instrumental Metal, let me just get that out of the way. The album showed promise at times, and their musicianship was strong, but there were also some phasing issues here and there. The album as a whole also suffered from a lack of direction.
Evolution
Dark Heart
Dark Heart were formed during the early eighties, releasing the debut album ‘’Shadows of the […]
Cairn
Parallel Minds
This album was lengthy and the 60+ minutes of run time did seem to have some concept qualities. Their musicianship was excellent, but I found it difficult to really be able to dig into their sound. Normally, I love mashups…this one just didn’t do much for me and just wasn’t overly memorable.

Putrid

State Dependent Memory
Unmother
This was a positively creepy and frightening album that used some unconventional techniques, and had some progressive leanings. The tortured sounds were so vivid, you could feel them on your own body. Tread lightly here…I feel it’s like a Pandora’s box that once you open, you can never again close.
Impermanence
Malefic
The newest album by Atlanta, Georgia blackened/death metal band Malefic, Impermanence, definitely has a lot to like about […]

Space of Variations, metalcore band from the Ukraine, blazes through 2026 with their excellent new record Poisoned […]
