Dirkschneider - Balls to the Wall Reloaded
January 23, 2025
Liking it or not, this remake for this old Heavy Metal classic album is really excellent!
review
Utility Provider - Challenger
January 23, 2025
A surprising Progressive Metal release from these Canadians killers!
review
AntiMozdeBeast – The Alien Machine
January 21, 2025
This was a very personal album seen through the lens of one composer, and it challenges the very notion of what music even is. Although some of it is more like background ambiance, it did make me feel a peculiar way, which although is hard to describe, is the very point of music in the first place.
review
Cerebral Hemorrhage - Exempting Reality
January 20, 2025
Cerebral Hemorrhage - Exempting Reality, a force to be reckoned with and a forgotten classic coming back to haunt and daunt the non believers.
review
Úlfarr – Fornetes Folm His Crown Grows from His Skull
January 10, 2025
This was a difficult album to listen to for a few reasons. First, it was quite vanilla, it terms of the flavor spectrum of music. Second, the vocals were delivered in nearly the exact same way in every song. Third, the riffs were used so many times in the past. What resulted was a fairly bland album.
review
Moon Wizard - Sirens
December 30, 2024
Pro tip for this album: Headphones are a must. And not that crappy pair that came with your phone—I’m talking noise-cancelling, over-the-ear bad boys that will immerse you in the liquid smoke that is MOON WIZARD.
review
Loudblast - Altering Fates and Destinies
December 27, 2024
Wow, thre French Death Metal division is back for a ruthless attack! Surrender to it! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
review
Cryptic Brood - Necrotic Flesh Bacteria
December 27, 2024
The new release of the German Doom Death Metal trio is truly sick! What are you waiting for?
review
Corroding Soul – Corroding Soul
December 22, 2024
What truly elevates this album, however, is its ability to maintain its emotional weight throughout. Even in its most melodious moments, there’s a simmering undercurrent of tension and despair, a reminder of the genre's uncompromising roots. It’s an exhilarating, transformative experience that proves melody and aggression can coexist in perfect harmony.
review
Slechtvalk - At Death’s Gate
December 12, 2024
Black Metal for the masses!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
review
Rifftera - Coda
December 12, 2024
This surprising EP is really GREAT!!! 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻
review
Ozora – Litanie
December 9, 2024
After extensively listening to “Litanie” I can only say that I am impressed with the OZORA and their musicality. Especially in the heavier department they are a force to be reckoned with.
review
Planet Of Zeus - Afterlife
December 2, 2024
Good Metal from Greece.
review

review
Nasty Ratz - Third Cut
November 30, 2024
Not so nasty.
review
Grand Magus - Sunraven
November 25, 2024
“
Sunraven
,” further proves that
GRAND
MAGUS
is one of those bands that will give you what you see. And there isn’t a thing wrong with that. I wish more bands were as consistently badass as
GRAND MAGUS
. If you’re a fan of the band, “
Sunraven
,” will please you and then some but if you lost track of them for whatever reason, this will definitely pull you back in.
review
Warpstormer - Warpstormer
November 25, 2024
While the cover, and even their monicker, suggest a fuzzed-out Stoner trip, what we get is a ripping Thrash attack underpinned with the down-tuned sensibilities of Doom. Think THE SWORD gone Thrash.
review
Kildonan – Embers
November 23, 2024
This was an album with potential, and you can easily connect with the themes mentioned above. It was Black Metal really only in the sense of some of the backing vocal screams, and took on a more doomy quality for me.
review
Misanthropia - Envy the Dead
November 21, 2024
WOW, what a great Melodic Black Metal release!
review
Warm Gadget – Sorrows
November 18, 2024
As for the music, it is exactly I would expect from an Industrial band that has their feet firmly in the nineties like WARM GADGET. No new found experimantation, no Extreme Metal sidelines, Simple and effective, with hard beating drums, good heavy bass playing, piercing guitar riffs and a very disturbing voice.
