Abyssal Vacuum – Abyssal Vacuum
April 27, 2025
“Abyssal Vacuum” is only a debut insomuch as it’s the band’s first full-length. The songwriting and the execution and the production all clearly demonstrate these lads are not new to the game. Highly recommended, this one.
review
Executionist - Sacrament of the Sick
April 26, 2025
EXECUTIONIST has made sure that every song has a tempo you can headbang to without endangering yourself in a way that will result in your head distancing itself from your torso. This doesn’t mean they play slow, but it does mean that it never goes too fast.
review
Krematorium - Sinister Seduction
April 26, 2025
“Sinister Seduction” is not the heaviest Thrash Metal album you will ever encounter, but also not of one the lightest. Also, it might not be the most original album musically, the songs will still be able to enchant you in their own way. And that is what makes “Sinister Seduction” a pleasant album. Thank you KREMATORIUM.
review
Obsidian Fall - Elegy From a Dying World
April 26, 2025
It has to be said, for an album that OBSIDIAN FALL wrote, recorded, produced and released on their own accord, this isn’t bad at all. There is enough depth in the songs to keep it interesting.
review
Matraque – Nature Morte
April 25, 2025
Their brand of Doom is sparkled with psychedelica at times, and I believe I got a full vision of the album from five songs. The final result is that their sound is hopelessly dreadful, in every good sense of those words.
review
Lux Terminus – Cinder
April 24, 2025
“Cinder” is an ascent—a journey through cascading waves of emotion, carried aloft by impeccable musicianship and a sparkling sense of undying hope. There’s a resilience to this album—a refusal to descend into despair. Even in its most subdued passages, there is always movement, always breath, always a soft promise: that dawn will come, that beauty still lingers, that hope is an eternal flame. For me, it delivers one of the most uplifting and compositionally rich musical experiences of the year.
review
The Infernal Deceit - The True Harmful Black
April 24, 2025
Wow, what a lovely Black/Death Metal/Blackened Death Metal release!
review

review
Benthos – From Nothing
April 23, 2025
The band’s musicianship is off the charts. They end at a 10, and BETHOS takes it to an 11. They are nothing short of wizards navigating more meter shifts and transitions then you can count as well. As I mentioned above, the album isn’t as accessible until several listens, even to a seasoned Progressive music fan. They make you work for it, and as the saying goes, working hard makes it worth it in the end. For me, “From Nothing” is a musician’s Progressive Metal album, and one of the best musical feats of the year so far.
review
Malphas – Extinct
April 22, 2025
Overall, this was a solidly pleasing album that combined traditional Black Metal chaos with some thrashy riffs, and even some surprises. It is pure enough for those FMOBM fans, and also adventurous for those who seek a little more.
review
Phantom - Tyrants Of Wrath
April 22, 2025
According to the information that came with the music PHANTOM are a Speed/Thrash Metal band from Guadalajara, Mexico, formed in 2021 as a project just for fun.
review
Venator – Psychodrome
April 22, 2025
The songs themselves are varying from okay up and until rather good. You don’t expect to hear anything new or life changing, and you won’t, but you also won’t be disappointed by the quality level of the songs that VENATOR are ladling upon our Metal plate.
review
Rückwater - Bored Machine
April 22, 2025
RÜCKWATER are a stoner rock trio band from TAMPERE, FINLAND who have been together since […]
review
Frantic Amber – Death Becomes Her
April 22, 2025
“Death Becomes Her” continues FRANTIC AMBER's journey of darkness, where devastating guitar riffs and blast-beats go hand in hand with doom-laden, epic, and melancholic melodies, featuring even symphonic Death Metal elements
review
Deamonolith - The Monolithic Cult of Death
April 22, 2025
From the Depths of Poland comes an experimental group of Deathgrind that synergized elements of progressive and melodic death through complex time signatures to create a truly chaotic and brutal album.
review
Battle Beast – Circus of Doom, Live in Helsinki 2023
April 21, 2025
“Circus of Doom, Live in Helsinki 2023” is not only a great album to listen to but an incredible performance to watch. For new fans, a great introduction. For existing fans, a reminder of why you fell in love with them in the first place.
