Biolence - Violent Obliteration
August 9, 2025
Everything that BIOLENCE does on “Violent Obliteration”. has a nice ring to it, the songs are well versed in changing tempo and intensity, and not once during the whole listening experience do feel that they are out of tune or out of sync.
review
Finnr’s Cane – Finnr’s Cane
August 6, 2025
This was a dreadfully delightful album to listen to. It reminded me of a cold winter’s day that you have to traverse. Even when you are bundled up, the bite of the wind and frigid air don’t let up until you are safely at home again. In a strange way, its depressive tones were also somewhat comforting. Call that the power of music.

Green Carnation – A Dark Poem Part I: The Shores of Melancholia
July 22, 2025
This album breathes, pauses, and lingers, inviting the listener into a quieter space where every note feels purposeful and every silence says just as much as the sound. It is carefully crafted, emotionally resonant experience that speaks softly, but hits with stunning force. The band doesn’t try to impress with scale; they open themselves to being felt. And in doing so, they create something that doesn’t just sit in the background, but gets under your skin in the quietest, most honest way.
review
Gods of Tomorrow - Gods Of Tomorrow
July 22, 2025
What does help when you play Melodic Metal is having a good singer, and in that respect GODS OF TOMORROW doesn’t need to think back or reconsider, as Felipe Del Valle has a very pleasant voice that is capable of enhancing just those emotions that the music is asking for.
review
Eden Circus – Irrlicht
July 22, 2025
If one thing is clear for ma as the reviewer, it is that EDEN CIRCUS has managed to put ten very impressive songs on “Irrlicht”.
review
Øltreluce – lövërliminal
July 18, 2025
The melodies on the album are glorious in their defiance. Like streaks of golden light cutting through storm clouds, they emerge through tremolo lines, layered harmonies, and swelling, mournful leads. In many moments, it feels less like the darkness is being accompanied by beauty, and more like it’s being challenged by it. Devastating in its weight, but luminous in its execution, it pulls you into shadow, only to show you how much light still lives there. It’s a breathtaking storm where melody triumphs not by avoiding the darkness, but by illuminating it.
review
Horror Of Horrors - Sounds Of Eerie (Reissue)
July 16, 2025
The Old School Death Metal that is being played by HORROR OF HORRORS on "Sounds Of Eerie" is straight forward no-nonsense music without strange breaks, difficult rhythms or weird sounds.
review
Horror Of Horrors - Rust, Flesh and Dust (Reissue)
July 16, 2025
“Rust, Flesh and Dust” was not expected at all in 2017, as HORROR OF HORRORS weren’t active at that time. But after listening to this album, I must admit that I am glad that they did release this one, and that I am equally happy with VIC Records for giving this one a second chance.
review
Goblinsmoker – The King’s Eternal Throne
July 15, 2025
Overall, you gotta love a band who presents their music in a straightforward fashion, and without the hint of pretention, because you know what you are going to get. That is the case here with “The King’s Eternal Throne.”
review
Dos – Det eviga och den döde
July 9, 2025
Some people talk about a concept called “the burning cold,” which is a poetic or metaphorical phrase that describes an intense, paradoxical sensation—cold so extreme that it feels like burning. It's often used to capture the sharp, biting nature of freezing temperatures, where the skin can sting or ache, much like it does when exposed to heat. That sums up the sound on the album perfectly for me.

White Widdow - White Widdow (Reissue)
July 1, 2025
As for “White Widdow” (2010), I can tell you that it sounds rather good from start to finish. The musicians in the band are very capable, know where to play but also when to either tone it down or even keep quiet.
review
Erebe – Duolithe
June 29, 2025
When I imagine the future of Metal, sure, the classical styles will always be there. But this sound is what will occupy the fringes. It’s a kaleidoscopic journey through sound, where boundaries dissolve and styles bleed into one another with both chaos and purpose. “Doulithe” is an album for those who crave surprise, who find joy in dissonance and beauty in contradiction. It is a triumph of experimentation—a record that doesn’t ask for your understanding, only your surrender.
review
Genus Ordinis Dei - Eternal Live
June 25, 2025
“Eternal Live” has been recorded with all the mistakes intact, making it a very true live record. The sound is good and the audience hasn’t been mixed to the forefront. But it is honest and as they were a supporting act on the night of recording, it is what it is. I commend GENUS ORDINIS DEI for being so brave as to leave it all as it is.
review
Autumn Lies Buried – Mob Mentality
June 24, 2025
I identify strongly with their message, and it’s nice to see that there are fellow people out there who want to burn down the establishment. The music was strong as well, but just some pinches of more variation would have made the album stronger.

