review
Savage Sword - Demo 2026
January 27, 2026
The production isn't great, and I love it.
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
Rozario - Northern Crusaders
January 19, 2026
The sound that ROZARIO brings to the table is very interesting The musical genre might be Heavy/Power Metal, the sound they use can easily be seen as contemporary, but it also has one foot very clearly in the eighties.
review
Dymytry Paradox - Born From Chaos
January 18, 2026
What is immediate is the feeling that even though this might be a debut album for DYMYTRY PARADOX, these are definitely not newbies at playing this kind of music. This is intense, this is energetic, this is enticing.
review
Death Dealer - Reign Of Steel
January 18, 2026
As far as DEATH DEALER's music is concerned, you can compare “Reign Of Steel” to anything you might hear from THE THREE TREMORS in comparison to any other band the members are active in. This is very Heavy Power Metal with a lot of over the top vocals complementing the rather busy, utterly impressive and quite intense and intricate guitar playing by the two outstanding guitarists.
review
Assignment - With The End Comes Silence
January 18, 2026
Musically this is sandwiched between some subtle Melodic Metal and pure unadulterated Heavy Metal. You will hear the band bouncing from one to another and back with great ease, giving the music on “With The End Comes Silence” a versatility that avoids you getting bored in that respect.
review
Aittala – Ill-Gotten Gains
January 12, 2026
“Ill-Gotten Gains” is an EP for our times.
review
Another Realm- Origin
January 12, 2026
I don't remember symphonic prog being this unexciting...
review
Hounds - Rise Of The Immortals
January 11, 2026
HOUNDS are an Italian Heavy/US Power Metal band born in 2016. Their music is mainly inspired by the great masters of Heavy Metal and 80s US Power Metal, including JUDAS PRIEST, SAVATAGE and VIRGIN STEELE. Well, if that doesn’t sound promising, I don’t know what does.
review
Rozario - We Are One (single)
January 11, 2026
Heavy metal rockers ROZARIO return with the second single/video from their upcoming album “Northern Crusaders” and promise to keep the “Northern Crusade” rampaging.
review
Skull & Crossbones - Time
January 8, 2026
Opening tune “Echoes of Eternity” goes from 0 to 100 mph in just a few seconds. And let me tell you, if this song doesn’t do it for you, just ignore the rest of the album.
review
HyperioN - Cybergenesis
January 7, 2026
HYPERION isn’t the next band to take over the world, but they are a band that has the ability to please and entertain a lot of (mostly) old fashioned Metal fans with the music they have provided us with on “Cybergenesis”. And because they have been able to provide the record with a very clear, transparent, but above all contemporary sound, a lot of the young Metal afficionados might be quite willing to not only give this a go, but also their sign of approval.
review
Pagan Altar - Lords of Hypocrisy (Reissue)
January 5, 2026
PAGAN ALTAR might not have conquered the world with this album, I do believe that, judging by what I am hearing on “Lords of Hypocrisy”, they did and do deserve a whole lot more credit than they have had throughout their career. And in that respect, you have to applaud Dying Victims Productions for pushing the boat out by airing this album for a second time.
review
Stargazery - Carnival Puppeteers
December 30, 2025
I think there are enough people around to really appreciate what STARGAZERY plays in the 53 minutes that make “Carnival Puppeteers”. Oh, and look out for the two covers, from DIO and DEF LEPPARD. they are quite alright...
review
Sabaton - Legends
December 21, 2025
There is not one wrong note on this album. All the songs are well balanced, very easy for the ears and most of all, of a very high quality. I can only applaud what I hear on “Legends”, as SABATON have once again given you a completely finished product that is ready to be admired.
review
N.Y.C. - Built To Destroy
December 21, 2025
It is clear for me that N.Y.C. comes over a lot stronger, makes a lot better impression when they play loud and straight ahead. That’s when the class and their experience shows itself, when they really have an impact with “Built To Destroy”.
review
Sacrifice – Tears
December 16, 2025
If you ask me, this Japanese version of SACRIFICE should have been at least as big worldwide as the Canadian Thrash Metal band with the same name. There can’t be any doubt at all that these guys were capable of writing and recording bloody good music. On “Tears” that gives us over 44 minutes of beautiful Heavy Metal.
review
Rozario - Fire & Ice (single)
December 10, 2025
“Fire & Ice” is the first single/video from the highly anticipated new album from the hard rocking Norwegian band ROZARIO
review
Evil Scarecrow - Silicon Tea
December 10, 2025
Did you know that submarines can have feelings too? Well, if you listen to opener “Nuclear Fallout Machine Sentience” the band will set you straight on that one
review
Jet Jaguar – Severance
December 10, 2025
While the songs are clearly the most important part of the process when they write their music, they also never forget to have fun while doing so. That makes that especially guitarist Ariyuki Saddler gets the chance to demonstrate his techniques.
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.
