Abraham – IDSUNGWÜSSÄ
October 17, 2025
The album crawls from the speakers like a living wound…dark, and filthy. Listening feels less like experiencing music and more like enduring an ordeal…a descent into a pit where pain and madness blur together. It seems chaotic, but it’s a deliberate architecture of horror that transforms suffering into expression. This is not music for comfort or catharsis. It’s music that drags you through filth to remind you what darkness truly feels like, a portrait of anguish painted in noise and decay.
review
Cepheidae Variable – Primordial Reverie
October 17, 2025
This was a solid album to listen to. Without vocals, the artist has to work harder to convey his feelings and emotions in his music, and Ryan did that well. Many of the melodies you can hum or sing along with, and that’s a testament to the instrumental album.
review
Feather Mountain – A Liminal Step
October 16, 2025
This was an excellent album, with a varied approach to each song. The band are consummate musicians, and they hit every nuance and nook and cranny in the music with impeccable timing, The music sometimes took unexpected turns at times, but always kept me engaged. I can’t help think more about how they described the album…”a magical antidote in a world full of chaos,” because that’s how the sound came across for me.
review
Armoured Knight - The Quest For The Sacred Melody
October 16, 2025
“The Quest For The Sacred Melody” has speed and momentum, as the songs are rather good. Yes, this has all been done before, but somehow the musicality of the tunes does give you that edge that makes you listen just that little sharper, that piques your interest whereas others just don’t.
review
Pandemic Outbreak - Torment Beyond Comprehension
October 15, 2025
There can be no bones about that what PANDEMIC OUTBREAK has produced on “Torment Beyond Comprehension” is above reproach. If you don’t get what I’m saying, simply put I can say that this is bloody good indeed!
review
Percussor - Remnants Of Horror: The Final Cut
October 15, 2025
PERCUSSOR plays fast most of the time. And that all sounds fine.
review
Sadistic Force - Morbid Odyssey
October 15, 2025
The name of the band, SADISTIC FORCE, has been chosen wisely, as this is one of the finest forms of torture that you will ever come across within the Metal genres. “Morbid Odyssey” is an amalgamation of five forms of torment that will have you trying to find a way to escape, only to experience the feeling of emptiness when it all ends.
review
Wehmut – III: Frühling
October 15, 2025
This album takes the listener on a journey that is sometimes rocky, and other times calm, and mirrors the seasons of your lives. Torture, anguish, and feeling like you want to jump out of your own skin are common, yet through it all, a string of hope remains threaded into the album. It’s moving, cathartic, and satisfying in the end.
review
Sublime Eyes – IV: The Serpent’s Coil
October 14, 2025
This album was INTENSE. In the annals of the genre, the band chose to take the more pure road of mostly aggressive Death Metal where the guitar harmonies provide the melody, not clean vocals nor keyboards or the like. This is an uncompromising approach to the genre, by a clearly uncompromising band, ready to tackle new territory.
review
Wings of Steel - Winds of Time
October 14, 2025
The term “Let the music do the talking” has never been more apropos than for WINGS OF STEEL and the release of their highly anticipated new album “Winds of Time”, where nostalgic old school metal meets innovative and vibrant new overtones to create a musical euphoria.

review
Agenbite Misery – Remorse of Conscience
October 13, 2025
An outstanding artifact of Blackened Experimental metal. Highly recommended to that not-so-rare intersection of literature geeks and metalheads.
review
High on Wheels – The Monkey
October 13, 2025
This was a fantastic album. It didn’t break any barriers or tread new ground necessarily, but the sound was genuine, honest, and punishing. Insert any euphemism you want…a swift kick to the teeth…a gritty punch in the balls…whatever it was, it will wake you up in the morning.
review
Undersave – Merged In Abstract Perdition
October 13, 2025
The sound of “Merged In Abstract Perdition” is technical with progressive elements and plenty of twists and turns in tempo and rhythm, all based on a grim melodic framework
review
Enragement – Extinguish All Existence
October 13, 2025
“Extinguish All Existence” is brutal Death Metal at high quality, driven by punishing guitar riffs, blast-beat attacks, and growling vocals coming straight from the abyss
review
Orm – Guld
October 12, 2025
This was a fascinating slab of Black Metal in a few different ways. First, it often took unexpected turns, keeping the listener on their toes. Second, it brought a side of melody with it that was somber at times and oddly warm at others. Finally, there were progressive elements afoot, both in the music, and the meter. Who said Black Metal can’t be creative?
review
Ildaruni – Divinum Sanguinem
October 11, 2025
I was most impressed by the high level of musicianship the band has, in addition to their strong sense of songwriting. Black Metal doesn’t need to remain in the shadows, with bad production and an overly thickened sound, and ILDARUNI prove this point on “Divinum Sanguinem.”
review
Harvested - Dysthymia
October 10, 2025
Dysthymia is a declaration of war from the Canadian underground. This is death metal that bleeds, breathes, and still bites.

