Descent - Far From Glory
April 2, 2024
Descent are back together releasing a face melter of an EP.
review
Discernment – To Leave
April 1, 2024
What is probably the best part of the album is how the band gathers various influences and elements and dissolves them together into their personal brand of music. In this regard, it’s fairly experimental, but the album doesn’t lose its overall potency.
review
Vanir - Epitome
March 31, 2024
Like I previously mentioned, this isn’t a bad album but it was, for me, a trudge to reach the end. By the time the first few songs were over, I struggled to keep my attention on it. As a melodic death album, it is serviceable but mileage will definitely vary.
review
Amaranthe – The Catalyst
March 31, 2024
“The Catalyst” is a trademark AMARANTHE album: powerful riffing, dynamic song textures driven by an unique triptych of vocalists, and catchy sing-along melodies, but overcrowd with too many electronic effects
review
Leaves’ Eyes – Myths Of Fate
March 31, 2024
“Myths Of Fate” is symphonic Metal excellence: a well-developed versatile concept ranging from crushing Death Metal inspired, via dynamic Folk oriented, towards quiet symphonic Metal tracks
review
Bodyfarm – Malicious Ecstasy
March 31, 2024
“Malicious Ecstasy” is a delivery of four devastating and blood-freezing Death Metal tracks with an additional live bonus
review
Bloody Falls – Amartia
March 30, 2024
For a band who largely relies on only one main ingredient for their brand of Melodic Death Metal, I did find the album nearly exactly as described: Old school meets contemporary. Although my head is still intact, it did take a bit of a beating.
review
Sol Negate – On the Verge of Dreaming Again
March 29, 2024
Overall, this album was very well done. The composing trio mixed many elements together into a well-seasoned stew that tastes fantastic…Death Metal, Progressive elements, and some symphonic elements as well. The result is an album that fans of any of these genres will find pleasing.
review
Ghost on Mars – Out of Time and Space
March 29, 2024
A lot of Progressive Metal is about how well the band navigates transitions, in my experience. Both the melodies and their musical prowess on the album is strong, although transitions seem to give them trouble from time to time. The album also has a bit too much of a steady emotional presence for me. These moments seem better when they are unleashed when the listener least expects them, for maximum effect. It’s a good album however, and very well produced. The band has all the pieces in place to be great.
review
Heavy Load - Riders Of The Ancient Storm
March 29, 2024
Heavy Load was formed by two brothers Ragne and Styrbjorn Wahlquist 50 years ago in […]
review
Amiensus – Reclamation: Pt. 1
March 28, 2024
This is an auditory journey like no other—a fusion of raging, intense black metal with glorious melodies that will ignite your soul. It's a sonic tempest, a whirlwind of ferocity and beauty that will leave you breathless and exhilarated. You'll be engulfed in the raw power of black metal, with blistering riffs and thunderous drums. Yet within, melodies soar and cascade, weaving a tapestry of beauty and emotion that transcends the brutality of the music. This is an early contender for “Album of the Year” for sure.
review
In Vain – Solemn
March 27, 2024
Prepare yourselves for an unparalleled musical odyssey that defies expectations and transcends boundaries. Enter a realm where ardent Death Metal collides with glorious melodies, creating a sonic landscape of unparalleled intensity and beauty. With each track, you'll be swept away by the ferocious power of Death Metal, fueled by relentless riffs and thunderous backbone. Yet, woven within this ferocity lies a thread of exquisite melody, guiding you through the chaos with haunting harmonies and soaring refrains. From the guttural growls that reverberate through your very core to the ethereal melodies that linger in the air long after the music fades, every moment of this album is a revelation.
review
Turbulence – Binary Dream
March 26, 2024
The thing that hits the listener square in the jaw is the talent that the band has from top to bottom. The album is packed full of heavy, Djent moments, as well as more tender and personal moments. The only possible critique I could offer the band is to let some of the melodies ride out a bit more, like the themes in the final song. They ride that song into the sunset. Still, this is an outstanding album from start to finish.
review
Elettra Storm – Powerlords
March 26, 2024
“Powerlords” is a modern Power Metal album with all the genre typical elements: pace, sharp riffing, double-bass drumming, and catchy melodies
review
Contaminated – Celebratory Beheading
March 26, 2024
“Celebratory Beheading” is a celebration of pummeling Death Metal with doomy twists and brutal elements
review
Merrimack – Of Grace and Gravity
March 25, 2024
Balancing Atmospheric Melodic with lo-fi brutality, “Of Grace and Gravity” is both haunting and bludgeoning.