review
Lights of Vimana – Neopolis
June 9, 2025
There are albums that reflect sadness, and then there is “Neopolis,” that do not reflect despair so much as become it, filling the room like a choking fog, inhaling any hope before it can take root. This is not music crafted for catharsis. It is the sound of being pinned beneath the weight of permanence—a slow, unrelenting erosion of emotional ground. You don’t emerge from this album—you fade into it. It leaves you blinking at silence, wondering if you imagined the light at all. It’s not that “Neopolis” offers no hope; it’s that it reminds you how easily hope is consumed—how quickly beauty can be buried beneath weight and wire.

review
Helllight – We, The Dead
June 4, 2025
This was a fantastic album that made you feel many things as a listener…sad, hopeless, grieving…even a deep rage and anger at times as to the unfairness of life. It begs the question for me that if there is a higher being, how come there is so much suffering down here? Answer that when you have a few free years to ponder the intricacies, but enjoy this album now.
review
Rickert G. - Endless Thoughts
June 3, 2025
The songs on “Endless Thoughts” have body, soul and feelings galore, and the way that RICKERT G. has put his compositions together makes a whole lot of sense. It makes for almost 42 minutes of very divers and exciting Metal.
review
Katatonia – Nightmares as Extensions of the Waking State
June 2, 2025
As the first album without one of the founding members, the band has forged ahead. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention some of traditions from Anders are missing, but good bands find ways to work past departures. For long time fans, there are a few surprises, but the core of what you love is still there. The newer approach may also bring with it some new fans. Their signature sound of bleak resonance and bleeding density are still very much alive.
review
Listless – Listless
May 25, 2025
I thoroughly enjoyed the album, and it offered more than many other Black Metal deliveries. Sure, the firm, aggressive tones are there, but so are softer, more pensive tones. Add these two with a sweeping sense of despair, and you get an album that is steep in regret as it is in anger.

review
Shadow of the Talysman - As Above, So Below
May 15, 2025
A good first coming from this North American Thrash Metal act that has an aggressive outfit with good melodies.
review
TÖRZS – Menedék
May 13, 2025
At first glance, you may find this collection of five songs to be melancholy or even sad offerings. That is true, but the depths that they explore seem to know no bottom. Each song does indeed inspire self-reflection, and sometimes, with just a few notes, your eyes are opening to endless possibilities. You need a full set of breaths to explore what the band has laid out for you here, so take in a deep one, and take the plunge.
review
Genune – Infinite Presence
May 11, 2025
The album features doses of Post Black and Blackgaze elements that hint at the future of this genre, and not wanting to remain still, they band shifts the sound constantly throughout the album so that, as a listener, you never know what may be around the corner. Sometimes it’s a cold bite of harsh vocals, and other times, it’s a freshly washed feeling that comes from clean, melodic passages, and the two are balanced impeccably.

Alutka – Merok
April 17, 2025
The album is a fragile bridge between what was and what now is. It’s a moment when time feels suspended, and the rhythms of ordinary life are intentionally disrupted to make space for sorrow, reflection, and memory. To mourn is not just to suffer; it's to affirm the significance of what’s been lost. The duration of mourning may vary, but its essence remains the same: it marks the soul's attempt to realign itself in a world permanently altered. When the mourning period ends, symbolically, it may represent a kind of return, to a life that now carries the imprint of grief, woven into the fabric of ongoing existence.
review
Nephylim - Circuition
April 8, 2025
During the fast moving 38 minutes that “Circuition” is emitting its impressive sounds I am very much in a dream state. It didn’t look like I would be when I started listening, but with every time the record has been coming through my speakers, I have had to admit that it is even better than the last time I listened.
