March 14, 2025
The Athenian Lords of Black/Death Metal are back with a new classic 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
review
Crypts Of Despair – We Belong In The Grave
March 10, 2025
“We Belong In The Grave” is a fine mixture of brutal Death Metal and Deathcore, driven by punishing guitar riffs and relentless drumming. The album is an excellent blend of grim atmospheres and aggressive pummelling of the listener
review
Black .44 – Bloodlines
March 5, 2025
Although this was a simple sound, it had enough ummph and energy to it, you can’t help but like it and get caught up in some of the aggression and melodies. Not all music has to be overly complicated.
review
Tyran - Tyran’s Oath
February 27, 2025
A fine traditional Heavy Metal act that has a great potential to be turned into music.
review
Sidewinder - March of the Eternal Heretic
February 27, 2025
WOW, what a great mix between Hardcore, Crossover and Thrash Metal is heard here!
review
Genocidal Rites - Genocidal Upheaval of Subservient Abrahamic Law
February 27, 2025
The empty throne of Old School Black Metal found its pretender...
review
Nachtblut - Todschick
February 14, 2025
Wow, what a lovely mix between Dark Metal with Gothic Rock influences!
review
Fifteen Stitches - Beyond The Wall
February 12, 2025
Good, but can be better.
review
Grave Digger – Bone Collector
January 27, 2025
GRAVE DIGGER’s Bone Collector is a casket full of bone-cold metal. Nothing too groundbreaking, but when you’ve been playing at the heavy metal table for 45 years, consistency trumps innovation.
review
Eigenstate Zero – Shape of God Though of Sun
January 27, 2025
For me, the album was like a caged tiger in the zoo who is let free only to perform in front of an audience. Make no mistake, control of him is an illusion however, because he could strike you dead with just a few swipes of his massive paws and sharp teeth.
review
Stenched - Purulence Gushing from the Coffin
January 23, 2025
A good Death Metal release of a band that can do way better than this.
review
Blazemth – Gehenna
January 17, 2025
This album wasn’t a total loss, but the band has to find a way to put some distance between them and other bands in the genre. Black Metal’s boundaries are endless, but they chose to stay within specific confines.
review
Barshasketh – Antinomian Asceticism
January 16, 2025
This music isn’t for the faint at heart. Because once you open the book, its power and secrets come into you. The moment you allow one to enter, all of the others get a free pass. You have to ask yourself, are you able to handle this much power? Save for a few special people, all the rest will fail answering this question. This album was as black as Black Metal gets.
review
Pathogenic – Crowned in Corpses
January 16, 2025
This album was executed nearly flawlessly. It was cavernous, and resounding, and the aggressive and sometimes nihilistic tones were tempered at just the right times with snippets of melody, showing a band that has a deep well of creativity. The sound drew you in, charmed and beguiled you, like the undertow of the ocean, promising salvation that never materialized. In the end, we are all just dust.
review
Rigorious - Kingdom Unfold
January 15, 2025
Missing a few ingredients.
review
Contrition - Pariahs
January 9, 2025
An Old School mix between Death Metal influences with traces of Grindcore can be foun on this EP.
review
Asphyxia - Exit: Reality (Reissue)
December 27, 2024
A fine reissue for this full-length of one Belgian Thrash Metal act that had to go against the tide.
review
Mystyc Blade - The Master Is Inside
December 23, 2024
That feeling that you will get from listening to “The Master Is Inside” is one of discovery, as if you have found another diamond in the rough. And yes, maybe you have if you like what MYSTYC BLADE is treating us to.
review
Total Hate - Forthcoming Age of the Reaper
December 18, 2024
A fine Old School Black Metal release, in the vein of the Second Wave of Black Metal!
review
Twisted Mist - Gehenna
December 15, 2024
I was a bit leery about Death Metal and Folk being mixed. The melodic tendencies of Death, however, make the pairing surprisingly compelling. “Gehenna” by TWISTED MIST. Strongly recommended for Pagans and Judeo-Christians alike.
review
Rizen- Ex Cinere
December 15, 2024
California Hard Rock from the UK.
review
The Host - Blasphemare MMXXIII/The Origin Through the Void
December 12, 2024
If you want a different experience on Black/Death Metal and Blackened Death Metal, tastae this quintet's music.
review
Slechtvalk - At Death’s Gate
December 12, 2024
Black Metal for the masses!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
review
Bloodmoon Eclipse – For I Am Your Death
December 12, 2024
Unfortunately, much of this album falls into the droning noise category for me. There were few discernable riffs, and the vocals were delivered in much of the same manner from song to song. This wasn’t a total loss, but it wasn’t very memorable either.
review
Van Zant - Always Look Up
December 9, 2024
The lyrical content of “Always Look Up” makes it very clear about what has happened with the VAN ZANT brothers in their musical as well as family lives. They are all written and sung in plain English, without mincing words or intentions. What it boils down to is that after some 20 years of chasing their dreams they found that it was time to return to the beliefs they had before that time.
review
Blasphemous – To Lay Siege and Conquer
December 8, 2024
I can’t say “To Lay Siege and Conquer” is a terribly inventive album, but it is consistent. If you like your Blackened Death Metal with no spoiler influences like Symph or Atmospheric, this album might be your poison.
review
Retromorphosis – Psalmus Mortis
December 8, 2024
One thing that is immediately noticeable about the album is the fact that it is steeped in the deep traditions of the genre, but it refuses to remain there. They band uses a modern approach to the music, and their technical mastery is strong. For me, it’s model of how modern Death Metal bands should be.
review
In We Fall - Inner Self
December 5, 2024
This Portuguese Alternative Metal/Rock quartet understands what to expand limits means.
review
Steel Inferno - Rush Of Power
December 1, 2024
If you are able to stand or sit still while you are listening to “Rush Of Power” you are either dead on your way there. I don’t care if you like this kind of Speed Metal or not, this will get your juices flowing and your body moving.
review
Thyrathen - Lakonic
November 29, 2024
Wow, this band shows that Hellenic Black Metal still has some surprises to show! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
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
Misanthropia - Envy the Dead
November 21, 2024
WOW, what a great Melodic Black Metal release!
review
Einst - Einst
November 21, 2024
A fine first release of this Atmospheric Black Metal. If you like the genre, you must hear to it!
review
Night in Gales - Shadowreaper
November 17, 2024
“Shadowreaper” is a testament to the strength of the modern day melodic death metal scene. These guys are as good as any of the other old school MDM bands and they still stand tall above anyone in the modern scene.
review
Iniquitous Savagery - Edifice of Vicissitudes
November 14, 2024
The potential of this Brutal Death Metal quartet is amazing. Be prepared for the massacre!
