review
Nachtblut - Todschick
February 14, 2025
Wow, what a lovely mix between Dark Metal with Gothic Rock influences!
review
Fragmentary Solid Abyss - Concento Pavor Nocturnus
February 12, 2025
All in all, this is a decent little album but it would better resonate with me if there was more focus on full length songs than the shorter instrumentals.
review
Greh – Dysphoric Devotion
February 11, 2025
Dysphoric Devotion is a solid Blackened Death artifact. It doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. This is pure, unmitigated extreme metal with no flourishes or facades. Only serious metal fans need apply.
review
Hesperia - Fra Li Monti Sibillini
January 21, 2025
this album definitely reaches too far and too often for ideas that don't quite meld into the songs very well. I'm going to give it a four but I could understand anyone giving it an extra point or two either way but it's just not working for me.
review
Infested Angel - Threnodies to Eternal Despair
January 21, 2025
All in all,
INFESTED ANGEL
’S “
Threnodies to Eternal Despair
,” is an early year surprise for me and a very solid debut. I will definitely be looking forward to what else they can do!
review
Jarl – Trümmerfestung
January 19, 2025
JARL does not disappoint with Trümmerfestung. Solid 8’s all the way around for this hammer blow of ruthless Black Metal.
review
Luring - Malevolent Lycanthrophic Heresy
January 16, 2025
Atmospheric Black Metal in the vein of the Second Wave is what you'll find on this full-length.

review
Gorgon - For Those Who Stay
January 3, 2025
A fine Black Metal assault is promoted by these Franch pioneers.
review
Dewfall - Landhaskur
January 3, 2025
DEWFALL
’s “
Landhaskur
,” is a stunning album that mixes it up with a large variety of unorthodox approaches to black metal without sacrificing any of the genre’s more traditional elements. Highly recommended.

interview
Benjamin Guerry: “Lovecraft may be the sixth member of the band. It's always music first, but Lovecraft is part of the band, you know? He’s part of the lyrics, part of the concept, part of the emotion. Lovecraft is The Great Old Ones and The Great Old Ones is Lovecraft.”
December 29, 2024
The Great Old Ones is a Lovecraftian Black Metal band out of Bordeaux, France. Yes, the same place that makes that awesome elixir the world consumes like blood. The band is dedicated to stories and legacy of H.P. Lovecraft as well as the dark sensibilities of Black Metal. On January 24, 2025, the band releases their fifth full-length album which was reviewed in Metal Temple on November 18, 2024. Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, recently caught up with founder, vocalist, and guitarist Benjamin Guerry to discuss the band’s love of H.P. Lovecraft, their latest album, "Kadath," and what lies in future for The Great Old Ones.
review
Inverted Cross – Eternal Flames Of Hell
December 24, 2024
INVERTED CROSS deliver a very traditional mixture of Speed and Thrash Metal with direct anf simples guitar riffs, aggressive vocals, and grim melodies
review
Vulcano - Anthropophagy (Reissue)
December 18, 2024
This remastered verson of this classic from this Brazilian Black/Thrash legendary act is really great!
review

review
Abyssal Frost - The Pyre Aflame
December 18, 2024
Wow, what great first full-length is delivered by this North American Blackened Death Metal band!
review
Myrholt - Blandede Meninger Og Aforismer
December 16, 2024
All in all,
Myrholt
’s “
Blandede Meninger Og Aforismer
,” is a wonderfully balanced album between two different approaches to black metal and effectively combines them together with interesting songs.
review
Grave With A View - Raw Illumination
December 16, 2024
GRAVE WITH A VIEW
have upped their game with “
Raw Illumination
,” and have solidified themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the black metal scene. This is a strong sophomore album from a band that shows endless promise because they thrive in the endless void.
review
Weltschmerz - III: Non Sequitur
December 12, 2024
The essence of what Black Metal is can be found on this release.
review
Djevel - Natt til ende
December 9, 2024
DJEVEL
’s “
Natt til ende
,” is an impressively bleak album that is just as engaging with its atmospheric side. This album will please fans of more straightforward blackened tendencies as well as people who want a little more depth to their black metal.
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
Nigrum – Blood Worship Extremism
December 8, 2024
“Blood Worship Extremism” delivers exactly what it promises: blood worship extremism—all wrapped up in lo-fi, brutal FW Black Metal.
review
Unholdun - Fœhn
December 8, 2024
All in all, UNHOLDUN’s “Fœhn,” is a solid if unremarkable album. It provides an entertaining 42 minutes of bleak, frozen black metal but after the ride is over, there isn’t much reason for a return trip.
review
Ploughshare - Second Wound
December 2, 2024
PLOUGHSHARE is a black/death metal band from Australia that hit the scene in 2017 with […]
review
Panzerchrist - Maleficium - Part 1
December 2, 2024
PANZERCHRIST
is a band that has always been very dependable, providing one solid release after another. Much remains the same for this latest album–while it certainly isn’t mind blowing or trying to reinvent the wheel, it’s a solid effort from a band that is the definition of “what you see is what you get.” With that being said it’s infectious and engaging enough to take a return trip.
review
Auriferous Flame – The Insurrectionists and the Caretakers
December 2, 2024
For all the Extreme Black Metal true believers out there, I highly recommend this one
interview
Summoning the old spirits under the spells of the Shaman Witch
December 2, 2024
Since years in the past, the capital of Brazil revealed names that practice unusual (and excellent) ways into Metal genres. And the veteran MIASTHENIA is always one relevant name since the days they came with “XVI”, telling histories and old tales about Pre-Colombian civilizations of America. And with “Espíritos Rupestres”, the band gives another step ahead, using a central concept for the lyrics, and showing a new lineup. Then, we had the opportunity to talk with the band to known about the past, the present and future ambitions.
review
Thyrathen - Lakonic
November 29, 2024
Wow, this band shows that Hellenic Black Metal still has some surprises to show! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
review
Temple Of Decay - Anti Deus
November 29, 2024
This release shows how Poland still has some great talents on extreme Metal to show.
review
Suidakra - Darkanakrad
November 25, 2024
SUIDAKRA’s “Darkanakrad,” is yet another fantastic album from a band that has been around a long time but, thankfully, shows know sign of slowing down. It has all the hallmarks of a well written album that flows nicely from beginning to end.
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
The Great Old Ones – Kadath
November 18, 2024
Metalheads and metal artists tend to enjoy exploring obscure corners of the universe. THE GREAT OLD ONES and “Kadath” are perfect examples. Great stuff for metalheads who like their fiction the same way they like their metal—dark, heavy, and highly disturbing.
review
Panzerfaust - The Sons of Perdition - Chapter IV: To Shadow Zion
November 17, 2024
PANZERFAUST
’s “
The Suns of Perdition - Chapter IV: To Shadow Zion
,” returns the band to the top of their game and a sterling example of what music is capable of doing when a band can fully realize their vision and present that vision effectively to its listeners.
review
Paysage D'Hiver - Die Berge
November 17, 2024
All in all,
PAYSAGE D’ HIVE
R’s “
Die Berge
,” is a fantastic atmospheric black metal band that doesn’t sacrifice any hallmarks of the genre in return for such a long, winding, adventure. Despite its length, this is an engaging album that will provide hours of enjoyment as long as you are patient with it to show you what its made of.
