Creye – IV: Aftermath
April 30, 2026
I will die on this hill: writing hooks is the single most difficult thing in music, and many bands just falls short. CREYE does not. It seems to just come natural for the quintet, although I suspect like anything else, they have to constantly twist and mold them. In the end, they deliver another outstanding effort, and they might be Frontiers Music’s best kept secret.

April 30, 2026
Foreignwolf are a four piece band formed in 2018,from Belfast Ireland.They are a close that […]
review
Michael Sweet - The Master Plan
April 30, 2026
As for any comparison to the music of STRYPER, accept for the vocals there is none. This is Melodic Rock; it’s much more acoustic, with only a few distorted guitars used here and there.
review
Teramaze - The Silent Architect
April 30, 2026
I will say this, though; there is not one second that is out of place throughout the whole album. All the songs that TERAMAZE have compiled here are without fault, make you feel just what the band wants, and are of an undeniable beauty.
review
to writhe love on her arms – where our fingertips meet
April 29, 2026
This was an album that’s an advanced study in contrasts. The vocals rage intensely at times, to the point that they grate in your ears and threaten to drive you mad. But much of the music is so pretty, you don’t mind. It raises your blood pressure to near boiling at times, and lowers it into a sleep like trance at others. Through it all, it carries you on an emotional journey through the stars, and while it played, I was at peace…at least while the songs lasted.
review
Wiggajake – Culmination of Self
April 28, 2026
I believe this album was a solo project, but you wouldn’t know it, because each instrument has its place in the grand scheme of the album, and equal attention is paid to the part each one plays. The violin is an excellent addition to the music, and as I mentioned, it isn’t over done. Instrumental music has to work harder for the listener, because you don’t have vocals or lyrics to guide you. This was an excellent album by a musician who knows how to compose music.
review
VLMV – There Will Come Soft Rains
April 28, 2026
For me, the album chronicled a brief moment in time of a given person’s life. From the moment you get out of the bed in the morning, how do you feel? Do you dread work? Worry about things endlessly? Many of us do both, and the first several songs reflected those feelings and the time we spend thinking about them. It was pensive, emotional, and poignant. But there was a transformation towards the end as we realize that it isn’t a useful exercise to constantly think of bad things in our life. The light came in, and the rain faded, and you can use those things to propel yourself forward.

