review
Iotunn – Kinship
October 1, 2024
This album strikes an intricate balance between aggression and melody, offering an experience that feels both forceful and refined. The band pours an immense amount of melody into their hardened structures, creating a dynamic soundscape that’s as brutal as it is beautiful. What’s remarkable about this album is its ability to remain cohesive despite its sprawling ambition. They push the boundaries of the genre with complex time signatures, layered compositions, and melodies that rise like ethereal waves above the crushing weight of the music. For fans of extreme metal looking for something that transcends the typical formula, this is an album not to be missed.
review
Sepulchre by the Sea - Seven Chambers
September 30, 2024
While “
Seven Chambers
,” certainly isn’t a bad album, it is one that I just couldn’t find a firm grasp to hold on to. There is plenty of talent here and someone else may enjoy it far more than me. I look forward to their next album, despite my misgivings on this one.
review
Wings Denied – Just the Basics
September 29, 2024
This was a good album and a pleasurable listening experience. I get many of the Alternative and Metal elements which are blended well on the album, but the Progressive elements are more subtle. The band is talented, and they have a propensity for writing catchy songs that stick with you.
review
Lethal Technology – Mechanical Era
September 25, 2024
Both of the singers are great, and the contrast between their styles is well done. The band is also talented, and considering this is their debut effort on a record label, that is an accomplishment in and of itself. Some areas of critique, however, include the sudden and sharp transitions in and out of the competing passages, and making a stronger synergy on the songs. This comes as the band spends more time together and learns each other’s tendencies, and their willingness to explore.
review

review
Arx Atrata - A Reckoning
September 24, 2024
In
"A Reckoning"
,
"ARX ATRATA"
has crafted not just an album but a world unto itself. This is music that demands to be engaged with on a deep level—each listen reveals new layers, new intricacies hidden within the sound. The production is immaculate, allowing each element to shine while maintaining the album’s overarching sense of cohesion and purpose. This is a release that will resonate deeply with fans of atmospheric black metal. It’s a journey, a reckoning, and a blackened experience.
review
Worshipper – One Way Trip
September 23, 2024
“One Way Trip” is a mixed bag. WORSHIPPER is a good enough band, certainly, but not distinctive enough to really stand out in the metalsphere.
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
The New Roses - Attracted To Danger
September 19, 2024
Surrender to the danger of Glam Metal/Hard Rock exposed on this album! NOW!
review
Maysnow – A Dream Within a Dream
September 17, 2024
The album did have a dreamy quality to it as the band described, and you can tell that the musicians poured every bit of heart into their craft. The one main criticism I have is the overall direction of the album, it just wasn’t clear to me. Then again, Progressive music can leave the listener hanging out to dry, because it beguiles you to use all of your senses, and questions can linger.
review
Soror Dolorosa – Mond
September 17, 2024
This album drips with ‘80s nostalgia, weaving lush synths and pulsing drum machines into every track. The melodies have a neon glow, but beneath the shimmering surface lies a deep sense of melancholy. With layers of electronic textures and atmospheric pads, each song taps into a longing for something lost—love, time, or connection. The album feels like the soundtrack to a dream you can't quite escape, blending the energy of retro electronica with the quiet sadness of heartache and reflection.
review
Ascian – Sing to Me, Sweet Void
September 16, 2024
The Doom sound was more pronounced that the Post sound for me, but that didn’t take away from me enjoying the album. Some of the cleans were a bit pitchy, but you can’t deny the power of the gutturals, tearing hope to pieces in front of your eyes.
review
Oceans of Slumber – Where Gods Fear to Speak
September 13, 2024
What makes this band so interesting in my opinion is the complexity of their songwriting. They blend several genres together that, on face value, are difficult to synergize. At times, they border on the pretentious side, but what Progressive Metal band doesn’t? The boldest actions are the transitions, which can be startling, even unpleasant. That quality that they have captured seems to be the exact core of the new album.
review
Mob Rules - Celebration Day - 30 Years of Mob Rules
September 12, 2024
A fine Heavy/Power Metal 30th celebtartion!
review
Svartelder – Trenches
September 11, 2024
This was a diverse plate of Black Metal with a lot to offer fans, and I love how this traditional band reinvented itself to modern times, throwing the blueprint out the window and forging their own path in the genre. There are some nice surprises here as well.
review
Derelict - Versus Entropy
September 11, 2024
From Canada comes their new stench of technical death tinged in deathcore with their return to the world of metal.
review
The Black Dahlia Murder – Servitude
September 7, 2024
Veteran bands like this who are signed to a major label often take the safer path, and that is what THE BLACK DAHLIA have done with “Servitude.” Knowing that their long-time fans were not up for much change with the new singer on board, they delivered an expected sound. I think Eschbach’s vocal performance was excellent on the album, they just need to take a few more chances.
review
Borer - Bag Seeker
September 5, 2024
Are you a Sludge/Stoner Metal addicted? So you must hear to this band.
review

review
Heavy Rain – Heavy Rain
September 1, 2024
HEAVY RAIN is a three piece Heavy Rock/Blues/Psychedelic Rock band from Blackpool, England. I only know that town from the Rock that is a candy stick and the Blackpool Tower, which is the little cousin of the Eiffel Tower. But I certainly have grown to like it a lot more, mainly due to the music on “Heavy Rain”.

review
Between the Killings - Omnipotence
August 28, 2024
A second installment to the depravity of a killer expressed with sheer brutality
review
Wormed - Omegaon
August 27, 2024
WORMED does such a great job at expressing an epic sci fi saga that is rooted in technical brutal death, but they are so much more than this. There are just so many layers to the complexities of WORMED than just mere brutal death metal.
review
Waste - In Bloom
August 27, 2024
Exploding out of Minneapolis to put MN deathcore on the map with a hybridisation of nu metal and metalcore that bleeds into their heavy sound of deathcore.
review
Sarajah - Sarajah
August 26, 2024
“Sarajah” is 37 minutes and 40 seconds of down-tuned, slow groove Doom. It has no pretense, no avant-garde ambitions, just dark stories told to dark music.
review
Silver Horses - Electric Omega
August 25, 2024
Good soft hard rock.

Kayleth – New Babylon
August 19, 2024
KAYLETH’s “New Babylon” is a great story and a great album. Now I just wish it was a movie, a video game, and an RPG too.
review
Human Infection - Gravesight
August 13, 2024
The most memorable parts are the bad parts, and everything else is just “meh.”
review
Ghostheart Nebula – Blackshift
August 10, 2024
The album reminded me of a slow, evil rot creeping over the lands. At first, people start getting sick from things they can’t see. When the blackness taints flowers and grey skies become more visible, some people begin to retreat, and others lose their sense of self. By the time the sickness and rot have taken hold, people wander aimlessly, and without a connection to others, the void has won.
