Xenos A.D. - Reqviem For The Oppressor
June 18, 2025
If you look up XENOS A.D. on the Metal Archives it says that they are a Thrash Metal band. That is partly true, but then you will have to say that METALLICA also is a pure Thrash metal band. When that band first came to the scene the were dubbed a Speed Metal band, and I feel that is also what XENOS A.D. really is.

Aeon Winds – An Ode to the Mountains
June 18, 2025
It was so well crafted, with every detail in tow, and it flowed from start to finish like a river winding its way through a mountain path. It was firm and aggressive enough for all Black Metal fans to enjoy, but also had enough other elements to spice up the nine-course meal to your taste.
review
Moths – Septum
June 16, 2025
This was a strange album, but many Progressive albums are. The clean vocals sounded ritualistic at times, as if they came from a shamanka, while the harsh vocals provided an aggressive bite. There was also a steady line of psychedelica running through the songs. This is an intriguing band that I would love to hear more from.
review
Signum Regis - The Eyes of Power (Reissue)
June 16, 2025
A 15 year old album that doesn't seem far off from the very best of the Power Metal generation of the last decade yet with a neo-classical twist that still doesn't get old.
review
Skräcken – Echoes from the Void
June 15, 2025
“Echoes from the Void” bears repeating. A lot. Sofie-Lee’s vocals are spectacular, and the band is extremely tight.
review
Morbyda – Under the Spell
June 15, 2025
MORBYDA’s debut “Under the Spell” blends the raw energy and anger of betrayed youth with the evil machinations of an exterminating angel.
review
Phantom Spell – Heather & Hearth
June 13, 2025
This was an excellent album, and considering it was created by one person says a lot about it. For me, it has an old school Progressive ring to it, akin to KANSAS or KAIPA. The song are structure well, and they bring up a lot of emotion, as any good album would. There is also some mystery about the album, and that’s what brings me back wanting more.

Hermyth - Aether
June 12, 2025
This Italian Shoegaze/Metalgaze act really surprises with its music! Rear to it, NOW!
review
Grave Speaker - Rays of the Emerald Sun
June 12, 2025
If this Doom Metal/Stoner Metal band can set its ideas in a better shape, they'll be good. But for now, it has a long way to go.
review
Clamfight - Clamfight
June 12, 2025
Maybe some lessons about the mix of Stoner Metal with Sludge Metal could be learned while hearing to this band.
review
Drouth – The Teeth of Time
June 12, 2025
This was an excellent album. The songs were meticulously crafted, thick, aggressive, and dark…everything you would want from a Black Metal album. But, this isn’t the usual FWOBM release. Their intense aggression is bested only by their intricate songwriting.
review
Eleventh Ray – Reviving Tehom
June 11, 2025
This amalgam of Black/Thrash/Death Metal was at least uncommon in some of its approach, but it mostly relied on riffs that you have heard before, and they didn’t do enough the really elevate their sound.
review
Unmerciful - Devouring Darkness
June 11, 2025
Hell yes, if your idea of a good times involves getting sonically flattened by a […]
review
Lights of Vimana – Neopolis
June 9, 2025
There are albums that reflect sadness, and then there is “Neopolis,” that do not reflect despair so much as become it, filling the room like a choking fog, inhaling any hope before it can take root. This is not music crafted for catharsis. It is the sound of being pinned beneath the weight of permanence—a slow, unrelenting erosion of emotional ground. You don’t emerge from this album—you fade into it. It leaves you blinking at silence, wondering if you imagined the light at all. It’s not that “Neopolis” offers no hope; it’s that it reminds you how easily hope is consumed—how quickly beauty can be buried beneath weight and wire.
review
Domkraft - Domkraft
June 9, 2025
DOMKRAFT, “Doomkraft.” If you missed their debut in 2015, you get a second chance in 2025. Nothing like being ten years late for the party . . . but in the metalsphere there never really is such a thing as being too late.
review
Raging Slayer - Catatonic Symphony
June 8, 2025
Catatonic Symphony, not to be confused with the album of the same name by Basterdane […]
review
Claymorean - Eternal Curse
June 6, 2025
In just over 48 minutes you are treated to 48 minutes of CLAYMOREAN style Metal, and as far as I’m concerned, the main ingredient is still Power Metal, although it is larded with a lot of Heavy Metal parts and riffs.
review
Black Majesty - Oceans Of Black
June 6, 2025
I have enjoyed listening to BLACK MAJESTY. If you are one of those who loves your Epic and Melodic parts to be part of it, I feel that I just might have handed you another jewel in your crown. And hey, maybe you are one of those who already knew and appreciated BLACK MAJESTY. If you are, you will definitely enjoy “Oceans Of Black”.
review
Temple Fang - Lifted From The Wind
June 5, 2025
Besides this release can be hard to some to deal with due its long songs, the band shows a very good work, indeed.
review
Miss Vain - Sempiternal Drive
June 5, 2025
A fine mix of influences is what is offered by this rocker Finnish quintet.
review
Haemorrhage - Opera Medica
June 5, 2025
These Spanish Goregrind/Death Metal pioneers created a fine EP, indeed.
review
Black & Damned - Resurrection
June 5, 2025
Wow, these Germans created an excellent and modern Heavy/Power Metal release!

