Album Review
review
Wolfheart - Draconian Darkness II
November 10, 2025
“Draconian Darkness II” is an EP of just over 20 minutes. It is filled with Melodic Death Metal mixed with Epic Rock and Metal and it apparently has been recorded to be played alongside the original album.
review
In Virtue - Age of Legends
November 10, 2025
I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by the music that is on offer, but also at the quality at what IN VIRTUE is capable of delivering.
review
Insidius - Vulgus Illustrata
November 10, 2025
To me everything that is on “Vulgus Illustrata” has been done just right. And the fact that after just over 38 minutes my only thought is to play the record again, will tell you more than enough. I think (and hope the band does too) that INSIDIUS have been successful in giving the (in my case) unsuspecting audience a bloody good portion of devastating and overpowering Death Metal.
review
Suotana - Ounas II
November 10, 2025
This isn’t soft or gentle; this is like a battering ram knocking on your plywood front door. It comes straight through, causing all the wood splinters to scatter around the whole of your front room. Musically “Ounas II” will have your brain working in overtime, trying to accept and dissect what is coming out of your speakers. Your thoughts will be all over the place, scattered, until you start to get a feeling at where SUOTANA is going.
review
Dysentery - Dejection Chrysalis
November 4, 2025
Let me put the Death Metal in general and especially the DYSENTERY fans at ease. What you get on “Dejection Chrysalis” can’t be construed as anything else that Brutal Death Metal.
review
Unén - Forever Winter
November 4, 2025
Musically the band know where they need to get their ideas from, and they are widely spread. Due to the musical genre UNÉN is using, there are the usual suspects, which I will not mention. The reason for that being is that I feel that you need to listen to the twelve songs on “Forever Winter” in their own merit, experience and judge them as their own entities instead of comparing them to any name I might have mentioned.
review
Various Artists – No Life ‘Til Leather, A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All
November 4, 2025
How do you review a tribute to an album that has changed the whole way you look at Metal? That has been a benchmark for other bands to try and equal, emulate or better (as if that was possible).
review
Thrash Bombz - Bio Decay
November 3, 2025
When I start to listen it is clear that the name of THRASH BOMBZ has been chosen for a reason. The Thrash Metal sounds that are being omitted from the speakers are quite tell-tale, as there is no doubt as to that is the musical genre that fills over 55 minutes of “Bio Decay”.
review
Witchunters - Different Universe (2CD)
November 3, 2025
Let me start by mentioning that if you want to get your money’s worth when buying a double album you can’t go wrong with “Different Universe” (2CD) by Italian band WITCHUNTERS. The original album already has a playing time of 70:05 minutes, while the “1985 – 1999 More Than A Demos Anthology” is another 67:36 minutes of traditional Heavy Metal.
review
Unprocessed – Angel
October 30, 2025
I genuinely thought they wouldn’t be able to better “...And Everything In Between”, but they have. UNPROCESSED have produced my album of the year with “Angel”. I dare anyone to make me listen to anything more impressive than this.
review
RVH Project - Land Of The Damned
October 30, 2025
“Land Of The Damned” actually is released on the day that this review is published, 30 October 2025. And to say that this is a huge improvement in comparison with the debut album is quite the understatement.
review
The Hyena Kill – Collapse
October 30, 2025
At first listen I was very sceptical at what I was listening to. I felt the music of THE HYENA KILL was all over the place, until I realised that I was comparing every song with opening song “Sly”.
review
Raphael Weinroth-Browne – Lifeblood
October 30, 2025
This album is definitely not for the faint of heart, or for those who love traditional Heavy Music. You have to be a lot more open and, in this case, very adventurous. Not only that but you need to be partial to a bit of Classical Music, whilst also loving your AOR and/or Melodic/Heavy Rock.
review
Dead And Dripping - Nefarious Scintillations
October 25, 2025
“Nefarious Scintillations” is an album for those who love the real stuff, the unpolished and rough around the edges Death Metal.
review
Eisregen - Krebskolonie (Reissue)
October 25, 2025
EISREGEN could, would and should have benefitted from an even better and more explosive sound, especially for a reissue. Now it’s just a bit too tame, almost like it has been dulled by too many blows.
review
Strangers - Boundless
October 25, 2025
The Melodic Rock that STRANGERS play can be classed as solid, straight forward and direct. The band just doesn’t do strange breaks, difficult passages or weird tempo changes. Nope, nothing in that direction. “Boundless” is brutally honest, very much open and completely transparent in music as well as sound, as it has a brilliant production.
review
Steelpreacher - Gimme Some Metal
October 22, 2025
STEELPREACHER might not set the world on fire, they are definitely set on providing us a good time with very open and easy listening Metal. And on “Gimme Some Metal” they have succeeded in doing just that. Hats off to them.
review
Extortionist - Stare Into The Seething Wounds
October 18, 2025
Musically I can’t fault “Stare Into The Seething Wounds”, as EXTORTIONIST is doing everything right. They go from fast and furious to slow, deliberate and emotional within seconds.