Infestuous - Unfathomable Mutagenic Abominations
April 28, 2026
Claustrophobics beware... this record will leave you no space to breathe.
review
Putridarium - Natvm Ad Mortem
April 28, 2026
A death metal band name, a black metal title, and a hardcore punk-style album art and runtime. What the hell is going on with Putridarium?
review
Purple Skies – A Million Years
April 27, 2026
“A Million Years” is a very consistent undertaking. Doomy, bluesy, and moderately complex is my verdict.
review
Wolfbastard – Satanic Scum Punks
April 27, 2026
“Satanic Scum Punks” is the album Tipper Gore warned us about way back during the Satanic Panic of the 80’s.
review
Heiden – Cma
April 27, 2026
This was a delightfully tense album that lives in the forefront of your mind. When the band talks about tension, it’s threaded through every song. It’s not just an uneasy feeling, but more like a strangulation of coiled pressure about to snap. The vice tightens, like your throat, until you can barely breathe, and then you are snuffed out when the lights go out.
review
Carnivore A.D. – Transmutation
April 27, 2026
“Transmutation” makes me smile, but it also makes me want to get out the original albums and play them again. If that is what CARNIVORE A.D. set out to do, then they have achieved that feat with flying colours.
review
Metal Church - Dead To Rights
April 27, 2026
On “Dead To Rights” you will hear and invigorating and extremely inspired METAL CHURCH, very aware of the fact that they will not only have to meet, but also exceed a lot of the expectations that the Metal public will have concerned this new release.
review
Patriarchs in Black - Completely Covered In Black
April 27, 2026
What are my thoughts on what PATRIARCHS IN BLACK have chosen to play on their cover album “Completely Covered In Black”? The answer really was much easier to give than I would have thought beforehand; I like it a lot.
review
Mount Palatine - Wormholy World
April 27, 2026
The album's Bandcamp information is quite intriguing, especially when you discover that their bassist is named Count Boogie, their drummer is Lord of the Groove, and the main man, handling vocals, guitars, and synths, is Jean the Baron.
review
Voidhämmer – Noxious Emissions
April 27, 2026
“Noxious Emissions” deliver a relentless blend of Death Metal with Doom Metal and Crust elements
review
Rotten Sound – Mass Extinction
April 27, 2026
Classic Grindcore is still alive and well. ROTTEN SOUND stick to their roots and still deliver class after 30+ years
review
Heavenwood – The Tarot of the Bohemians – Part II
April 26, 2026
Although the album has a rough start, being stuck in the mud with obligatory harsh vocals and simple riffs, it successfully transitioned to the sounds that are familiar to those of us who enjoy the genre of dark and gothic metal. Things like lower register clean vocals, harmonies, hooks, and memorable melodies are the best parts for me.
review
Dance With The Dead - Malombra
April 26, 2026
When I received my first and only iPod when I was sub-ten years old, I threw a couple bucks in the wind and, on my mother's phone, downloaded some Alan Walker, Slushii, Marshmellow, and other electronic artists' hit singles. I was a weird kid. One of those acts would foretell my infatuation with metal, that being DANCE WITH THE DEAD.
review
Omnivortex - Throne Of Absolute Chaos
April 26, 2026
I'm partial when it comes to Finnish metal; I wrote for a Finnish metal magazine, puhun vähän suomea, and they do hold the record for the highest density of metal bands per capita.
review
Conjuring – Memento Mori
April 24, 2026
Balance is key on the album, and in many ways, Alvar is right. You can’t have light without darkness…good without bad…hope without despair. These themes interconnect with the music very well, and for every instance of aggression, there are also moments of pure beauty. Even the album cover presents this dichotomy…two skulls (death) wedged between brightly colored flowers (life).
review
Martin Templum Domini – Mankind
April 24, 2026
I do like it when a band gets it right. And that is exactly what MARTIN TEMPLUM DOMINI does. They get it right. Yes, like any instrumental album within the Metal range you get a guitarist that is showing off his immense and (sometimes) impressive skills in a masturbatory way, and some put that ahead of the music in general. Thankfully these guys have not made that error.
review
Poseydon - Time Is A River And The Waters Are Red
April 24, 2026
As POSEYDON is a band that has been around the block a few times before now, I knew I could expect a band doing it just right. Well, that definitely is true on “Time Is A River And The Waters Are Red”, as they have delivered a very solid album this time.
review
Tumultuous Ruin – An Abscess on the Heart of the State
April 24, 2026
Overall, this wasn’t a bad album by any stretch, but it just failed to separate itself from the thousands of other bands out there in like genres. Intriguing at times, it was largely bland for me.
review
Supralunar - Dead Come To Dance
April 24, 2026
SUPRALUNAR is a Heavy Rock band from start to finish, with a sideline into Party Rock, as some of the songs on “Dead Come To Dance” will show, starting with the title track. What the band does on this album is pleasant, very easy for the ears and a joy to listen to at a party, or when you’re in the mood for some light-hearted entertainment.
review
Oldowan Gash – 1000 Dreams of War
April 24, 2026
Purists may find this album to their liking, but for me, it was just another monotonous FWOBM release that held steady within the early confines of the genre.

review
Misty Route - Ethos
April 23, 2026
Most alt-metal I've listened to only scrapes the iceberg of introspectivity, so I'm ready to observe the "Ethos" of Misty Route.
review
Morkdod – Book of Lamentations
April 22, 2026
This isn’t just Black Metal from Russia. It’s more on the scale of gravity that caused the nuclear reaction to melt down in Chernobyl in the late 80’s. Place yourself there. It could have killed most people on the continent of Europe, and that realization must have been an impossible pill to swallow from anyone who has a conscience. There’s blackness, and then there’s the void. This album is the latter.
review
So Hideous – Last Poem/First Light
April 22, 2026
Balance is key on the album. The aggression is off the charts, and the vocals can make your ears bleed, but the melodic tones are there to temper them, and each are offered with the same emotionally quality.
review
coffret de bijoux - lose myself in you
April 22, 2026
I've been eating a lot of tinned fish recently. I started with tuna, then salmon (the best), and recently I tried some sardines with preserved lemon. I've really been enjoying myself on this fish journey, and I'm having a similar journey with Alice Simard's metal projects, this here being my fourth.
review
IATT - Etheric Realms of the Night
April 22, 2026
In the promo package, we see that the men of IATT, clad in black and posing near taxidermy in a presumably abandoned building, look exactly like their music: dark, yet intellectual

review
Urluk – Memories in Fade
April 21, 2026
There are mash-ups, and there are mash-ups. One of the harder parts of being a music reviewer is identifying the genre you are listening to so that fans of music can have a guide as to what they might like. The best part of this album is that it doesn’t conform to any one genre or sound. Yet, it’s pliable, meaning you can bend it, form it, and squeeze it into any shape you want, and that is what you will get.
review
Argovia – Primal Repetition
April 21, 2026
Although the band shows ample Progressive tendencies on the album, the main focus is where it should be…songwriting, the development of melody, use of crescendos to mark emotional changes, and a storyline that works so well with the music. Some Progressive Rock music can lose the listener in a circuitous route to the end, but this album sets a path for the listener that you can follow confidently moving forward.
