Album Review
review
Banderstadt – Red
September 8, 2025
BANDERSTADT is able to give you quite varied and good quality songs that have depth, are full of soul but in the end are pure Metal that moves, that enthrals the way it should. The Folk aspects in the music add a beautiful layer that has me very much in awe of “Red” as an album and therefore with BANDERSTADT as a band.
review
Crimson Coven - -0- The Genesis
September 8, 2025
Even though there isn’t an original note or lyrical line to be found on “-0- The Genesis”, I can’t help but enjoy what CRIMSON COVEN has put out. But as the songs are quite lengthy, give them time to grow on you.
review
Exiled – The Real Thing
September 8, 2025
, “The Real Thing” is a very solid and worthwhile effort by EXILED. I now am wondering how these guys sound live, as this is the kind of music that should do better in a live setting than in a studio. Let’s hope we get the chance to find out.
review
Kingdom - Primeval Cult Of Strength In The Womb Of Suffer
September 8, 2025
Even though most of the time you can’t understand what Death Metal bands are grunting about, KINGDOM makes it even harder by using their mother tongue when vomiting their lyrics through my speakers. And I applaud that, as it does make it easier for the artist to properly express what they intend to say. Or in this case, grunt.
review
Monoliyth - He Who Kills
September 8, 2025
“He Who Kills” is Brutal Death Metal, but still houses a lot of those small moments of subtlety, even if they sometimes only last a second. And I am glad they have done that, as it gives the Death Metal attack on the senses a little more depth, a tiny amount of emotion that isn’t rage, anger or violence.
review
Demiurgon - Miasmatic Deathless Chamber
September 5, 2025
And even though the music on “Miasmatic Deathless Chamber” is so encroaching and effective in heaviness and intensity, you never get the feeling that DEMIURGON is overdoing it, is playing above or out of their league. You always have the sensation that they are well within their comfort zone.
review
Nefarious - Addicted to Power
September 5, 2025
Thrash Metal is the main ingredient that NEFARIOUS uses to mark their music. but it is not all they use. Nope, you will also get regular Heavy Metal mixed in, but in a way that the Thrash Metal title used will stay upright through it all.
review
The Rods - Wild Dogs Unchained
September 5, 2025
Their eleventh album “Wild Dogs Unchained” hit the streets on 5 September 2025, just one year after the latest one, which is quite fast in today’s market. And again, there is enough to enjoy. In the 52:38 minutes that THE RODS fire their brand of Heavy metal at you there is no choice. You either love what they do, or it just doesn’t rock your boat.
review
Vintersorg - Vattenkrafternas Spel
September 5, 2025
What Vintersorg always had a good knack for is writing good songs that really fit what he is trying to say. And I can tell you that on “Vattenkrafternas Spel” he has been able to do that once again, giving VINERSORG another strong piece of slab with which they hopefully be able to conquer even more souls than they have until now.
review
Animal Rage - Last Standing Man
September 3, 2025
Let me start by saying that ANIMAL RAGE have a lot of courage in how they portray their music. For example, how many bands would be able to put a very much folklore song like “Animals In The Sky” on a record. It might not be Metal, but to my ears it is beautiful.
review
Degrave – Metalithic
September 3, 2025
I like what I am hearing, even though I had to take my time to get used to how the voices are used on “Metalithic”. I feel that DEGRAVE is a good addition to what is already a massive Thrash Metal community.
review
Heartkiller - Üdv A Világomban
September 3, 2025
I have to conclude that musically HEARTKILLER have their ducks in a row. And even though you aren’t able to understand one word that is being sung, this does sound good. You don’t have to worry about bad pronunciation or dictation. Instead, you just get to enjoy the atmosphere and character that the voices used and instruments played are expelling through your speakers.
review
Traversus - Navigate
August 29, 2025
Sometimes you like to listen something that isn’t going top blow your brains out, or that will have you on edge all of the time. Then you just want something more light-hearted, but still sounding good. Well, I found something that just fits that bill with TRAVERSUS.
review
Theriac – Years Of Chaos
August 29, 2025
What surprises me more than anything is that with what THERIAC has laid down on tape and given to the Thrash Metal world I am rather confused as to why the band never got a record deal during those years that they were active. The quality of the songs is more than adequate, the way they play their Thrash Metal is eclectic, or if you will, chaotic.
review
Frightmare – Snake Island
August 29, 2025
Singer Brian Miller is also active in the band BURNT OFFERINGS, so if the name rings a bell that would make sense. He also is the only original member in the band. The rest came along on 2020. Well, this FRIGHTMARE album “Snake Island” is more of a compilation that houses the most current releases that the band brought into the world.
review
August Life – Passage Of Time
August 28, 2025
AUGUST LIFE is able to incorporate sounds like no other, and have the ability to sound as impressive when they tone it down as well as when they go for broke.
review
Warmen - Band Of Brothers
August 28, 2025
I don’t think that before this one WARMEN ever came this close to the original sound of CHILDREN OF BODOM as they have succeeded in doing now.