review
Typhus - Fate Weaver
October 18, 2025
If I had to write a conclusion in a few short words , it would be that “Fate Weaver” is a solid album that will appeal to a lot of lovers of Heavy, Power and Speed Metal. If TYPHUS works on their writing and is able to improve with time, I feel that they can reach a really big audience.
review
Goad – Dusketha
October 16, 2025
“Dusketha” is a double album with over 116 minutes of music. It is Progressive Rock/Pop, and definitely not Metal, so if you’re expecting Heavy and/or distorted guitars, pounding rhythms and intricate structures and songs, you’re not going to get it.
review
Armoured Knight - The Quest For The Sacred Melody
October 16, 2025
“The Quest For The Sacred Melody” has speed and momentum, as the songs are rather good. Yes, this has all been done before, but somehow the musicality of the tunes does give you that edge that makes you listen just that little sharper, that piques your interest whereas others just don’t.
review
Revenge - Night Danger
October 16, 2025
REVENGE is a Heavy Metal band in the old fashioned sense, but they are able to spice up their sound by adding as many Speed Metal parts and rhythms as possible. It gives the music on “Night Danger” a lively and inspiring sound.
review
Pandemic Outbreak - Torment Beyond Comprehension
October 15, 2025
There can be no bones about that what PANDEMIC OUTBREAK has produced on “Torment Beyond Comprehension” is above reproach. If you don’t get what I’m saying, simply put I can say that this is bloody good indeed!
review
Wings of Steel - Winds of Time
October 14, 2025
The term “Let the music do the talking” has never been more apropos than for WINGS OF STEEL and the release of their highly anticipated new album “Winds of Time”, where nostalgic old school metal meets innovative and vibrant new overtones to create a musical euphoria.
review
Det - Destructive Elite Terror
October 7, 2025
The songs all have that kind of vibe that will remind you of bands like MIDNIGHT and early AGENT STEEL, only a little (or if you will, a lot) rougher around the edges. It sounds like DET have decided to leave all their tunes as pure and unedited as possible. And even though I would liked to have a better production, I have to admit that the way that this is done really fits the bill.
review
Auri - III - Candles & Beginnings
October 5, 2025
The songs on “III - Candles & Beginnings” themselves are not bad at all, if this is the kind of music you like. They have all been composed and played in a good way, giving room to all the instruments as well as the multiple layers of voices. If you ever need a respite from the heavy and loud noises of your Metal addiction, this might be a good antidote.
review
Curse Of Cain - Achtung!
October 5, 2025
Movie Metal? Really? That is how the music that CURSE OF CAIN plays is described in their EPK. To me this is just a modern take on a mix between Melodic Rock and Metalcore with Nu-Metal.
review
Eld Varg – Destroyer
October 5, 2025
The name ELD VARG is a Swedish one, and it means FIRE WOLF. I too agree, it sounds better in Swedish.as for what kind of Heavy Metal that is on “Destroyer”, it is the simple and straight variety. Nothing elaborate or intricate is being done here.
review
Biohazard – Divided We Fall
October 3, 2025
And as far as I can determine, the compositions that you find on “Divided We Fall” is what I was hoping for on a new BIOHAZARD album. They stand out, they have form, they are hard hitting, direct and if you ask me bloody impressive.
review
Jester Majesty - Infinite Measure, Finite Existence
October 2, 2025
JESTER MAJESTY is showing us as listeners that they are capable of making music that is not standard, and certainly not boring.
review
Saüc – Catarsi
October 2, 2025
SAÜC have made a very decent and solid attempt with “Catarsi” and should be able to attract the attention of a lot of the traditional Heavy Metal enthusiasts as well as those who are not afraid of something new.
review
Sanity's Rage - The Dead Don't Run
September 30, 2025
What can you expect as you start to listen to “The Dead Don't Run”? Well, one thing is for sure, this will wake you up. The Thrash Metal assault of SANITY’S RAGE is full of energy, very enthusiastic and uplifting, and will have you taking notice from the first note until the last.
review
Jelusick - Apolitical Ecstasy
September 30, 2025
Their first album “Follow The Blind Man” was reviewed by me for Metal Temple when it was released in 2023. And the conclusion was quite clear; I thought it was a good album, but that the band needed to grow in the songwriting department. Well, they apparently have listened to my advice, and although they’re not there yet, the tunes that I get to hear on “Apolitical Ecstasy” are quite the improvement.
review
Cytolysis - Surge Of Cruelty
September 30, 2025
I might not be the most devoted Death Metal enthusiast, but I know what I like, and “Surge Of Cruelty” has a musical substance that I find very good indeed.
review
Phenomy - Phantasmagoria
September 29, 2025
“Phantasmagoria” is a whirlwind of different emotions and levels of intensity, but there is one thing that all songs have in common; they all sound bloody good and just right. This makes PHENOMY into a very interesting prospect for any adventurous Metalhead or Heavy Rocker.
review
Born Divided - Chronicle Of A Shipwreck
September 29, 2025
It doesn’t matter whether BORN DIVIDED plays fast and furious, slow and deliberate or is hovering somewhere in between, everything on “Chronicle Of A Shipwreck” is as it should be.
