How to... not do harsh symphonic metal.

Ian Highhill – A Hymn Among Gravestones
January 31, 2026
What I can tell you that in the forty minutes that you get to enjoy “A Hymn Among Gravestones” there is no escaping the fact that IAN HIGHHILL is capable or writing good songs that have a pull, that will draw you in and that will pique your interest from the first second until the last.
review
Avalanche – Armed To The Teeth
January 31, 2026
How Australian do you want to sound? Well, in the case of AVALANCHE very much so. The music they play can easily be categorised as Speedrock versions of what AC/DC and ROSE TATTOO have stood for all these years.
review
Tailgunner – Midnight Blitz
January 31, 2026
On 6 February 2026 the second piece of TAILGUNNER slab will hit the air and the shops. “Midnight Blitz” is brought to us by Napalm Records, and the fact that we as reviewers were only allowed to listen and review through a streaming link says enough about how important this band has become.
review
MØL – DREAMCRUSH
January 30, 2026
This is an album where Blackgaze breathes and burns. The genre has always lived in contradiction, but what truly sets the band apart is their heightened sense of melody. They steer the songs, and carve pathways through the distortion. They ache…they yearn, and they linger long after the track has collapsed. They prove that heaviness doesn’t have to sacrifice melody, and that melody doesn’t weaken intensity. Instead, the two feed each other, creating something vast, immersive, and deeply human.
review
Vesseles – Home
January 29, 2026
This was an excellent album. When you talk about Black Metal, particularly the Symphonic variety, it can be a very cinematic listening experience. This album was for sure. There was also some transference involved as I was further immersed in the album, as if I could see the world through Valira’s eyes. The sights were no horrid, they were burned into my memory, but like witnessing a train derailment, you just can’t look away. With better production, however, this could have been outstanding
review
Dimholt – MetaForm
January 29, 2026
This was an excellent album. Although it’s steeped in the early traditions of the genre, there was just enough risk taking to please listeners with need for a wider range of sound, while not alienating the average fan of Black Metal. Their musicianship is strong, they followed their vision, and the songs were powerfully aggressive.
review
Omnifear - Kingdom
January 29, 2026
Overproduction is a myth, it's not misogynistic, and it's not stale. Deathcore is great when done right - this was done right
review
I Hear Sirens – Stella Mori
January 28, 2026
One of the best features of the album is how the band plunges you head first into deep, murky waters, to let you explore the darker side of things, only to bring you back by the end. It’s quite an emotional rollercoaster of sound, as only Post Rock instrumentals can levy.
review
Oculi Melancholiarum – Antheraea
January 28, 2026
The album has a constant push and pull that is like a ride on an old wooden rollercoaster. You are jarred back and forth at every turn, yet the experience is enjoyable and a total adrenaline rush. She has claws and fans, which can cut deep, but she also radiates warmth, simplicity, and acceptance. When you are in her presence, you can’t help but feel content.
review
Savage Sword - Demo 2026
January 27, 2026
The production isn't great, and I love it.
review
El Muerto - Lost and Amsterdamned
January 27, 2026
"Lost and Amsterdamend" is a resplendent, yet dark album, and I want to hear more of this project down the road.

review
Meteora - Dissonance
January 26, 2026
“Dissonance” is a satisfying final installment to the “Darkest Light” trilogy.
review
Kaunis Kuolematon – Kun Valo Minussa Kuoli
January 26, 2026
I have to believe KAUNIS KUOLEMATON is at the forefront of the Finnish metal scene, a position they certainly deserve as evidenced by “Kun Valo Minussa Kuoli.”
review
Moros – Cemetery Hallucinations
January 25, 2026
Overall, this was a solid album. The band’s focus on the deep end of their sound keeps the riffs sounding massive, and towering. Add in the bass, which thickens it up further, and the vocals, which are raging and tortured, and you have a recipe for a good listening experience.
review
Usurper - Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development (and all demos)
January 25, 2026
I actually have the original CD of the USURPER album “Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development” in my possession. What we have here is the Dutch Thrash Metal version of USURPER, a band that was very active in the second half of the eighties up and until the early nineties.

“Time To Die” the title track from this EP is inspired by the cult 80’s […]
review
Predatory Void – Atoned in Metamorphosis
January 21, 2026
Although it’s just an EP, the band gave me a full taste of flavor, and I am intrigued. Indeed, they do blend a lot of genres together into a soup that has seasoning. But, if you try to separate out the parts, you will ruin the recipe. You just need to sit back and let it blend together, despite how uncomfortable it might make you feel.
review
Astarte - Blackdemonium
January 21, 2026
While this may not be an album I ever really go back to, I appreciated the time I had with it, and R.I.P. Tristessa.
review
Violent Testimony - Aggravate
January 21, 2026
The thrash-turned-grindcore project Violent Testimony released their first "full-length" LP, "Aggravate," via HPGD Records. "Full […]
review
The Holeum – Ensis
January 20, 2026
This was an outstanding album for me, and their genre/style can’t be pigeon holed. Part Doom, part Post Rock, part Progressive, and part Death, it’s the way that they mix these styles and the way they constantly shift between the two that is the best feature of the album. It forces me into a reflective state to ponder the many mysteries of the universe…and they are ones that we will never have answers for in our lifetime. Still, that exercise of deep thought isn’t a waste of time.
review
Flamecore - Flamecore
January 20, 2026
How could I have missed this little nugget of Greek melodeath?
review
Gorrch – Stillamentum
January 20, 2026
In many ways, it’s the purity of the album that makes it so compelling. I don’t usually like a tracklist where each song has a similar pace, but this one, goes so deep underground and so far into the stars, I don’t mind. A warning however…don’t listen to this album in the dark, because its fury and vengeance might close your eyes forever.
review
Lost in Existence – Atonement
January 20, 2026
It’s that contrast that keeps the music alive and energetic. I could do without the “bleghs,” but it was a solid listening experience for me. They have the talent and the vision…for next time, I would take a few more chances to help create that distance from their peers.
review
Glasgow Kiss - Down In Flames
January 20, 2026
I guess it kind of sounds like Within Temptation maybe?
review
Olde Outlier – From Shallow Lives to Shallow Graves
January 20, 2026
“From Shallow Lies to Shallow Graves” is full of filth, very sharp edges, and all the metal you can eat.
review
Vitamin X - Ride The Apocalypse
January 19, 2026
As the songs on “Ride The Apocalypse” are rather short, you might assume that they are lacking a good start, a solid body and a proper ending. Well, think again. VITAMIN X doesn’t only know how to give you a good time, they also have mastered the writing of good songs that have something to say in the short time they last.
review
Stellvris – Shatter And Bloom
January 18, 2026
The sound of “Shatter And Bloom” is inspired and influenced by many different Metal subgenres as well as by Pop elements. It is an interesting mix of everything, often alternating melodic and crushing elements

review
Dymytry Paradox - Born From Chaos
January 18, 2026
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.
