review

A fine Pagan Black Metal release.

review
Druma – Sores of our Time
April 9, 2025
Not being familiar with the band, the refinement of the album is indeed evident. They settled on a depressive sound and slowly worked its way down your throat until you swallowed it unwillingly. The album is being dark, beyond despondence, and beyond hopelessness…leaving the listener to wonder what things come after these. I don’t want to find that out.
review
Nephylim - Circuition
April 8, 2025
During the fast moving 38 minutes that “Circuition” is emitting its impressive sounds I am very much in a dream state. It didn’t look like I would be when I started listening, but with every time the record has been coming through my speakers, I have had to admit that it is even better than the last time I listened.
review
Oracle Hands – Dirge for the Doomed
April 8, 2025
“Dirge for the Damned” is a harrowing journey through raging desolation, a phrase that perfectly encapsulates the storm of emotion and sonic violence unleashed across its runtime. Beneath the violent surface, there’s a clear emotional arc—a story of isolation, reckoning, and the flicker of something like resilience. The juxtaposition of harshness and occasional moments of clarity mirrors the human experience of loss and rage: unpredictable, messy, but undeniably powerful.
review
Desert Smoke – Desert Smoke
April 7, 2025
DESERT SMOKE, “Desert Smoke,” with or without the apostrophe, scores high on the Metal Temple scales. Well worth the time to check out.
review
Elusive God - Ambis
April 7, 2025
“Ambis” is a solid return for the ELUSIVE GOD who, with three original albums plus a live recording in seven years aren’t exactly elusive. Still, I could use more ELUSIVE GOD in my life.
review
Empyrean Sanctum – Detachment from Reality
April 7, 2025
The first thing I want to highlight about the album is the band’s outstanding musicianship. Indeed, they are masters at their instruments, and the vocalist has an exceptional range. The second thing that caught me are the strong emotional hooks, and it was just so much fun to listen to. This was a statement type of album that was emotionally power from start to finish.
review
HoneyBombs - There Is An Elephant In The Room
April 7, 2025
Too much sauce in the soup.
review
Beware of Gods – Upon Whom the Last Light Descends II: Amnesia Island
April 6, 2025
This was a very personal album that one could label as strange, and unsettling at times. It is not here to make you comfortable…it is here to shake things up, and the unusual nature of the album is something that every Metalhead should experience.
review
Noumenia – Echoes
April 5, 2025
Although they rely a bit too much on the open E chord as the base of a lot of songs, the haunting electronic elements are a nice addition, and their musicianship is fantastic. There are modern elements to their sound (not Nu Metal per se), as well as Progressive elements, and they do a nice job of intermixing genres together in a final product that is blended well.
review
Distant Dominion - Ripping Through Time
April 4, 2025
DISTANT DOMINION’s
2024 album
Ripping Through Time
is a formidable journey through the realms of Black Thrash Metal, marked by its unyielding aggression, intricate craftsmanship, and a refined sense of epic narrative. The record unfolds over five meticulously constructed tracks, each one a proof of the band’s commitment to musical precision and emotional intensity.
review
Sonus Mortis – Synapse The Hivemind
April 4, 2025
Both the subject matter and the matching music brings up existential ponderings for me. As a species, why can’t we see our impending demise? Is it because of the very slow process of climate change? Is it because no one has asked why when it comes to technological advances? Is it because of the phenomenon called “learned helplessness.” In my opinion, it is all three forces bearing down on us at the same time, and most of us are too busy to even notice. The punishing music carries the burden of the impending demise on its shoulders throughout the album, and the message is received loud and clear.
review
Kryptograf – Krypntonomicon
April 4, 2025
Overall, although the band isn’t forging any new paths forward, the music is genuine, honest, and well performed.
review
Unbounded Terror - Something is Rotten in Humanity
April 3, 2025
These Spanish veterans on Death Metal show that the'yre able to conquest many new fans with this release!
review
Hersir - Hateful Draugar from the Underground
April 3, 2025
A fine between Black Metal and Pagan Black Metal is found on this release.
review
Smoke Mountain – The Rider
April 3, 2025
This was an excellent Doom album. The riffs are towering, massive, and powerful, the vocals are solemn, sultry, and foreboding, and the drum and bass sections provide a commanding footprint that they band stands on confidentially.
review
Imperial Triumphant – Goldstar
April 2, 2025
Some Black Metal albums aim for raw aggression, while others lean into cold atmospheres. This one thrives in the space between—a meticulously crafted storm of dissonance and depth. Beneath the blast beats and tortured screams, there is a profound sadness, a suffocating despair that lingers in the background like an ever-present shadow. The melodies, when they emerge from the maelstrom, are haunting—not as relief, but as an accentuation of the darkness. It’s a a journey through the depths of controlled chaos, where the void is vast but never aimless.
review
Whiskey Ritual – Still Scum
April 1, 2025
This type of free-flowing, Fuck You attitude is what is largely missing in the music scene today, and reminds me of the great political and religious non-conformists DEAD KENNEDYS did back in the day. They pull no punches, and hold nothing back. Although the album is simple from a composer’s standpoint, music doesn’t have to be overly complicated for you to enjoy it.
review
Dimman – Consciousness
April 1, 2025
Melodic Death Metal is a genre that many Metalheads are overly familiar with. In my experience, some bands take the road more travelled by excluding things like clean vocals and keyboards to keep it pure. But such an approach makes the album privy to their peer group, who have done the same. That is the case here. It’s not a good album, and they have talent, I would just stretch out some more.
review
Marble Ghosts - The Greatest Divide
March 31, 2025
So we have a death metal drummer, an old-school metal bassist, a singer heavily influenced by 90s grunge, and a metalcore guitar player. In all walks of life and all matter of genres, they are able to create a homogenous sound while mixing everything and anything from their previous influences as musicians and music fans. An intense album you can listen to over and over and still find cathartic release of angst, anger and outreach. This is a solid brand of high-octane alternative rock mixed with an old school metal vibe.
review
Ominous Ruin – Requiem
March 31, 2025
The frigid and sterile nature of the music leaves many emotions off the table, and allows the ones they do use to blast through with the force of a hurricane. As I mentioned, their musicianship is off the charts, and their technical prowess is hard to match. If you want a straight up intense, brutal, and punishing listening experience, and one that leaves you disoriented and delirious, look no further.
review
Fumes - Skeletal Wings Threshold
March 31, 2025

