The End Machine - The Quantum Phase
July 14, 2024
The End Machine “The Quantum Phase” is album number three is follow up to album […]
review
Seven Spires – A Fortress Called Home
July 13, 2024
The best part of the album is the incredible vocal performance of Adrienne Cowan, and the band’s musicianship in general. The production is also stellar, and everything is in its proper place. 12 songs was just a bit too many for me, and a couple of them weren’t as memorable as some of the others, but bravo, this is a very well put together album that speaks of triumph.
review
Mother of Millions – Magna Mater
July 13, 2024
More Progressive Metal fans should be aware of this band, and this album especially, because as good as their previous albums were, this one tops them all. The album features illustrious melodies and a stand out vocal performance that is backed with a bottom end that is substantially intense, and what results is a balance that just hasn’t been reached this year.
review
LizZard – Mesh
July 12, 2024
Bands like LizZard are out there, but it takes a whole lot more digging to find them. I am very happy this passed over my hands. At its core, it’s a simple album, with many pleasing melodies, but it has so much thought behind the compositions. Perhaps most convincingly, I can’t easily put into words the way it made me feel, but the point is that it did.
review
We Broke the Weather – Restart Game
July 11, 2024
My summary of the album is that it is highly personal in nature. Each person who listens to it intently might come away with an entirely different message. I found the sound fascinating, although strange, and I admire their convictions and their talent.
review
Witch Vomit - Funeral Sanctum
July 11, 2024
A very good Old School Death Metal release.
review
Hextar - Doomsayer
July 11, 2024
A very good name on Italian Power/Heavy Metal scene.
review
Terminal Nation - Echoes of the Devil’s Den
July 11, 2024
A fine album that points a way to remodel Old School Death Metal.
review
Beaten to Death - Sunrise Over Rigor Mortis
July 11, 2024
Wowo, what great Prog Grindcore is presented on this release!
review
Hemotoxin – When Time Becomes Loss
July 11, 2024
A few things are clear for me after listening to this album. First, the band goes to 11 out of the gate and stays there throughout, uncompromisingly. Second, they clearly have talent, as evidenced by the super-tight musical arrangements. Finally, it’s an ode to some of the forefather of Metal with some modern elements.
review
Evoked – Immoral Arts
July 11, 2024
I am unreasonably mad.
review
Knights Of The Realm – Darker Than Leather
July 10, 2024
With the reemergence of old school and classic hard rock and heavy metal, it’s easy for bands to take the easy road and mimic what worked in the 80’s, so every time I review an album from a band that promises to “deliver new and fresh metal” I am a little skeptical. KNIGHTS OF THE REALM has made that claim with their latest release “Darker than Leather”, so let’s see if they can make me a believer.
review
Demon – Invincible
July 10, 2024
When a band has been around for forty-five years you just know they are doing something right as in the case of DEMON and the latest release “Invincible” as they set out to prove that there’s a reason for their longevity in this ever-changing musical landscape.
review
Ascalapha – Somber Vampyric Night
July 8, 2024
In this case, the themes of the album work very well with the music. I can picture these creatures roaming around at night, despondent, hateful, and they have lost control of their bearings. Ultimately, they are driven to kill, but it doesn’t lessen any of the pain like they imagined.
review
Ufomammut – Hidden
July 8, 2024
If you enjoyed the direction the UFOMAMMUT embarked on with their 2022 “Fenice,” you’ll enjoy “Hidden.” It’s just a bit further on in the journey, a little deeper, a little darker.
review
Tzompantli – Beating the Drums of Ancestral Force
July 8, 2024
Overall, I found the album lacking in a few categories, most notably, melody, which they advertised as part of the intro. Too many of the songs had the exact same vibe for me.
review
Futuro Primitivo - Declive
July 8, 2024
Clearly, a lot of love went into this album. While out of my wheelhouse, I did enjoy my time with “Declive” and would suggest any fan of thrash, extreme metal, or hardcore give it a shot; I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
review
Inter Arma - New Heaven
July 8, 2024
INTER ARMA is an extreme metal band from Richmond, Virginia who formed in 2006. “New […]
review
Hipoxia - Fragmented Revelations
July 8, 2024
Ultimately,
HIPOXIA
’s “
Fragmented Revelations
,” is an album for doom lovers but it also stretches outside the confines of the genre enough to be enjoyed from many different angles and provide a lot of reasons to return to it multiple times. It doesn't feel like a random collection of songs but instead a large, cohesive, sprawling, piece of music.