review
Pilgrimage - From Amber To Sun
August 26, 2025
On “From Amber To Sun” the band has just over 48 minutes, divided over eight songs, to make you take notice. And musically the band have it all thought out. The songs are all on a proper level, have just the right elements to be called Doom Metal, but also offer enough variety to prevent you from feeling that you are constantly listening to the same song over and over.
review
Vittra - Intense Indifference
August 26, 2025
The VITTRA album “Intense Indifference” will not be offering you any new insights, but what it will do is emphasize that if a band knows how to incorporate the right sounds and vibes into their music, they are capable of producing a very strong album.
review
Bloodride - Deafening
August 24, 2025
Even though I like my Thrash Metal BLOODRIDE somehow has escaped my attention throughout all those years. Until now that is. And I can assure you that I am glad that this hiatus in my Thrash Metal history lesson has been rectified, because to make a long story short; I like “Deafening”.
review
Crime – Cold Air
August 24, 2025
CRIME isn’t hitting the dizzying heights of immortality, but they are certainly capable of playing good songs, recorded in just the right way.
review
Dragonsclaw – Moving Target
August 24, 2025
Don’t expect any new grounds to be discovered on “Moving Target”, but just expect DRAGONSCLAW to do their best to prove to you and me, the listeners, that Melodic Rock doesn’t have to sound jaded, bland or boring, but that it is possible to make it sound bloody exciting, invigorating and full of life.
review
White Mantis – Arrows At The Sun
August 24, 2025
The fact of the matter is that WHITE MANTIS has taken Teutonic Thrash Metal and injected new life into it on “Arrows At The Sun”.
review
Rise Of The Wood - Discharge
August 14, 2025
Let me start off with a bit of history first. In 2015 in the province of South Holland in the Netherlands a group of musicians got together and started a new band, which they baptised as RISE OF THE WOOD. And yes, if you are of a dirty mind, that could be exactly why this name was chosen.
review
The Great White Nothing - Passage I Melancholia
August 14, 2025
With “Passage I Melancholia”, we tell the story of a man leaving his home and known world behind in search of solace in the most unforgiving of places. This album dives deeply into the stories of 20th century Antarctic pioneers, exploring their hardships and fervour. This is not a concept album per se, but we drew inspiration from historical personal accounts and the desolate landscapes of the Antarctic. We took that awe-inspiring, freezing abyss and brought it to life.
review
Vicious Rumors - The Devil's Asylum
August 12, 2025
This is US Metal as it should be played; with conviction and dedication. The guitars really enhance each other’s power whilst still being distinguishable individually. As for singer Chalice, he can reach heights that are almost unnatural for a bloke.
review
Black Water Rising - The Edge
August 12, 2025
I wouldn’t call myself a Stoner Rock lover or connoisseur, but I do love old fashioned Rock and Metal, and even with the contemporary sound that is to be found on “The Edge” I hear enough that makes me travel back in time when everything was done manually, all those expensive and complicated gadgets weren’t available.
review
Wolfskull - Midnite Masters
August 9, 2025
There is nothing wrong with what WOLFSKULL is playing on “Midnite Masters”. What will help some people is that the voice of singer Pete 9 has a similar sound as out little giant Glenn Danzig has, only with a little more variation in his timbre.
review
Ursawrath – Emergence
August 9, 2025
How high I feel that URSAWRATH can climb. I really have no idea. They haven’t been together that long (I think), and if they can produce this just two years after their original demo, they might have a future.
review
Biolence - Violent Obliteration
August 9, 2025
Everything that BIOLENCE does on “Violent Obliteration”. has a nice ring to it, the songs are well versed in changing tempo and intensity, and not once during the whole listening experience do feel that they are out of tune or out of sync.
review
Ashes of The Sun - Gods With Machines
August 9, 2025
Well, let me first off tell you that this is not Extreme Metal in any way or form. No, on “Gods With Machines” you will hear simple Heavy metal and Rock, intertwined with slower and more emotional musical parts to heighten the diversity and widen the range of musical paths travelled.
review
Devilpriest - Where I Am the Chalice, Be Thou the Blood
August 5, 2025
Polish Metal Scene has a new contender to the throne. I present to you Devilpriest!
review
Void - Forbidden Morals
August 4, 2025
Musically there is one thing for sure; if you like it straight forward without any side-tracking you should skip “Forbidden Morals” as it is like an ADHD patient that has consumed too much caffeine.
review
Verdalack - Force From the Grave
August 4, 2025
The riffs, breaks and tempo changes are available in abundance with VERDALACK. And the tempo usually is quite high, to the fact that I was almost considering to call this music High Speed Metal.
review
Martyr - Dark Believer
August 4, 2025
After their very impressive 2022 album “Planet Metalhead” they have more inspiration and now are giving us “Dark Believer”, their sixth studio album in total. And if you have heard or do own any of their former albums, I can put your mind at ease, as MARTYR have taken off where they left it all last time
review
Accvsed - Dealers Of Doom
August 1, 2025
Somehow German Metalcore bands have the real ability to sound so angry that you feel that they are in danger of coughing out their intestines in the process. This is certainly the case with ACCVSED from Wiesbaden, who have deemed it time to try and through us off our normal behaviour and disturb the peace and quiet with their debut album “Dealers Of Doom”.
