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.

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
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
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.
review
Noise Trail Immersion – Tutta La Morte In Un Solo Punto
May 30, 2025
“Tutta La Morte In Un Solo Punto” doesn’t knock—it kicks the door off its hinges and storms in bloodied, teeth bared, yet terrifyingly composed. This is not the chaos of tantrums or mindless fury—this is precision rage, channeled just enough to keep the machinery from self-destructing. It represents the sound of control barely holding, and is a monument to pressure, violence, and the beauty of not quite falling apart.

review
Mares of Thrace – The Loss
May 28, 2025
This was a complicated album in terms of how many different styles of Metal were represented, but the messages were received loud and clear. Although I personally don’t care for some of the shouted vocals, that is a preference only and not reflective of how well the album is constructed. I will say one thing for sure, don’t listen to this if you are already in a bad mood, because its tentacles might reach out and pull you under the water.
review
Falling From Grace – At the Edge
May 28, 2025
This album was an excellent listening experience. It had many of the elements that Metalheads crave, including aggressiveness, weight, and even some thick grooves. The riffs were catchy, the harsh vocals were thick and lively, and the entire album had a lot of energy. This is definitely a band to keep an eye on.

review
Sacred Oath - Demo Anthology (1985-1986)
May 28, 2025
I like SACRED OATH, as they have musical similarities to bands like MERCYFUL FATE, but also some Progressive bands like very early FATES WARNING. There are a lot more influences you will hear, but they will expose themselves to you when you take a listen.