review

review
Avenger Of Blood – Revenge Is My Name
March 31, 2025
Revenge Is My Name” contains all elements, that makes Thrash Metal so popular like pace, aggression, tight guitar riffing, and melodic guitar solos
review
Maison Dieu - Herbacea
March 30, 2025
Count me as a sucker for Italian female vocals and Stoner Psych trios. "Herbecae" is a stunning debut. Can’t wait to see what’s next from MAISON DIEU.
review
King Garcia – Hamelin
March 30, 2025
Let’s start with the positive, and that is both the strong musicianship of the band as well as their varied song structures. Without vocals, it can be difficult to get across a sense of cohesion and understanding from the music, but they do. That being said, some of the sounds were just a bit too far out of the box for me in terms of what I think of when I think of Metal music.

review
Sammale – Ikiharmaja
March 27, 2025
This was a solid album, and you have to consider the consistent songwriting efforts out of one composer. The songs had an aggressive bite, but at the same time, were emotional as well. This is definitely something that fans of Black and Doom Metal will enjoy.
review
On My Command - Conquer
March 27, 2025
The band is good, but must sharp its efforts.
review
Dreaming Death - Sinister Minister
March 27, 2025

review
Carmeria - Trinity: Volume I
March 27, 2025
With a silky Symphonic Metal outfit, this band created a very good EP (that could be a full-length).