review
Marea – Adrift
April 21, 2025
In the end, three songs just weren’t enough to get to know the band as best as I had hoped. The three on the album are a study in contrasts, and I have the feeling there is a lot more about the band that remains a mystery. I will earmark them to a full-length soon to really delve into their music.
review
Kickin Valentina - Raw Traxs B Sides & Bootlegs
April 18, 2025
High octane unapologetic rock n' roll
review
Feversea – Man Under Erasure
April 18, 2025
This was a fascinating album with a lot of layers that the listener can borrow into, and it takes more than one listen to be able to uncover them all. Sometimes, its mysteries are easily solved, while other times, you have to work for them. Take a walk off the path that is familiar to you and delve into “Man Under Erasure.” Its dark mysteries lie within the songs.
review
Alutka – Merok
April 17, 2025
The album is a fragile bridge between what was and what now is. It’s a moment when time feels suspended, and the rhythms of ordinary life are intentionally disrupted to make space for sorrow, reflection, and memory. To mourn is not just to suffer; it's to affirm the significance of what’s been lost. The duration of mourning may vary, but its essence remains the same: it marks the soul's attempt to realign itself in a world permanently altered. When the mourning period ends, symbolically, it may represent a kind of return, to a life that now carries the imprint of grief, woven into the fabric of ongoing existence.
review
Dead Chasm – Spectral Tyranny
April 17, 2025
Overall, this was a decent album but it was hard to get a gauge based on just three songs. All of the elements one might expect from the genre are there, it’s just that the band didn’t do much stretching out from the norm. Purity is one thing, but pushing yourself is another. I would recommend that the band engage in a little experimentation next time to help put some distance between them and others.
review
Amimia – Eigengrau
April 16, 2025
The unnamed war between hope and despair is fought across every measure, every slow-burning crescendo, every fading chord — and despair wins. It is a slow, inevitable tightening of the chest, leaving the listener stranded in the rubble of what might’ve been. It is the slow collapse of the scaffolding you didn’t know was holding you up. It is the sound of hope staying just long enough to remind you of what you're about to lose. When the silence finally arrives, it doesn’t feel peaceful. It feels earned.
review
Telepathy – Transmissions
April 15, 2025
Instrumental albums are always harder for a reviewer to digest, because many people associate with lyrics and vocals. Many instrumental bands have to work harder to draw you into their world, but TELEPATHY don’t need to worry about that with “Transmissions.” As a listener, I feel transported on a journey, to somewhere far away, where much of what I am familiar with doesn’t exist. It’s exploration in the deepest sense of that word.
review
Serpent Rider – The Ichor of Chimaera
April 14, 2025
If NWOTHM is your thing, SERPENT RIDER’s debut album, The Ichor of Chimaera, may be worth a listen.
review
Hate – Bellum Regiis
April 14, 2025
For those fans who like their Black Metal tried, true, and tested, and don’t mind one aggressive song after another, this album is for you. I like it when they push past some of the narrow constraints and forge something of their own that is still heavily rooted in the genre. This was good, but given the band’s talent, could have been better.
review
Game Over – Face The End
April 14, 2025
“Face The End” is a versatile album influenced by many different styles. It contains a variety of tempi, guitar riffs, and drum patterns. It is not the fastest and most aggressive Thrash Metal album but it will find its well-deserved place in the heart of Thrash Metal fans

review
Messa – The Spin
April 10, 2025
To call “The Spin” a Doom Metal album is to oversimplify a work that claws at the edges of genre, digging deep into sonic spaces that feel far too expansive, too emotionally turbulent, too alive to be contained by any one label. What’s remarkable is how they use it as a foundation but build a whole landscape on top — one that includes gothic drama, ambient dread, and even moments of light. It’s a slow burn, but it’s also a journey across a fractured psyche. There’s narrative here, emotional range, and a deep sense of intention. It’s Doom Metal for listeners who want more than just a genre fix.