review
Pale Horse Ritual – Diabolic Formation
October 8, 2025
If you’re going to model your sound around the Godfathers of Metal, BLACK SABBATH, that’s a good choice. Unfortunately, that sound was popular 55 years ago. Although some bands are indeed timeless, I would have liked to have heard more of this band’s individual personality in their music. The world just doesn’t need another BLACK SABBATH clone.
review
Zombie Eater – Faces
October 7, 2025
This was a delightfully gooey album that had a thick, dark groove for months…even years. The riffs were covered in soot, and you come out soiled and defiled in the end, but the smile on your face will last a lifetime.
review
Ofermod – Draksophia
October 7, 2025
Although the band was trying to present another filthy album, it’s a bit on the safe side for me. Sure, some long term fans won’t like a 180, but there are plenty of ways to inject some diversity into the album, even capitalize on some of the more modern elements of Black Metal today. It was good, don’t get me wrong, just a bit too safe for me.
review
Distorta – Deadman
October 7, 2025
DISTORTA is able to demonstrate that you can make an Extreme form of Metal without only being angry, disillusioned, desperate or desolate during that whole process. Nope, “Deadman” is proof that DISTORTA makes the sort of Extreme Metal that can also be lots of fun to make for a band.
review
Omicidio - Premature Exequie (Reissue)
October 7, 2025
You can hear that the band didn’t have the funds to give their recordings a full-on production sound. Would that have mattered?
review
Relicon - Ephemeral Triumphs
October 7, 2025
It took me some time, but I have to admit that I warmed up to the music on “Ephemeral Triumphs”. It’s not bad at all and if you are one of those who likes their music a bit alternative, you really should check out what RELICON is all about.

"Doom isn’t just a genre, it’s an approach to music." – Stefano Fiorelli, WARCOE
October 7, 2025
WARCOE hails from Pesaro, Italy. Formed in 2021, following the year of our plague, the Doom trio has been blazing a trail through the Italian Doom scene with one monumental album after the other. On September 26, 2025 they released their third full-length album, “Upon Tall Thrones,” which not only weighed in at 8/10 on the Metal Temple scales but hit #1 on Doom Charts for September 2025. This month Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, was able to catch up with Stefano Fiorelli (guitars, vocals) to discuss the origin story of WARCOE, details of their latest album, and even speculate on the impacts of AI and streaming platforms.
review
Tanvald – Nemofilista
October 6, 2025
Much of the album is devoted to the building of a towering atmosphere, and the band does that quite well. They talk about themes of forgotten sorrow, and cold landscapes, and that is exactly what I hear. It’s like a raging blizzard in middle of the arctic circle that lets up at the end just enough for you to see beams of sunlight.
review
Miasmata – Subterrania
October 5, 2025
I need to remind the listeners that this band is only one person, so right off, you have to give him props for that. That said, I found the music to be fairly solid. His command of several genres is noteworthy, although some of the songs bleed together a bit. Any fan of Extreme music should appreciate this album.

review
Jester Majesty - Infinite Measure, Finite Existence
October 2, 2025
JESTER MAJESTY is showing us as listeners that they are capable of making music that is not standard, and certainly not boring.
review
Nihili Locus – Semper
October 2, 2025
Overall, this was a despondent listening experience that had just enough anger to take the listener through a couple of different emotions. The raging elements were intense, in a way that makes them real. The somber tones served as a reminder that much of life is not one-sided, rather a bevy of experiences that we will all go through. You gotta hang on for the ride, no matter how dark it gets…and the album is that darkness.
review
God’s Funeral – El despertar dels morts
October 1, 2025
Overall, this was a solid album in the steep traditions of Doom/Death Metal. It wasn’t anything overly original, but you get what you would expect here, and that is fine. The slow pace and near-death vocals kick you when you are down, and stomp on your head to make sure it stays there.
review
Plague Curse – Verminous Contempt
October 1, 2025
This was a thoroughly evil album that championed the best of what Death and Black Metal can offer to fans. The songs were hasty, plowed through all barriers, and the vocals were filthy and disgusting…everything a good blackened death metal album should be.
review
Defacement – Doomed
September 30, 2025
I found the album nearly exactly as advertised…psychological collapse, disillusionment, and torment, and then some. The fleeting moments of melody might serve as that last fray of sanity to keep you from completely going under, but this was an extremely dark and dreadful affair.
review
Cancerbero - Sempiternal
September 30, 2025
Cancerbero’s Sempiternal Decay is not just another death metal album it’s a ritual carved in riffs, sweat, and fire.
