Karloff - Revered by Death
March 6, 2026
Revered by Death" is an okay album, but let's not parade around claiming to play all the genres all the time, ya hear me Karloff?
review
Cnoc An Tursa – A Cry for the Slain
February 23, 2026
Quite an album, CNOC AN TURSA’s “A Cry for the Slain.” Also, a hell of comeback.
review
Warp Rite - Of Blissful Strife
February 22, 2026
I like the idea of "Of Blissful Strife," but I don't really like "Of Blissful Strife."
review
Astral Spear - Ancient Throne of Sinister Rites
February 19, 2026
I'd like to see more from this project, so I'll be patently waiting for Astral Spear-related news.
review
Thus Defiled - Wings of the Nightstorm (Reissue)
February 17, 2026
Whereas the musical style definitely is Black Metal, THUS DEFILED aren’t afraid to venture out into Thrash and/or Heavy metal territory when the songs demand it. That is where the real power lies within THUS DEFILED.
review
Redenção Pelas Chamas - Redenção Pelas Chamas
February 17, 2026
I never knew how great black metal in Portuguese sounded up until today.
review
Siechknecht – Pestmond
February 16, 2026
Siechknecht’s “Pestmond” is one of those albums that make you glad to be alive. It’s tough and bold and it’s also melodic and inspiring.
review
Tårfödd - Lidande
February 16, 2026
If the digital only release of TÅRFÖDD’s “Lidande” left you a bit peckish, you can now snag its physical cousin via Purity Through Fire.
review
Crossover - Miserere
February 10, 2026
So long as symphonic pirate isn’t your bag, this album is sure to please.
review
Lamp of Murmuur - The Dreaming Prince in Ecstasy
February 2, 2026
When a black metal album has a painted cover, I know I'm in for some […]
review
Astarte - Blackdemonium
January 21, 2026
While this may not be an album I ever really go back to, I appreciated the time I had with it, and R.I.P. Tristessa.
review
Garde - Harbinger of Revenge and War
January 20, 2026
Viking metal... A niche genre popularized by the efforts of Bathory, Moonsorrow, and literally any other Nordic black metal band that wanted to get a little folky and LARP-y.
review
Gravetaker – Sheer Lunacy
January 20, 2026
If you like your metal raw and visceral, GRAVETAKER’s “Sheer Lunacy” should be on your menu
review
Olde Outlier – From Shallow Lives to Shallow Graves
January 20, 2026
“From Shallow Lies to Shallow Graves” is full of filth, very sharp edges, and all the metal you can eat.
review
Ernte - Der schwarzen Flamme Vermächtnis
January 6, 2026
ERNTE gives us an altar full of second-wave Black Metal with “Der schwarzen Flamme Vermächtnis,” reminding us that the old traditions are sometimes the best, especially the dark ones.
review
St. Unholyness – Through High Holy Haze
December 29, 2025
Metal fans of all kinds can find something in this album to enjoy from Doom to Stoner to Groove to Black, Christina touches on it all.
review
Draculum – Poems of Spellcraft
December 22, 2025
Each of the six tracks is a bit of mystery, beckoning the listener to unravel them. Signposted by year, the titles hint at a possible unified narrative if not by characters than at least by theme.
review
XIV Dark Centuries – Aus uralter Zeit
December 16, 2025
Five years has been a bit of a wait but then again, the band does measure itself in centuries so I guess I can’t really complain.
review
Infernal Presence – Fiery Path
December 15, 2025
“Fiery Path” is traditional Black Metal with direct and punishing guitar riffs, aggressive growls, and blood-freezing melodies
review
Flagelo - Insatiable
December 8, 2025
a LOT of noise, and a LOT of waiting for the noise to actually DO something.
review
Hagzissa – Revelry of a Maltreated Jade
December 1, 2025
“Revelry of a Maltreated Jade” is an enigma of an album. The end effect is an album that demands repeat listens in various states of consciousness.
review
Abominator - The Fire Brethren
November 27, 2025
The amount of times I've compared this album to white noise is weird...
interview
“We didn't have examples; we didn't have any references to follow.” - Monika Chrościelewska, CZART
November 20, 2025
CZART is an experimental metal band hailing from Poland. The concept behind their debut album, “Czarty Polskie,” has been controversial not only for the AI debate but for the many references to Polish demonology. On All Hallows Eve, Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, caught up with members of CZART to discuss everything from AI to the reasons why metal resonates so much in Poland to whether we are living in the best of times or the worst. Most importantly, they discuss the beloved CZART goat.
review
Morke – To Carry On
November 17, 2025
As far as “To Carry On” goes, a well-written, well-executed album. Recommended for any fan of Atmospheric or Melodic Black Metal.
review
Destruction Ritual - Providence
November 14, 2025
Destruction Ritual knows how to fill time with intense, long blasts of black metal atmosphere...
review
Bliss Of Flesh - Metempsychosis
November 12, 2025
Blackened death? Deathened black? Whatever it is, it rocks.
review
Bastard Cröss – Crossripper
November 3, 2025
BASTARD CRÖSS comes on like they have a grudge against your eardrums that they need to resolve with insane urgency.
review
Czart – Czarty Polskie
October 27, 2025
CZART’s “Czarty Polskie” is a watershed album. They legitimize the whole AI metal endeavor . . . and if that sounds like sacrilege, remember metalheads have a long tradition of treading heretical paths.
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.
interview

October 23, 2025

review
Fauna – Ochre & Ash
October 19, 2025
If I think on that album cover and I close my eyes and just let the music take me, I can smell the smoke rolling off the fire, feel the sting of the night frost, sense the ancients in the air.
review
Nihili Locus – Nihil Morte Certium
October 19, 2025
“Nihil Morte Certium” has been 24 years in the making. It documents the trajectory of NIHILI LOCUS as well as the eras of extreme metal which they were not only a part of but helped to shape.
review
Profane Elegy - Herezjarcha
October 13, 2025
“Herezjarcha” demonstrates a heightened level of songwriting and an impressive agility with shifts from the chaotic to the ordered. With an expanded lineup their trajectory has hit a serious upward inflection.
review
Agenbite Misery – Remorse of Conscience
October 13, 2025
An outstanding artifact of Blackened Experimental metal. Highly recommended to that not-so-rare intersection of literature geeks and metalheads.
review
Häxär - Teufelskult
October 6, 2025
“Teufelskult” is an impressive third offering from V Noir and his HÄXÄR project, a testimony to the depth of BM.
review
Desaster – Kill All Idols
September 30, 2025
“Kill All Idols” is a smart mixture of Black and Thrash Metal with influences from the early 80s and a few Punk/Hardcore twists
