Mother Crone - Inner Keep
February 4, 2026
There is no way in Heaven or Hell that I can’t NOT like what MOTHER CRONE is offering me on “Inner Keep”, as the songs are all of a very high standard, have all the right ingredients to sound amazing. Proper introductions, solid foundations, hard edged bodies and fitting endings.
review
Only Human – Planned Obsolescence
February 3, 2026
This was an outstanding Progressive album, and in many ways, it might point towards where the genre is headed for the future. The band has some serious chops, but they don’t overtake the sound, which is heavily focused on an emotional impact. It kept moving forward…branching out, exploring, uncovering rocks that used to be a permanent part of the scene, and each transition was completely smooth. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
review
Gluecifer - Same Drug New High
February 3, 2026
I don’t care what your status is emotionally, if “Same Drug New High” doesn’t make you feel better than I haven’t got a clue what will. I know that every time I listen to this GLUECIFER album I get a big smile on my face, start tapping my foot and nodding my head. Welcome back!!
review
Equilibrium – Equinox
February 3, 2026
When I saw this on the to do list of METAL TEMPLE, the combination of musical styles had me intrigued. That is why I requested this review as mine. I like some Metalcore, just as I love some Folk Metal, but they have to get it right to get me really going. The question that I will be asking myself here is whether EQULIBRIUM has the ability to mix them in such a way that it will blow me away.
review
Cremate - Ready To Fight
February 3, 2026
“Ready to Fight” is the rebirth of CREMATE, a band forged in the Athens underground of the early 90s. Built on the foundation of their cult demo “End of Time” (1993), this EP reimagines the raw Death/Thrash spirit of the past with a modern twist weaving in dark synths, samples, and atmospheric textures without losing any of the aggression.
review
Borrower – Killerdemons
February 3, 2026
BORROWER and their record companies Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records state on the EPK that they play Progressive Metal, and I’ll admit that this genre is part of their sound, but I need to add a bit of Alternative Rock, a bit of Sludge and a smidgeon of Industrial as well.
review
Nightmarer - Hell Interface
February 3, 2026
Dissonance... OooOoooOo
review
Goatsmoker – E.R.I.S.
February 2, 2026
GOATSMOKER is the perfect name for this band and “E.R.I.S.” is a perfect reliquary of their latest collection bitumen-soaked Doom.
review
Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows – Inexorable Opposites
February 2, 2026
The Jack Harlon saga continues with “Inexorable Opposites,” a little older and wiser and maybe more somber than previous iterations.
review
Altared States - Borrowed Time
February 2, 2026
ALTARED STATES was actually formed in 1989, only to be disbanded in 1990. The made their return in 2019, and have been around ever since. On “Borrowed Time” they give us the time to embrace 5 songs.
review
Imperial Domain – Portentum
February 2, 2026
I have to say that IMPERIAL DOMAIN has that undefinable trait which makes you like what they do. What is remarkable is that it doesn’t matter if what the band is good or not.
review
Post Luctum – Timor Lucis
February 2, 2026
This was an excellent album, and the way that composer Ian weaved the themes mentioned above into reach song was expertly done. He made the story come to life in your head, with constant images as the album moved. Like the great sea, the tale undulated, rising and swelling with the tide, and in the end, you have to ask yourself…can I live a life of isolation, or will it slowly drive me mad?

Ian Highhill – A Hymn Among Gravestones
January 31, 2026
What I can tell you that in the forty minutes that you get to enjoy “A Hymn Among Gravestones” there is no escaping the fact that IAN HIGHHILL is capable or writing good songs that have a pull, that will draw you in and that will pique your interest from the first second until the last.
review
Avalanche – Armed To The Teeth
January 31, 2026
How Australian do you want to sound? Well, in the case of AVALANCHE very much so. The music they play can easily be categorised as Speedrock versions of what AC/DC and ROSE TATTOO have stood for all these years.
review
Tailgunner – Midnight Blitz
January 31, 2026
On 6 February 2026 the second piece of TAILGUNNER slab will hit the air and the shops. “Midnight Blitz” is brought to us by Napalm Records, and the fact that we as reviewers were only allowed to listen and review through a streaming link says enough about how important this band has become.
review
MØL – DREAMCRUSH
January 30, 2026
This is an album where Blackgaze breathes and burns. The genre has always lived in contradiction, but what truly sets the band apart is their heightened sense of melody. They steer the songs, and carve pathways through the distortion. They ache…they yearn, and they linger long after the track has collapsed. They prove that heaviness doesn’t have to sacrifice melody, and that melody doesn’t weaken intensity. Instead, the two feed each other, creating something vast, immersive, and deeply human.
review
Vesseles – Home
January 29, 2026
This was an excellent album. When you talk about Black Metal, particularly the Symphonic variety, it can be a very cinematic listening experience. This album was for sure. There was also some transference involved as I was further immersed in the album, as if I could see the world through Valira’s eyes. The sights were no horrid, they were burned into my memory, but like witnessing a train derailment, you just can’t look away. With better production, however, this could have been outstanding
review
Dimholt – MetaForm
January 29, 2026
This was an excellent album. Although it’s steeped in the early traditions of the genre, there was just enough risk taking to please listeners with need for a wider range of sound, while not alienating the average fan of Black Metal. Their musicianship is strong, they followed their vision, and the songs were powerfully aggressive.
review
Omnifear - Kingdom
January 29, 2026
Overproduction is a myth, it's not misogynistic, and it's not stale. Deathcore is great when done right - this was done right
review
I Hear Sirens – Stella Mori
January 28, 2026
One of the best features of the album is how the band plunges you head first into deep, murky waters, to let you explore the darker side of things, only to bring you back by the end. It’s quite an emotional rollercoaster of sound, as only Post Rock instrumentals can levy.
review
Oculi Melancholiarum – Antheraea
January 28, 2026
The album has a constant push and pull that is like a ride on an old wooden rollercoaster. You are jarred back and forth at every turn, yet the experience is enjoyable and a total adrenaline rush. She has claws and fans, which can cut deep, but she also radiates warmth, simplicity, and acceptance. When you are in her presence, you can’t help but feel content.
review
Savage Sword - Demo 2026
January 27, 2026

Meteora - Dissonance
January 26, 2026
“Dissonance” is a satisfying final installment to the “Darkest Light” trilogy.
review
Kaunis Kuolematon – Kun Valo Minussa Kuoli
January 26, 2026
I have to believe KAUNIS KUOLEMATON is at the forefront of the Finnish metal scene, a position they certainly deserve as evidenced by “Kun Valo Minussa Kuoli.”
review
Moros – Cemetery Hallucinations
January 25, 2026
Overall, this was a solid album. The band’s focus on the deep end of their sound keeps the riffs sounding massive, and towering. Add in the bass, which thickens it up further, and the vocals, which are raging and tortured, and you have a recipe for a good listening experience.
review
Usurper - Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development (and all demos)
January 25, 2026
I actually have the original CD of the USURPER album “Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development” in my possession. What we have here is the Dutch Thrash Metal version of USURPER, a band that was very active in the second half of the eighties up and until the early nineties.
