Helm's Deep (The Demo Anthology)

Brocas Helm

The biggest plus of “Helm's Deep (The Demo Anthology)” is the fact that for a demo album is sounds bloody good. Every song is very distinguishable in sound, and not one of the instruments is being overshadowed by the others. This goes to show the level of professionalism BROCAS HELM has always been capable of bringing to the table.

Descent into Madness

Grim Colossus

From Bandcamp, “Descent Into Madness” follows the journey of a man who after his studies […]

Prophecy

Reach

Creative Rock

The Paradox

Eradicator

ERADICATOR deliver a decent Thrash Metal album driven by excellent guitar and bass work

Inane Ducam

Atavistia

“Inane Ducam” is an excellent symbiosis of relentless Death Metal hammering with Black Metal twists, of well-composed orchestral arrangements, and of a dark melodic framework

The Undoing

Varices

This Old School Melodic Death Metal in the Swedish way (tempered with Groove Metal touches) is hard to resist to!

I

Stoned Space

A fine instrumental release that combines Progressive Rock with Hard Rock and Heavy Metal influences.

Ensnared

Paradox Rift

Maybe we are seeing the coming of what can be called Post-Death Metal on this release.

World on Fire

Millennial Reign

If one think that US Metal and US Power Metal have nothing more to show, then comes a release like this to show that things can be endless...

The Mortuary Hauntings

House By The Cemetary

This is a piece of what Old School Death Metal must be.

Palm Reader

High Desert Queen

A fine Stoner Metal release with groove and Hard Rock touches.

Detrimental Paratomy

Necrocene

I don’t need gargle bargle in crystal clear 4k hi-def quality. I need it real, genuine, and ugly.

Hypnotised

Spektra

Spektra are back with their sophomore album “Hypnotised” the follow up to their debut album […]

Resurrection

Surrender

Surrender is a melodic/AOR powerhouse band formed on Long Island New York in 1995.Over the […]

Viaticum

Darkend

What I like most about the album is the combination of traditional Black Metal with modern twists. For me, it shows a sextet that is true to their roots, but also not afraid to branch out and use techniques that some of their peers wouldn’t. The result is a winning album that interesting as it is provocative.

Bornhatred

Abreaktion

Chilean thrash metal maestros ABREAKTION's new EP release "Bornhatred" will certainly put the fire in the belly (and ears) of many metal fans.

Senescence

Vile Rites

This was an impressive display of technical and progressive death metal that didn’t stray too far from the path, but just far enough to allow the listener to gain a greater understanding of the possibilities that are out there.

Category 7

As you would expect and hope, the production of "Category 7" is top notch. Hard, Heavy hitting, but still with enough space for the Melodic parts that are being played. As far as I can tell CATEGORY 7 is launching themselves into the Premier League Of Thrash Metal.

Schizophrenia

Cavalera

As I see it “Schizophrenia” should be the last album that needs the CAVALERA treatment, as from the next SEPULTURA album onwards, “Beneath The Remains”, the sound has been impeccable. So now you can enjoy every SEPULTURA album with a sound deserving of the music.

Heathen Cross

Cloven Hoof

If you are talking about t a band that has been around for ages, the one that most prople do not think of from the start is CLOVEN HOOF. But, they did start life in 1979 and they might never have entered the Premier League of NWOBHM, but they were there nevertheless.

Dreadful Company

DD Verni

DD VERNI is hitting everything on the head with a vengeance. He is taking no prisoners. If you dopn't understand what he is soinging you are lacking the basic knowledge of the English language. Not one word is too difficult to grasp, and he is making sure you know what he means. On top of that he is playing everything himself, except for the drums and some guest guitarists. That makes “Dreadul Company” even more impressive in my book.

Spilling the Astral Chalice

Siderean

This is Death Metal, through and through, but it also has an air of sophistication to it. Many of its mysteries are hidden in its layers, and you have to peel them back to experience them. As technical as it is Progressive, it hits the listener on a variety of levels and emotions, and makes one think deeply. My only complaint about the album is that I want more…the darkness summons.

Gravesight

Human Infection

The most memorable parts are the bad parts, and everything else is just “meh.”

Nightfall Enthralled

Ancient Guard

“Nightfall Enthroned” by ANCIENT GUARD is a lo-fi, heavily shrouded swath of contemplative Black Metal, both Atmospheric and visceral. A solid debut for the latest Nightwolf project.

Houses Of The Unholy

Grand Massive

GRAND MASSIVE’s “House of the Unholy” is a sturdy bridge between studio LPs. Clever title, bizarre and striking cover, first-rate tracks throughout, and a convincing cover to round it all out.

British Disaster The Battle of '89 (Live At The Astoria)

Exodus

EXODUS has nailed another good one on my list. “British Disaster The Battle of '89 (Live At The Astoria)” is one of the best live recordings I have heard in the last number of years, and it will undoubtedly be part of my phone's play list for a very long time.

Altar Of Instant Gratification

Duft

I am currently listening to DUFT, a Metalcore/Hardcore band that came to fruition in 2021. now, some three years later, they are releasing their debut album with the extensive title “Altar Of Instant Gratification”. I was very hesitant at first, as I felt that this was just a very limited Metalcore record. Did I change my mind?

Unbroken

Floodfall

FLOODFALL. I have been on the site of the band, and I can't find the time that these guys got together. And,m as these two have the same surname, what kind of connection they have with each other. So, I am not in a position to tell you a whole lot more.

Renouncement

Motivik

MOTIVIK originates from Atlanta, Georgia, USA and if you try to listen to what kind of music they play you will end up classifiying it as Melodic Thrash mixed with Heavy Metal, all in a contemporary setting.

Bovine Mockeries of Human Posturing

Wrektomb

WREKTOMB is a death/doom metal band from Baltimore, Maryland; “Bovine Mockeries of Human Posturing,” is […]

Master's Personae

Exhumination

All in all, EXHUMINATION 's “Master's Persona” is an album that breaks back the danger and volatile atmosphere of death metal.

Mask of Lies

Dendera

Mask of Lies is an album full of quality. Melody, harmony and downright aggressiveness are the pillars that hold this record up and those about to hear it will NOT want to turn it off.

Ontology of Naught

Ingurgitating Oblivion

From Bandcamp, “Unsurprisingly, considering the band's acclaimed body of work to date, this is no […]

Unholy Decent

Pathology

Deep within the south Cali heat of San Diego comes a technical brutality of putrid death bombardment that will leave you wanting more

Rite De Passage

Big Sun

Too soft for my metal ears.

ReHydration

Hydra

HYDRA is different than a lot of AOR bands out there, due to their liberal use of keyboards along with the guitars, and much of their music on the album is expressive and deep with emotional layers. In my opinion, the are closer to JOURNEY than RATT, but that is neither here nor there. The album has plenty of big hooks, and I can’t imagine fan of the genre who would not like this album.
