Sculforge - Cosmic Crusade Chronicles
March 27, 2025
This new release is an excellent representation of the elements that make up the German power metal scene. With Powerful riffs, mind-blowing soloing, heavy double bass, and strong singing, SCULFORGE creates an album which reaches standards often overlooked in the Power Metal genre. I definitely recommend this album to both newer and…not so new listeners to metal, as it is very enjoyable and there is very little to dislike.
review
Nachtheem – Nacht, zij met ons...
March 26, 2025
Overall, the album felt a little disjointed to me. I really liked some of the atmospheric moments, and they can do a lot on an album. But, there just weren’t enough of them, and lots of Black Metal bands have a primal edge.
review
Spiritbox – Tsunami Sea
March 26, 2025
I used to be a Metalcore fan many years ago, but what bands are pushing today just doesn’t excite me. It is overly predictable and formulated. This album is anything but. It is modern, energetic, bold, daring, and so much fun to listen to. There’s a reason why this band is so well known and has so many accolades…they just make great music, and this album is another step in their evolution.
review
Tómarúm – Beyond Obsidian Euphoria
March 26, 2025
The band has a seemingly endless plethora of tools at their disposal on the album. As complex as the album is, and as utterly ambitious as their vision was, it also has a binding cohesion to it. On sheer musicianship alone, it is simply beyond the standard rating system. It is a rare feat to craft something so technically precise yet emotionally gripping, so brutally intense yet undeniably elegant. This is not just an album for those who crave speed, aggression, and virtuosity—it is an album for those who seek an experience, one that pushes and pulls, devastates and soothes. It’s a masterclass in precision, power, and poise.
review
Imminent Sonic Destruction – Floodgate
March 26, 2025
Progressive music demands that one never stands still, or re-creates a sound of the past, and that is the case here. It’s the extremes on the album that get me most…they are miles apart. The muddy, murky, grungy, and massive bottom end is as nasty as anything I have heard this year, but the bright vocal harmonies keep you from being swallowed by them. They seem to have a way with balancing these two things quite well on the album.

Noor - Mother’s Guilty Pleasure Part One
March 26, 2025
Canada for the win!
review
Mentalist - Earthbreaker
March 25, 2025
An above average Melodic Speed Metal album with an array of Thrash elements making this a highly enjoyable ride and continuing the legacy of Thomas Stauch In the vast history of European Power Metal while putting the emphasis on a very talented singer like Rob Lundgren to the forefront of the genre.
review
Teramaze – The Harmony Machine
March 25, 2025
TERAMAZE have done it again. One might think that due to their proliferation of albums recently they might get stale, but if you did, you couldn’t be more wrong. With “The Harmony Machine,” they have created a concise collection of songs here that feature their incredible musicianship and strong sense of catchy songwriting in nearly equal doses. What results are a Progressive album where big hooks reign supreme.
review
Catacombs – In the Depths of R’lyeh
March 25, 2025
This was a fantastic album, and within the genre of Doom, one of the more extreme examples of how deep into the abyss it can plunge. It reminded me of total darkness, or even the temperature where all life theoretically stops…otherwise known as zero degrees Kelvin. If you take a dive into this album, you won’t return to the world of the living.
review
Soliloquium – Famine
March 24, 2025
This was a fantastic album, that seemed to highlight what several genres can offer the listener…the fury of Death Metal, the melody of MeloDeath, impending feeling of Doom, and all done with a heavy emotional burden that you might not realize until several listens.
review
Mantric Momentum - Alienized
March 24, 2025
As always mixing the traditional old-school style, hard and fast songs that we are used to hearing with Power Metal mastery is money, well most of the times anyways. There are many awesome riffs, chords, hooks and solos will knock your socks off and get your head banging swiftly. Aside from the typical tropes of the genre, we also have a pretty interesting production. When Frontiers record usually back a band, you are sure to have an excellent sounding band and that’s a big plus for any fan out there.
review
Herman Rarebell and Friends - What About Love?
March 24, 2025
HERMAN RAREBELL AND FRIENDS is not a vanity project by all means, it’s more like an extended jam and musicians having fun in the studio, playing songs from the vast catalogue of the legendary THE SCORPIONS drummer with several covers from the 80's. This is the collection that seems like a gift from Herman to himself after his decades-long defining career.

review
Adamantis - Reforged
March 21, 2025
They are not sticking the tried-and-true formula of Power Metal, they go out of the beaten path to forge (pun intended) a hodgepodge of different elements. This is a much more mature approach to establish for such a young band, finally a band taking the reins of the American Power Metal into the future.

These guys are rewriting Brutal Death Metal and bringing it back to what it should be.
review
Embrium – Timekeeper
March 20, 2025
This album is not merely an exercise in contrasts, but a testament to their coexistence. It is the sound of light struggling against darkness, of sorrow dissolving into fury, of something fragile refusing to break. This is Black Metal at its most sublime—both a dream and a nightmare, both ruin and rapture.
review
Vintras – Timescarred
March 19, 2025
This was an excellent album, and its biggest strength was the level of intensity coupled with the strong senses of anger and desolation all mixed together. This is not for the faint at heart.
review
thisquietarmy – Langue Hybride
March 19, 2025
This album is a testament to the power of musical versatility, where genre lines blur, yet nothing ever feels out of place. It is an ambitious work that takes the listener on a journey through a staggering range of influences while maintaining a singular identity. In lesser hands, such an approach might result in chaos, but here, it’s a carefully orchestrated symphony of sound. Executed with vision and precision, it results in something truly personal and will challenge your sense of musical convention.

Purified in Blood - Primal Pulse Thunder
March 18, 2025
With the band being active since 2003 means that PURIFIED IN BLOOD has over 21 years of experience in making their brand of Melodic Death Metal mixed with Metalcore parts where needed. It makes for quite the explosive combination that does work.

review
SOM – Let The Light In
March 15, 2025
It’s the pacing of the album that is one of the keys to the band’s sound, and obviously, the combination of hardened elements with dreamy vocals. It has been done before, but not so profoundly. They do it in a way that makes you want it, need it, and even crave it. It’s like the cold stinging of heavy rain that is refreshing by the time the storm passes through, and it leaves you clean in its wake.

review
Mysteria Noctis – Vespro
March 14, 2025
Progressive Music can be, well, strange, and as a fan, you have to learn to take the good with the odd. This music falls under the latter category for me. Much of it is just too somber for me, and its accessibility is questionable as well. The band are fine musicians, I just have trouble coming up with an audience for this. But, I recommend you try the album for yourself.
