The Reckoning
Saint Diablo
If ever you just want to throw down and go crazy, it will be when listening to bands like Saint Diablo.
Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus
Gigan
This is far from the raw Death Metal of your parents…indeed, it is refined, sterile, and mechanical, yet it also breathes. It’s the closest thing to losing your total existence to utter madness without that final nail strike. In many ways, this is a worse way to live than in chaos…on the fringes of insanity and disease.
Remains Of A Dead World
Nightrage
What is very clear is that you wouldn't notice that they have made a lot of albums when you try to measure the amount of enthusiasm that is apparent on “Remains Of A Dead World”. NIGHTRAGE sound like a pack of very hungry wolves going out for their very first hunt of the season.
Absolute Destruction
Open Surgery
What it does do is make “Absolute Destruction” into a very nice Old School Death Metal album. What I will say is that if this is one of your first encounters with that music gnre, you could do a lot worse than “Absolute Destruction”.
Guardian of the Universe
Oxygen Destroyer
As for the kind of Death Metal they are playing. You have fast, faster and hyperspeed. Well, OXYGEN DESTROYER is set right in between the latter two. Let me rephrase that; if a band like DEATH or MORBID ANGEL would have recorded “Guardian of the Universe”, the album would have lasted some 50 minutes. Now it barely reaches 33 minutes.
Frostbite
Zubzero
If you love a bit of good Heavy music without complications but with a healthy dose of positive energy, you might want to give ZUBZERO a try and listen to “Frostbite”.
Frightmare (Demo 1985)
Burnt Offering
After a few listens i'm starting to wonder why no one picked up and signed BURNT OFFERING. In comparison with some of the releases halfway through the eighties they would have easily come through on top. Not only that, but my ears and brains are telling me that the music on “Frightmare (Demo 1985)” also has stood the test of time.
Live in New York 1982
Americade
What matters most to us as listeners is that all songs have that kind of quality that will have you take notice, will start the goose bumps coming up and make you enjoy the whole live show. All eleven songs are rather pleasing for the ears.
Evil Remains
Castle
All in all,
CASTLES
“
Evil Remains
,” is a solid occult doom album with a surprisingly catchy sound and many rifftastic moments. Any fan of doom would be doing themselves a disservice to ignore this.
Ancient Doom Metal
Scald
As I previously stated, I missed out on
SCALD
the first time they hit the scene (hey I was 13 when it came out, what do you want from me?) but I’m glad they are back and if “
Ancient Doom Metal
” is any indication of their new found prowess and energy, I hope they stay.
XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek
Thy Catafalque
“XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek” is a stunning piece of Avante-Gard Metal from Tamás Kátai and his fever dream known as THY CATAFALQUE. He stays true to his vision, bringing into the fold a world of diverse musicians. The result is like a trapdoor to nature’s own subconscious. For some, it will be a nightmare; for the devout denizens of the extreme metal underworld, a delight.
None For All (WormHole Death Reissue)
Comaniac
COMANIAC’s “None For All” has its moments. The bonus tracks, in particular, help to anchor the album to something heavier than the original nine tracks accomplish.
Heretic
Obscurial
Blasting out of Malaysia with the stench of death upon them comes a group that showcases their form of death metal
Draconian Darkness
Wolfheart
This was an excellent album, with a nice combination of Melo Death elements and symphonic ones. The orchestral sounds didn’t take over the music however, but rather were there in support. The music was vital, and powerful, and leaves the listener with a sense of the magnanimous.
Horror Paradise
Black Phantom
The Mediterranean region is a gold mine for classic metal bands; whether in Greece or […]
The Unseen
Klone
What strikes me most about the album’s gentle, synergistic sound is how well things are put together and how well the band plays in unison with each other. It seems to lean towards the fringe of your existence, in your dreams and in long passages of contemplation. Although the melodies are not complex, they are at times dark, reminding you of the dualistic nature of life.
Servitude
The Black Dahlia Murder
Veteran bands like this who are signed to a major label often take the safer path, and that is what THE BLACK DAHLIA have done with “Servitude.” Knowing that their long-time fans were not up for much change with the new singer on board, they delivered an expected sound. I think Eschbach’s vocal performance was excellent on the album, they just need to take a few more chances.
Love
Seeds of Mary
The Alternative elements slightly outweigh the Progressive ones, but there are other more subtle things going on as well, like some Punk influence and Psychedelica. One thing that you can’t fault the band for is their grand sense of adventure. Admittedly, this album is very hard to pigeon hole, therefore it will appeal to a wide variety of music fans.
Endless Winter Nights
Umbersun
This was a very well put together Doom album because the band wasn’t afraid to use some instruments and styles that are not typical for the genre, like keyboards, and other backing elements. They helped to fill in the gaps that long songs tend to have every now and again, and this is a very promising effort.
Jatt
Sabire
Sabires debut album has been 14 years in the making. This project dates make to […]
Scrolls of War
Ottone Pesante
One thing about the album is abundantly clear…their approach to their music is both unique and personal. Their musicianship is strong, but one thing that I always struggle with this type of uncommon sound is being able to find an audience that would appreciate them. With a band this artistically free, that is best left up to each listener.
Endonomos II – Enlightenment
Endonomos
This was an excellent album. The ultra-heavy soundtrack is supported at times with deep gutturals, while other times clean vocals take over, imparting a feeling of a deep depression that you might never crawl out of.
Hermits And Mandrakes
Druidess
A fine and promising Occult Doom Metal name is releasing is first EP.
Key To Your Kingdom
Tezza F
Tezza F is a one man Power Metal band from Verona Italy formed back in […]
Kings & Pawns
Die Entweihung
If you're into Black Metal, this release must be in you list of albums to hear.
Darkness Falls (The Early Years)
Desultory

Matter of a Darker Nature
Carnophage
This Turkish Technical Death Metal band is really very good. Taste it!
The Stench of Eternity
Cardiac Arrest
Old School Death Metal for Old School Death Metal maniacs! That's what this release is about.
Bag Seeker
Borer
Are you a Sludge/Stoner Metal addicted? So you must hear to this band.
Nadir
Groza
The album is a visceral journey through deep, unrelenting aggression that feels like a force of nature. The music is intense and punishing, with heavy riffs and thunderous percussion that create an almost suffocating atmosphere. Just when it feels like the weight of the world might be too much to bear, a sudden shift occurs, and the subtle melodies are not just moments of respite; they are perfectly placed to heighten the drama, amplifying a sense of impending doom. There’s a feeling of chaos that runs through the album, a sense that the world is on the brink of collapse, teetering on the edge of a cataclysm. But within this chaos, there’s a strange, almost beautiful order—a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is a fragile balance between destruction and creation.

Earth Lux
Earth Lux
The band isn’t short on talent, that much I know for sure. What needs the most work however is the songwriting. There just aren’t enough memorable songs to make a mark on me.