review
Prophets Tomb – Through Pain
June 4, 2025
This album was filthy, sludgy, and sounded like it came from the swaps of Louisiana. Besides the sheer weight of their sound, which is noteworthy, they were also able to work in some supporting elements that gave the album depth. It wasn’t overly complicated, but just enough, to keep the listener on their toes, and provide some sugar that they want to come back for.
review
Low Beneath The Breeze – A Hole Beneath the Home we Shared
June 3, 2025
This was a disturbing album, and I mean that in a few ways…disturbing because of the images it brought forth, disturbing in the way the music personified torture, and disturbing to think that this came from the minds of the quartet. But, I love music that is outside of the box, and music that is vivacious and vital, and that is what this album was for me.
review
Memories of a Lost Soul – Songs from the Restless Oblivion
June 3, 2025
I haven’t heard this many elements packed into a Metal band in some time. Some might call the effort overly-ambitious, and there are some phasing issues here and there, but it’s a solid album. There is enough diversity in sound to reel in some new fans, as well as enough tradition to keep the older fans satisfied.
review
Goot - The Toll Remains The Same
June 3, 2025
This is bloody good music by a very pleasant sounding band. What they play is Melodic Heavy Metal that acquires and it has gotten a very powerful sound.
review
Helheim – Blod & Ild
June 2, 2025
"Blod & Ild" got a lot of attention when it first came out, and deservedly so. Whether you somehow get hold of the vinyl before it’s gone or you just download the digital like the rest of mortals, it’s still a hell of an album.
review
Katatonia – Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State
June 2, 2025
As the first album without one of the founding members, the band has forged ahead. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention some of traditions from Anders are missing, but good bands find ways to work past departures. For long time fans, there are a few surprises, but the core of what you love is still there. The newer approach may also bring with it some new fans. Their signature sound of bleak resonance and bleeding density are still very much alive.
review
Gama Bomb – Necronomicon Automaton
June 2, 2025
“Necronomicon Automaton” sends out a message: old school Thrash Metal is alive and well!
review
Nemus Anima – Rivers Flow Red
June 1, 2025
Overall, this wasn’t a bad album per se, and keep in mind that it is a one-man band. It just failed to excite me as a listener, and that is the bottom line.
review
Neurotech – Exo Escapism
May 30, 2025
In a landscape crowded with genre hybrids that often lean too far into excess or restraint, this is a rare achievement: an album that feels physically heavy without ever surrendering its melodic soul. It’s music made of metal and mist—where industrial-weight electronics and punishing riffs grind against your chest while smooth, celestial vocals float above. The songs are meticulously constructed: verses draw you in with layered synthwork and eerie calm, only to erupt into choruses that balance monolithic riffs with earworm hooks. There’s an understanding here of dynamics, of emotional escalation. You don’t just hear the songs—you’re pulled through them. In short, it doesn’t ask you to choose between power and polish. It gives you both. It’s the sound of machinery dreaming. A storm with a lullaby stitched into its eye.
