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.

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.

Blackshift

Ghostheart Nebula

The album reminded me of a slow, evil rot creeping over the lands. At first, people start getting sick from things they can’t see. When the blackness taints flowers and grey skies become more visible, some people begin to retreat, and others lose their sense of self. By the time the sickness and rot have taken hold, people wander aimlessly, and without a connection to others, the void has won.

The Promised Land?

Black Sites

What struck me most about the band is their talent. The songwriting was good as well, perhaps just a bit stale, but the energy they put into their music leaves no doubt that they are genuine to themselves, and that is all that matters in music…making something of your own, and leaving your mark.

Devil In The Dust

Distorta

Good promise from Australia.

I May Be Some Time

Million Moons

To summarize, the moon's phases represent the passage of time and cycles, and can symbolize the natural ebb and flow of life. Sometimes your life is difficult, and other times pleasant, and I’d like to think that the pleasant times outweigh the difficult ones. Through seven instrumental songs, you can experience this all of the natural flow of life and much more with a few listens to “I May Be Some Time” by MILLION MOONS.

Smog

Absorb

My only real complaint about the album is that it is too short. Just when I began to make peace with the dreadful mood, it was over. Still, if you can survive these three heart-piercing songs, you have real constitution. They beat you over the head when you are already down for the count, mercilessly.

Hellven

Zorza

I agree with the band that the only person you can really count on is yourself. The song titles fit the music very well, and in my head, I conjured images of evil, torture, vile creatures, and my own demise. It was a journey like no other.

Banished By Sin

Stellkira

Belushi Speed Ball

This Crossover/Hardcore/Thrash Metal release is plenty of different influences, and it's a 'must be' for the fans of such genres.

Under The Crooked Claw

BAT

Hear to this album and surrender to BAT's music!!!!

The Power

Moon Shot

Rock 'n' Roll as it must be, but with modern and with an eclectic appeal.

Hosana

Antiflesh

It’s evident from both the names of the band members and the music that this is true Black Metal. But, the music is inventive as well as uncompromising. Aggressive and frightening, it’s a soundtrack to your inner destruction.

Angels Of Babylon

Aquarius

Angels Of Babylon were started by drummer Kenny Rhino Earl (Manowar/Holyhell),vocalist Dave Fefolt (Hawk,Masi and […]

The Redneck And The Redman

Matney

The name Michael Matney is a hit for members of the underground post-punk scene, as […]

Azketem

The best part about the album for me is the doom and gloom, and it is easy for the listener to get lost within. As you move towards the shadows, it is so gradual that you don’t even notice losing little bits of yourself along the way until you become one with them, and there is no going back.

obsYdian

Soulbound

Many of the song are short, but very intense, and the album has a whole is smooth, polished, and has very clear production value. Obsidian is noted for its exceptionally smooth characteristics, such that one could even use it as a mirror, and that is what album quips. It’s a catchy album that is also hardened enough for Metal fans to love.

A Thousand and One Nights – Chapter One

Letallis

I liked the album, and would definitely be interested in hearing more of the tale…Chapter Two if you will. Jake is an accomplished musician and singer, and his effort are reflected in the album.

Abhorrence

Cognitive

Blasting into 2024 with their latest album “Abhorrence” which promises a bone-shattering technical death metal fused with deathcore

Dunkelglod

Dimbild

Not my cup of tea.

Haunted Dreams

Meifu

“Haunted Dreams” is steeped in Eastern flourishes, served up with a fat side of metaphysics and healthy main of Psych Doom. A hearty fare, this one.

Rapture

Anette Olzon

ANETTE OLZON. “Rapture.” Just a shit ton of inspiration, this album. Check it out and fall in love with Symphonic Metal all over again.
