Lux Interna – New Wilderness Gospel
May 10, 2025
The deep blue colors and forest landscape of the album cover hold some of the keys to the sound on the album. It might be a reminder of the power of nature, or even its importance. It could be a warning of what happens if humanity continues down the path of destruction. The really intriguing part of the album is how the band fuses a sound from the past with hints of the future. For me, it’s a slow burn, but the more I listen, the deeper the connections.

Amenra – De Toorn
May 8, 2025
It’s hard to gage an entire EP based on two songs, but I can comment on two main themes I hear…the first, is a heavy emotional burden that is woven throughout, and the second is much of that emotion is pain and torture, yet also things that we all face nearly everyday in our life. The album piqued my interest in the band, and I am looking forward to diving into some of their newer material.

review
Dwellers – Corrupt Translation Machine
May 6, 2025
The songs are simple, but the deep level of emotion is not something so easily accomplished. At times, it makes me yearn for something more…maybe even something better than I have. At other times, it makes me a bit sad to settle for what I have, which is my truth. Maybe through, it’s not so bad? As the album fades away, I make a vow that I will box that feeling of longing and throw away the key.
review
Rivers of Nihil – Rivers of Nihil
May 6, 2025
The album registers as a bold and ferocious entry into the realm of Progressive Death Metal that marries unrelenting aggression with a structural intelligence rare in the genre. It is a balancing act between chaos and calculation…a sound that never loses its teeth, even as it brushes against moments of eerie melody and intricate musicianship. In a landscape crowded with brutality for brutality’s sake, this album is a fusion of relentless death metal ferocity, progressive ambition, and melodic sensibility. It’s the sound of a band not afraid to push, twist, and mold their aggression into forward progress. It's evolution with its fists still clenched.
review
Harem Scarem – Chasing Euphoria
May 5, 2025
Hooks for days…that is what the album does best. The band also has a strong sense of musicianship and use of harmony in the backing tracks. As I recently had a discussion with my daughter about, these things sound sugary on the ears, but they are hard to compose properly. The band once again is firing on all cylinders here on “Chasing Euphoria.”
review
Pyramids – Pythagoras
May 2, 2025
Get ready to test everything you think you might know about blackgaze/shoegaze, or music in general, because “Pythagoras” from PYRAMIDS is one of the most uniquely pleasing albums that I have heard in a while, genres notwithstanding. It stretches conventional boundaries so far, they threaten to snap. There is a bite here as sharp as a viper’s fangs, but I am content to just let the melodies wash over me in the waves that they come.
review
Wind Down – The Burning Past
April 29, 2025
Let’s start with the positives…the band is talented, and the songs are weighted, even a bit of melody from time to time. The grooves are strong, and the production clean. But, nearly the entire album was done at the same pace…a slow, or mid-tempo one. I call this the “mid-tempo blues,” and it really holds back an album from getting off the ground.

review
Messa – The Spin
April 10, 2025
To call “The Spin” a Doom Metal album is to oversimplify a work that claws at the edges of genre, digging deep into sonic spaces that feel far too expansive, too emotionally turbulent, too alive to be contained by any one label. What’s remarkable is how they use it as a foundation but build a whole landscape on top — one that includes gothic drama, ambient dread, and even moments of light. It’s a slow burn, but it’s also a journey across a fractured psyche. There’s narrative here, emotional range, and a deep sense of intention. It’s Doom Metal for listeners who want more than just a genre fix.

review
Whiskey Ritual – Still Scum
April 1, 2025
This type of free-flowing, Fuck You attitude is what is largely missing in the music scene today, and reminds me of the great political and religious non-conformists DEAD KENNEDYS did back in the day. They pull no punches, and hold nothing back. Although the album is simple from a composer’s standpoint, music doesn’t have to be overly complicated for you to enjoy it.
review
Spiritbox – Tsunami Sea
March 26, 2025
I used to be a Metalcore fan many years ago, but what bands are pushing today just doesn’t excite me. It is overly predictable and formulated. This album is anything but. It is modern, energetic, bold, daring, and so much fun to listen to. There’s a reason why this band is so well known and has so many accolades…they just make great music, and this album is another step in their evolution.
review
Tómarúm – Beyond Obsidian Euphoria
March 26, 2025
The band has a seemingly endless plethora of tools at their disposal on the album. As complex as the album is, and as utterly ambitious as their vision was, it also has a binding cohesion to it. On sheer musicianship alone, it is simply beyond the standard rating system. It is a rare feat to craft something so technically precise yet emotionally gripping, so brutally intense yet undeniably elegant. This is not just an album for those who crave speed, aggression, and virtuosity—it is an album for those who seek an experience, one that pushes and pulls, devastates and soothes. It’s a masterclass in precision, power, and poise.
review
Streetlight – Night Vision
March 23, 2025
The only thing questionable about the album is the coverart, because the music is excellent. It takes me back to the 1980’s when bands knew how to deliver a chorus, an art that seems to be missing from a lot of music these days. The music is expertly balanced with guitars and keyboards and the vocals are outstanding as well.

Temple of Dread - God Of The Godless
March 7, 2025
In a realm where darkness meets artistry, Florida’s
Temple of Dread
emerges as a formidable force in Death Metal with their latest opus,
God of the Godless
. This 2024 album is a masterful blend of raw brutality and atmospheric nuance—a journey that transcends mere nostalgia for the genre’s early days while simultaneously paying homage to its visceral origins.
review
SVNTH – Pink Noise Youth
March 7, 2025
This is not music that settles into one feeling; it is an album that lives in the tension between them, where grief fuels rebellion, where pain and resilience are inseparable, and where every song feels like a battle between destruction and redemption. In the end, it does not leave the listener broken, but neither does it offer false comfort. It does not promise that everything will be okay, but it does promise that the struggle is worth something. It is an album that carries both the weight of sorrow and the fire of defiance, the burden of grief and the light of something that refuses to die.

Serenity In Murder – Timeless Reverie
February 24, 2025
“Timeless Reverie” is a multi-faceted album with many different layers. It is mainly a symphonic and melodic Death Metal album, where the guitars and the orchestral arrangements drive a characteristic and unique sound, all kept very well together by an excellent vocalist, who gives the album a different dimension

Destroyers of All – In Darkness We Remain
February 19, 2025
This was an excellent album. The band keep true to their aggressive roots but were able to mix in several other elements to keep their sound fresh. They are also accomplished musicians that execute with confidence.
review
Mastord – Lemmon Lintu
February 17, 2025
This was a solid listen for me, but too many of the songs fell into the same somber category, and I would have liked to have heard the band take a few more chances, maybe some change of pace songs even. I enjoy somber music, but this was just a bit too much.

review
Frogg – Eclipse
February 16, 2025
The band is immensely talented, and their musicianship registers off the charts. Some constructive criticism? Some of the songs sound too sterile and technical for me. The little snippets of melody are very well done, and if they would let some of them linger a little longer, they would have more of an impact. Still, this is an album that every Metalhead should hear, for the technical brilliance alone.
