Rising

Emotional Fire

Emotional Fire are a female fronted Melodic Rock band from Sweden.They were formed in 2022 […]

Horrifier

MRSA

Horror Movies Galore!

A Whispered Curse

Plague Pit

or whatever the hell anything is called nowadays...

Brushed By Darkness

Obelisk

Musically OBELISK are a bit of Electronic Rock mixed with Alternative Music and sometimes Industrial Metal. Let me warn you; “Brushed By Darkness” definitely is not a typical Metal album. OBELISK does require you to cast your net a whole lot wider.

Born From Chaos

Dymytry Paradox

What is immediate is the feeling that even though this might be a debut album for DYMYTRY PARADOX, these are definitely not newbies at playing this kind of music. This is intense, this is energetic, this is enticing.

Reign Of Steel

Death Dealer

As far as DEATH DEALER's music is concerned, you can compare “Reign Of Steel” to anything you might hear from THE THREE TREMORS in comparison to any other band the members are active in. This is very Heavy Power Metal with a lot of over the top vocals complementing the rather busy, utterly impressive and quite intense and intricate guitar playing by the two outstanding guitarists.

With The End Comes Silence

Assignment

Musically this is sandwiched between some subtle Melodic Metal and pure unadulterated Heavy Metal. You will hear the band bouncing from one to another and back with great ease, giving the music on “With The End Comes Silence” a versatility that avoids you getting bored in that respect.

Keep Them at a Distance

Miasme

First, consider the duality of the album, and how effortlessly it explores both the dark side of existence, as well as the lighter side. Now, consider that this entire album was composed by one person. Perhaps the greatest compliment I can offer is how fluid it runs through these varied landscapes.

Oblivisci

Outlying

A vocal dilemma that I took seriously.

Purgartory

Phasma

Controlled chaos is what I call the album. It teeters on the very edge of the precipice of just falling over into the black hole and disappearing forever, but somehow the band manages to maintain control. Much of the music is weighted, aggressive, and intricate, and the vocals reign down continually like a storm of fists on your head. It’s a very disturbing death…the kind that ends completely bloody. How can you control something that is literally out of control? Ask PHASMA.

Dancing With Ther Devil

Lynch Mob

"Dancing With The Devil", is the farewell album from legendary guitarist George Lynch and Lynch […]

Symbiotic Dream

Black Pig Meat

Overall, this was just a fun album to listen to. It undulates with a free flowing rhythm and the band is never out of step. Indeed, they play like seasons veterans, and although it does explore the landscape well, it is never too far off the path. For me, it’s the kind of album you can just put on and let it ride.

The Bereaved

Marianas Rest

“Channeling deep melancholy” is about as good of a descriptor as I can think of to describe the album. The depth of that melancholy seems to travel to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and stays there forever, lost and forgotten by the sands of time.

Right Here, Right Now

Our Oceans

From the gorgeous album cover, to the lovely words on the song-by-song sheet, Our Oceans have developed an aesthetic of their own.

Quan tot s’apagui

Syberia

Sometimes, the level of weight and emotionally crushing tones are so close to overwhelming you, you almost want to stop the music in its tracks. At other times, they beg you to stop and look around, taking in as many things that might tickle your senses as possible. Each layer of this music is just so easy to peel though, and I find more discoveries with each listen.

This World We Live In...

Cryoxyd

Alright, this one took me a little while to get into.

Silhouettes

Violet

Although the EP only had five studio tracks, you can chart the band’s progress from earlier work to now, and they really hit their stride here on this album. It’s catchy, fun, energetic, and they know how to deliver a chorus, fresh and ready.

Life is just a phase

Seven Blood

Life is Just a Phase is the debut LP of German metal band Seven Blood, and it's an […]

Koulemankello

Perkeet

Like I needed to get into another band whose name I can’t come close to pronouncing correctly much less spell.

Ill-Gotten Gains

Aittala

“Ill-Gotten Gains” is an EP for our times.

Radici

Diespnea

This album is largely a study in contrasts. Just when you think the sound is settling, it jars into another direction. It isn’t typical of the FWOBM or even the SWOBM…instead, it’s experimental, with outstanding musicianship, far reaching, visionary, and pleasing in the oddest sort of way.

Sounds Of Malice

Redivider

As this is as Death Metal as music can get, the emphasis can now shift unto how and what REDIVIDER are bringing on “Sounds Of Malice”. Well, let me start by saying that the production of this album is without fault. It is hard, it is Heavy, but it also is transparent and very clear, making sure that you are able to hear what the band wants you to hear.

Sinister Resurrection of the Morbid

Adetar

Bloody Hell, this does take me back some years, or should I say eons? I remember ADETAR from the early nineties, as they hail from ENSCHEDE in my home country, and I not only saw them live, I also booked them at our youth centre at the time.

Origin

Another Realm

I don't remember symphonic prog being this unexciting...

Gods Don’t Take Calls

Walk In Darkness

WALK IN DARKNESS offer a blend of symphonic and melodic Metal with Gothic twists. Symphonic/melodic Metal fans, who like it dark and slow will enjoy their new album

Shadow Work

Despised Icon

“Shadow Work” goes beyond classical Deathcore and moves boundaries with Hardcore twists and Death Metal vibes being evident in many of the album songs

Killkarma

SELIAS

Phew! A BIG slice of modern melodeath!

Melody

Autumns Child

Mickael Erlandson is a man who needs no further introduction to Melodic Rock. He has […]

Mothers

Drowned In Silver

I have to say is that although this goes way beyond that which I’m used to listening, I found myself being utterly intrigued and, in this case, even mesmerised by what I hear on “Mothers”. Even though the songs are quite lengthy, DROWNED IN SILVER never gives you the feeling that they are too long.

Songs Of The Hungry Ghosts

Harmozel

HARMOZEL doesn’t have a record deal, so the thing to do is to self-release the debut album “Songs Of The Hungry Ghosts”. And what is very clear from the start is yes, this is Doom Metal. There is no way you can confuse this for anything else.

Rise Of The Immortals

Hounds

HOUNDS are an Italian Heavy/US Power Metal band born in 2016. Their music is mainly inspired by the great masters of Heavy Metal and 80s US Power Metal, including JUDAS PRIEST, SAVATAGE and VIRGIN STEELE. Well, if that doesn’t sound promising, I don’t know what does.

Old Night - Mediterranean Melancholy

Old Night

The songs are clearly written and recorded by a band that has been together for quite some time. Everything on “Mediterranean Melancholy” is rather lengthy, but not once are you wondering when the song is going to end. There are no boring pieces, you will hear no fillers being used by OLD NIGHT, be it short or long.

We Are One (single)

Rozario

Heavy metal rockers ROZARIO return with the second single/video from their upcoming album “Northern Crusaders” and promise to keep the “Northern Crusade” rampaging.

Life in Seven Dreams

Laughing Stock

I mentioned that the album seems to be more about exploring the journey than arriving at any destination. Certain Progressive Rock music features subtle complexities that may challenge even seasoned listeners. I found the material here to be reflective of that. It might be one of the best features of the genre however…that sense of mystery and having to peel back the layers to find what’s underneath.

Rituals of a Dying Light

Deadwood

A short but sweet slice of Blackened (?) Deathcore.

Annisokay

Abyss - The Final Chapter, the latest album by German metalcore outfit Annisokay, rips clean through the […]
