The Savage Weapon
Crucible
A fine breakthrough from this Danish Old School Speed Metal runners.
Experience Machine
Announce The Apocalypse
The album wasn’t a total loss, but the formulas used in the compositions meant that it would never get off the ground. The riffs are too simple, use too many open notes, and the shouted vocals don’t add much either.
Designing Chaos
Jack Brain
This type of music can be done one of two ways in my opinion. The first way is to go all in on the dissonance…embrace it, push it, and let it fill your ears with the sweet sounds of dismay. The second way, and that it what we have here, is to guise the dissonance by trying to push vocal melodies, but when that fails, what we have left is an awful sound.
Night Slasher
Night Slasher
Their name is perfect for their music. A night slasher is someone who scarves up unsuspecting victims in the darkness of the shadows, and uses a knife so that he can feel their pain in his hands. I picture this album playing in the background as he claims one victim after another, smiling coyly.
This Is It
Deully
A young boy grows up in Canada and turns his passion to music instead of hockey, and with that passion strives to deliver a unique and eccentric sound drawing inspiration from a personal journey of self-discovery.
Stop the War
Paul Di ’Anno’s Warhorse
Can you teach an old dog new tricks? or should I say, can an old dog teach us new tricks? Paul Di’Anno will answer that question with his newest effort with his latest band WARHORSE.
The Stronghold
The Lumberjack Feedback
This was a solid album. Instrumentals can be hard to keep the listener’s attention because there are no vocals. But I appreciate the way the band holds a set of weighted accents and just lets the melody peek through every now and again. This kind of restraint allows the more contentious sounds to plow through.
Sounds Of The Forgotten
Witherfall
WOW, once again, the North American Heavy/Progressive Metal warriors created a masterpriece!
Phantoma
Unleash the Archers
Keeping its roots and giving a step ahead, the Canadian quintet is up to get to the next level.
Beyond the Void
Machiavellian God
The balance that the band was able to maintain between heavy, weighted aggression and tender vulnerability was impressive, and the stretched both extremes of the style. The heavier side comes at you with the wrath of a thunderstorm, while the lighter side shines through the black clouds like a beacon of warm light.
Daenacteh
Deception
“Daenacteh” is a crushing and spine-chilling symphonic Death Metal album, which is epic, and melancholic at times
Christus Hypercubus
Messiah
“Christus Hypercubus” is a good mixture of aggressive Death/Thrash Metal with very distinctive and versatile vocals
Temple of God
Mind Conflict

The Deceivers
Dååth
Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat—the band clearly has talent and musicianship, and the songs are tightly composed and excellently produced. What needs work however is the songwriting itself. There is just not enough variation from song to song, and they play it safe too much. 13 years is indeed a long hiatus, and a lot has happened since then. Back then, this might have been a shining example of prowess, but today, it seems to me to be just another mediocre release.
Until Where The Northern Lights Reign
Arcana Tales
One man power metal journey.
The Traitor
Nulled
It could be “The Traitor” is too ambitious for a full-length album and an EP may have sufficed. But then again, if Deathcore is your jam, then it just might be the album of the year for you.
Restos
Karnak Seti
“Restos” is a relentless assault of Melodic Death with a thick edge of groove from the beginning to end.
Mirrors
Djiin
This was one of the most unique albums I have ever heard, and my review summary seems admittedly disjointed. The band has talent, and they know how to compose and ride a melody line. A good deal of the sound, however, was rooted in psychedelics, and other dark things that don’t often come up in conversation. In a way, it reflects the experience that many of us have with life, but we typically put on a smile to wear over it. A mirror reflects the mood that you feel when looking at it.
Wonder
Lights & Motion
Crafting an uplifting album experience without vocals is indeed a challenging task, yet this album manages to achieve exactly that with remarkable finesse. Through its compositions and melodies, it weaves a tapestry of joy, hope, and inspiration that transcends the need for words. In the end, this album is a testament to the transformative power of music and its ability to uplift, inspire, and unite us all. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most profound messages are conveyed not through speech, but through the universal language of music.
It's Here, But I Have No Names For It
sleepmakeswaves
For me, the album had a tranquil and uplifting atmosphere, leading to feelings of comfort and rejuvenation, much like a warm breeze on a cool spring day, perfect for moments of relaxation and reflection.
Soft Eyes
Ba'al
“A path between shadows, the moment the sun slips below the horizon” all point to the coming of night. The darkness has been imbued with symbolic significance, representing the unknown, the unconscious mind, and the realm of magic and spirituality. It's a time when boundaries blur, and the ordinary world intersects with the supernatural, sparking feelings of fascination and reverence. If you hop on this bus to explore the album, you may never return.
All Things Shining
Oh Hiroshima
This album was mysterious for me, and, as any good album does, leaves the listener with more questions than answers. It stimulates intellectual curiosity and encourages active engagement with the music and lyrics, and invites repeated listens to uncover new layers of meaning with each encounter. Its thematic depth leaves room for individual interpretation.
Beneath the Threshold
Austere
This is a mashup of Black and Doom Metal, but it’s so much more than this label. It delves deeply into themes of sorrow, anguish, and introspection, evoking a visceral sense of loss, pain, and regret. Interwoven with themes of mortality, and existential reflection, the music's intensity is indeed noteworthy, as it immerses listeners in a haunting journey through the depths of human emotion. Life can be more painful than death.
The End of my Road
Far Beyond
Considering this was a one-person project, the compositions are crafted with meticulous care, and the arrangements are energetic and sweeping. I like the positive spin on the album, and fans of complex but accessible music will eat this with a spoon.
DEATHinitive Love AtmosFEAR
Tellus Terror
After 10 years of waiting, the Brazilian sextet is back and shows another extreme Music masterpiece!
Defleshed Exhumation
Necrotum
A Death Metal trio in a "Death Metal Old ways".
Make Me the Heart of the Black Hole
Hyloxalus
Even under the label of Symphonic Power Metal, this canadian trio has some surprises to show with its music.
Masters Of My Sins
Gengis Khan
THis Italian Heavy Metal act unleashes what can be called "Heavy Metal to the core"!
Love Will Fix It
Emil Bulls
With such modern mix of influences, this German band really unleashed and excellent release!
Ascending in Synergy
Elvellon
Even without reiventing Symphonic Metal, this German quintet really created a fine release.
Turning Point
Becoming The Lion
And here is a fine release with a mix of influences of Prog Metal, Post-Metal and Alternative Metal.
Limitless
Any Given Day
An explosive Metalcore release is what this German quintet offers.
Ondfødt
Ondfødt
This album was dense, immersive, and an intense listening experience, and should be celebrated for their uncompromising sound and ability to create an overwhelmingly harrowing sonic experience for listeners.
Digital Pollution
Wasp Mother
It is not everyday that I have to review a release that lasts less than […]
Whispers of Ancient Spells
Skuggor
This was a decent album, and keeping in mind that it was composed by a singular person, it meets all the criteria for the genre…harrowing vocals, massive riffs, and galloping drums. It’s not going to blow the listener away, but it was fairly solid.