review
The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara – Origins
November 15, 2024
My biggest problem with the album is the label. I know, I know, I tend to be a bit of a gatekeeper. But when you call yourselves Progressive Metal yet you are pretty far from that definition, I take issue. The album wasn’t bad per se, but it fails to really get under your skin and light a fire. That fire could even be subtle emotion. I hate to be overly critical, but I am still scratching my head.
review
Shining – Feberdrömmar
November 5, 2024
New album? Well, that’s not exactly true, as the original version of this album, called “8½: Feberdrömmar I Vaket Tillstånd” is from 2013. It was an in-betweener for the band between albums. Apparently a good one, as it is being rereleased.
review
Bedsore – Dreaming the Strife for Love
November 1, 2024
This was an unusual album in many ways. The only real ode to Death Metal is in the vocals, and some harder elements in the music. The sound was wide open for me, and they made some very strong steps forward into the varied and sometimes odd world of Progressive Metal. I also enjoyed their dark brand of music immensely. This is definitely a band to keep an eye on.
review
Tethra – Withered Hearts Standing
October 28, 2024
There was a contrast between the clean and harsh vocals, as well as a nice balance between the emotions of anger and despair. I loved the female vocals especially, and would have liked to have heard more of them. The album brought up conflicting feelings for me, and that is always the mark of an interesting listening experience.
review
Black Oak County – III
October 23, 2024
This album doesn’t attempt to recreate the wheel, but what it does is present a genuine and honest energy from a group of rockers who take no prisoners. I can also hear how well the music would translate to a live audience. 12 songs was just a little too much in terms of overstaying its welcome, but it was a good listen.
review
Transport League - We Are Satan’s People
October 23, 2024
Wow, this release is really amazing, and fans of Hard Rock, Sludge Metal, Groove Metal will love it!
review
Koldbrann - Ingen Skånsel
October 10, 2024
The Old Norwegian Black Metal spirit is alive on this full-length!
review
Besra – Equilibrium
October 10, 2024
The four songs here had a lot of depth, but coerced me into taking the path into the dark that I was warned not to follow. It led me to a brook, where the water shined in the bring moonlight. But the more I looked around, it became obvious that this was a place of deep pain, and a place where you can unburden that pain for a while. When you leave, it returns, beguiling you to remain there forever alone.
review

October 8, 2024
TERRORVISION are a 4 piece band from Bradford, England who formed in 1987 as THE […]
review
Buryfication - Gallows Rise
October 3, 2024
A fine first full-length from this Finnish youg Death/Black Metal band.
review
Blue Öyster Cult – 50th Anniversary Live, Second Night
September 28, 2024
The story goes like this: “In September 2022, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT enthralled fans with a unique trilogy of sold-out shows, each dedicated to one of their first three albums.” Thankfully, faithful recordings of the events are now available through Frontiers Music.
review
Sidewinder - Talons
September 23, 2024
SIDEWINDER’s sophomore album, “Talons,” like the band’s namesake, is a killer. I want to say something quirky here about getting your ‘talons’ into it, but that might be too much, so I’ll just leave it at a ‘strongly recommended’ and walk out with my dignity.
review
Vananidr – In Silence Descent
September 20, 2024
The best part of the album is how the sound gutted you as much as its aggressiveness excited you. What began as a familiar sound took a turn down a darkly lit path and into the trees beyond, and you might not want to see what was discovered there.
review
Excruciation - [P]Ain
September 19, 2024
If you want Doom Metal, this release is what you're asking for!
review
Wolfheart – Draconian Darkness
September 9, 2024
This was an excellent album, with a nice combination of Melo Death elements and symphonic ones. The orchestral sounds didn’t take over the music however, but rather were there in support. The music was vital, and powerful, and leaves the listener with a sense of the magnanimous.
review
Marche Funebre – After the Storm
August 26, 2024
Overall, this was a fantastic album from start to finish, and the deep, expansive tones of hatred and despair trade off fluidly throughout. Attractive melodies intertwine within the caves beneath the earth, and you find yourself sinking more with each passing note.