review
Occulta Veritas – Irreducible Fear of the Sublime
July 7, 2024
The genius of the band and specialness of the album is hard to describe, although the biography in the introduction covers part of it. It does indeed feel like it is sent to probe your subconscious mind, and what comes back you don’t want to see or hear. Still, it was a valuable exercise, that shows the many dark layers of human existence.
review
The Monolith Deathcult- The Demon Who Makes Trophies of Men
July 7, 2024
THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT has an Industrial influenced symphonic death metal sound that pushes the boundaries of Death Metal by creating unique dynamic soundscapes, often with comedic undertones.
review
Apparition – Disgraced Emanations from a Tranquil State
July 7, 2024
This isn’t just death metal; there’s real talent here.
review
Tombstoner - Rot Stink Rip
July 4, 2024
This is a very good Old School Death Metal release.
review
Leach - New Model of Disbelief
July 4, 2024
The classic outfit of Swedish Melodic Death Metal can be found on this album, but with modern improvements.
review
The Last of Lucy - Godform
July 4, 2024
With THE LAST OF LUCY being a concoction of the technical complexities of math metal undertones and paired with the sporadic overtones of aggressive grindcore molded together beautifully to form this pod of dynamic technical death metal. With overtures of progressive chord progressions and smooth jazz insurgence that push the boundaries of their genre, “Godform” is an album you need to listen to.
review
Battlecreek – Maze Of The Mind
July 3, 2024
“Maze Of The Mind” has a good variety of songs ranging from fast traditional Thrash Metal to mid-tempo tracks with different vibes
review
Degraved – Whispered Morbidity & Exhumed Remnants
July 3, 2024
“Whispered Morbidity & Exhumed Remnants” is very raw and simple Death Metal, based on a bone-chilling melodic framework
review
Axamenta – Spires
July 3, 2024
I am very glad that this band reformed and created this alum, because it’s a clear winner. Ardent enough for staunch Metalheads, but also delicate enough for those of us who welcome and appreciate melody, the album really has the best of both worlds.
review
Purulency - Transcendent Unveiling of Dimensions
July 3, 2024
When the D&D Kids Start a Band
review
Wormwood – The Star
July 1, 2024
The entire album is just stunning. Track to track, minute by minute. “The Star” by WORMWOOD is one of my favorite albums of the year thus far. Highly recommended.
review
Flamekeeper – Flamekeeper
July 1, 2024
Even though this was touted as Black Metal album and it is on a Black Metal label, consider that a very loose definition. It has a lot of other elements in it, and Marco is not afraid to let listeners know his brand of music.
review
Temple of the Beast - Geminian Arcana
July 1, 2024
Mysticism and malignance abound throughout these five unnerving tracks. Join me as I dive into the depths of Blackthorn’s primitive ritual.
review
Trails of Anguish – Scathed Gaping Misery
June 30, 2024

review
Opium Death - Genocidal Nemesis
June 30, 2024
Exlpoding out of Chicagoland with old school death metal and their debut album Genocidal Nemesis
review
SRD – Vragvmesiton
June 28, 2024
The structure and weight of the album might be its greatest strength, along with the vocals. But, it’s the confidence of the band that strikes me most. They create a torturous landscape that you don’t even want to think about, much less set foot in. The entire time you are listening, however, it hypnotizes you into taking one step closer, and then another, until you are there, swallowed by flames.
review
Kingcrow – Hopium
June 28, 2024
The album just failed to excite me, plain and simple. Every song was very melancholy, and that stood out even over some Progressive elements. For me, it was the vocal style that kept things from really progressing. Diego has a tender voice with great control, but nearly every song was sung in the same range. It might have been the band’s failure to convince me that led to my perceived downfall.
