review
Tailgunner - Midnight Blitz (single)
December 4, 2025
When heavy metal icon K K Downing produces your latest album and loudly proclaims “They personify everything that is heavy metal” the music world takes notice.
review
Greystone Canyon - Something Borrowed…Something New
December 4, 2025
The name of the album is quite fitting. “Something Borrowed…Something New” relates to the fact that half of the songs are covers and the other half new songs by the band themselves. GREYSTONE CANYON has released two albums before this one, and the 2024 one called “Iron & Oak” got a perfect rating from my colleague “Metal Mark” Garcia. He rightfully wrote that these Aussie have a knack to sound like they belong in the seventies. And that they also really know how to play and make songs sound good.
review
Not Fragile - One Way To Glory
December 2, 2025
I have also reviewed their debut EP “Who Dares Wins”, and you’ll find that as the one next to this one on the METAL TEMPLE site. What I get from listening to their debut EP as well as this compilation album is that NOT FRAGILE has been very constant in the quality of their songs. Nowhere are they superb or out-of-this-world brilliant, but neither can you catch them being subpar at any time at all.
review
Not Fragile - Who Dares Wins
December 2, 2025
I have to say that as a debut you can do a lot worse than “Who Dares Wins”, while at the same time it will be hard to do much better.
review
Kill Ritual - In My Head
December 2, 2025
Musically the band have evolved in such a way that it will be easier for new admirers to step in, whilst those who already liked what KILL RITUAL did so far will be able to continue their admiration. “In My Head” is that good, yes.
review
Them - Psychedelic Enigma
November 30, 2025
Musically these guys are clearly very well versed in reading each-others minds and complementing what they do in such a way that it all sounds as coherent as superglue. It makes going through the 56 minutes of playing time that “Psychedelic Enigma” holds rather easy to endure.
review
Fate's Hand - Steel, Fire & Ice
November 20, 2025
I can tell you straight away that the production of the music on “Steel, Fire & Ice” is more than adequate, making what is being played very clear, transparent and therefore all the instruments are easily distinguishable. The riffing that is used is clear, heavy and to the point, as you expect from an Australian band; they usually don’t beat around the bush.
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
Redshark – Sudden Impact
November 14, 2025
What immediately becomes clear is that the band have opted to change their dimensions between Heavy Metal, Power Metal and Speed Metal by putting the emphasis on the latter of the three for “Sudden Impact”. It makes this album just a tad more intense, slightly more in your face and certainly unable to ignore when you are listening to it.
review
Willfire - Homebrewed Recordings
November 13, 2025
WILLFIRE is a band from Järvenpää, Uusimaa, which is in Finland. They play pure straight forward old fashioned Heavy Metal, and have done so since 1998.
review
Solar Sons - Altitude
November 11, 2025
The force is strong with this one.
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
Denial Of Life - Witness The Power
October 30, 2025
This is the first I have ever heard of DENIAL OF LIFE, and not to put a fine point on it, but this “Witness The Power” EP is one that will have your ears and brain working from start to finish. The way singer Brenna Gowin starts to try and expel her intestines from her innards when she starts shouting is nothing less than impressive.
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
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
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
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
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.
interview
"Doom isn’t just a genre, it’s an approach to music." – Stefano Fiorelli, WARCOE
October 7, 2025
WARCOE hails from Pesaro, Italy. Formed in 2021, following the year of our plague, the Doom trio has been blazing a trail through the Italian Doom scene with one monumental album after the other. On September 26, 2025 they released their third full-length album, “Upon Tall Thrones,” which not only weighed in at 8/10 on the Metal Temple scales but hit #1 on Doom Charts for September 2025. This month Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, was able to catch up with Stefano Fiorelli (guitars, vocals) to discuss the origin story of WARCOE, details of their latest album, and even speculate on the impacts of AI and streaming platforms.
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
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
Hyperstrike – High Risk
September 30, 2025
“High Risk” is a Power Metal album, but the album sound is very versatile and leaves plenty of room for other genres and inspirations
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
Wings of Steel - Burning Sands (single)
September 29, 2025
WINGS OF STEEL are back with vengeance on the third single “BURNING SANDS” from their highly anticipated album WINDS OF TIME due for independent release on October 17th.
review
Warcoe – Upon Tall Thrones
September 21, 2025
Quintessential Italian Doom Metal. “Upon Tall Thrones” is the third proof point for WARCOE. This is a band with some unholy staying power.
review
Castle Rat – The Bestiary
September 21, 2025
A metal band that would feel as comfortable at GenCon as they would at Wacken Open Air.
review
Hatred's Rise - Echoes Of The Machine
September 20, 2025
HATRED’S RISE has a hell of a sound, but most of all is comprised by a group of very good and experienced players.
review
Arson Charge - A Dying Light
September 20, 2025
I love that ARSON CHARGE has been signed by a record company with the apt name of Anxious & Angry, as that is the main description of what the music on “A Dying Light” is portraying.
review
Atomik Train - Atomik Train
September 12, 2025
Canada has given the world three of my favorite pass times, hockey, drinking beer and eating bacon, and two of the three I am considered a pro. They also know how to rock and roll, so let me put my beer and bacon down as I drop the needle on the latest import ATOMIK TRAIN.
review
This I Owe – Alchemists
September 12, 2025
Let me take away any doubts; if you like Melodic Heavy Metal with some extra influences thrown in, you might just like what THIS I OWE is bringing on “Alchemists”. This album already was available to the public from 25 February 2025, but now Iron WormHoleDeath have stepped in with their extensive network to help the band to gain international recognition.
review
Wheel Of Time – Asymmetry
September 11, 2025
Progressive Metal of this high calibre and quality needs to be heard by every Prog enthusiast, but also by every Melodic afficionado. The songs are all bloody brilliant, to say the least. The production is clear and transparent, but also very clean. It means that although this is Progressive Metal, the ProgRock fan should also be able to enjoy what WHEEL OF TIME is offering on “Asymmetry”.
review
Hunter – Rebel Angels Rise
September 5, 2025
I have really enjoyed listening to HUNTER on “Rebel Angels Rise”, as it invigorates my own enthusiasm for traditional Heavy Metal.
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.