review
Magnum – Here Comes The Rain
March 25, 2024
“Here Comes The Rain” feels like the last letter Tony wrote to us. Listen to it in good health and with fond memories. Rock is dead, long live rock.
review
Above Aurora - Myriad Woes
March 25, 2024
All in all, ABOVE AURORA’s “Myriad Woes,” isn’t a band album but it also doesn’t have what it takes to keep my interests.
review
Last in Time – Too Late
March 25, 2024
Overall, this was a solid album to listen to. The musicianship of the band is evident, and they create some memorable moments on the album.
review
Carnal Savagery - Into the Abysmal Void
March 25, 2024
When you see a band with name like CARNAL SAVAGERY and a cover artwork depicting […]
review
Nemus Anima - Hatred Embodiment
March 23, 2024
The album had a few moments of creativity, but overall, lacked in imagination and proper songwriting. I hate to put it this way, but many of the riffs were generic and the vocals were sung without passion.
review
Luciferian Rites – Oath of Midnight Ashes
March 21, 2024
Overall, besides being an album that just travels forward at the speed of light without relenting anything along the way, it was too one-dimensional and repetitive for me. It’s a shame too, because the band has talent, but it is buried.
review
Damnationis – The Fallen Princess
March 21, 2024
The symphonic elements didn’t take over the sound, but even if they did, we would be left with the music underneath, which is too simple and one-dimensional. Perhaps the oddest part of the band and album are that they a sextet from France, which is often known for its inventiveness in Metal.
review
Suffocation - Hymns from the Apocrypha
March 21, 2024
Another earth-crushing release of the pioneers of North American Technical/Brutal Death Metal!
review
Solitary Sabred - Temple of the Serpent
March 21, 2024
A fine mix between US Metal, Heavy Metal and Power Metal is what this quintet is offering you, and you better take it!
review
Fatal Maim - One Beyond the Grave
March 21, 2024
A very good release of this fine North American Heavy/Power/Thrash Metal rescued from the sands of time.
review
Domination Campaign - A Storm of Steel
March 21, 2024
A fine Australian Death Metal act on its second release. For extreme Metal addicted!
review
Herxheim – Contrapasso
March 21, 2024
Overall, the album is full of odd time structures, harrowing elements, and a black filth that will cover the listener from head to toe. Fans of Black and/or Death Metal will find plenty to like here, and sounds that are outside the box.
review
Khold – Du dømmes til Død
March 21, 2024
Overall, besides some solid bass work, this album failed to excite me, and Black Metal can be very exciting.
review
Vemod – The Deepening
March 18, 2024
“The Deepening” will leave hoarfrost on your turntable and summon all varieties of unholy entities . . . like existential musings and cosmic fear.
review
Have Mercy – Numb
March 18, 2024
With some work HAVE MERCY may have been able to condense “Numb” to a vaguely interesting EP.
review
Dymytry - Five Angry Man
March 18, 2024
Masked Metal from Czech Republic.
review
Morbid Saint – Swallowed By Hell
March 18, 2024
“Swallowed By Hell” is a classical Thrash Metal journey visiting the best elements of the genre: pace, aggression, flesh-ripping guitar riffing, excellent lead guitar solos, and relentless drumming
review
Omnivide – A Tale of Fire
March 16, 2024
The compositions on the album are as tenacious and imposing as the angles in the band’s logo. Each song packs a list of surprises that are like colorful candy being fed to you just when you are beginning to get hungry. Obviously talented, the quartet never lets their talent outshine their songwriting, although the flashes they do show will leave you speechless. How is this band not signed to a major record label?
review
Savage Blood - Wheel Of Time
March 16, 2024
SAVAGE BLOOD are a five piece power metal band from Germany and they have been […]
review
Martikor – Acedia
March 15, 2024
Acedia” means spiritual or mental sloth; apathy. That is exactly what you get out of the album. So much pain and torture can take a toll on someone. After walking around with it inside you for decades, you reach the point where you retreat inside yourself and become sloth, one of the seven deadly sins.
