Fordity - Ritus Panoptis
February 24, 2026
Fordity's "Ritus Panoptis" did absolutely nothing for me as a listener, but I'm glad Fordity got some anger out while recording it.
review
Falchi - Solace
February 23, 2026
These instrumental progressive metal artists seem to have formed a tight-knit community with their colorful album covers and relentless shredding.
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
holotropic - individual
February 22, 2026
It's a different kind of adrenaline rush I get when I see a band cite a philosophical work at the bottom of a lyric sheet.
review
Epinikion – The Force Of Nature
February 22, 2026
“The Force Of Nature” offers traditional symphonic Metal with the emphasis being on “symphonic”. The orchestral arrangements are always present, but there is a good mixture of heavier, guitar-driven songs, and tracks where the orchestral arrangements are more prominent
review
Lightning Strikes - The King Is Victorious
February 19, 2026
While it's possible to pull off heavy metal in the current age, "The King Is Victorious," with its Duolingo sentence-like song titles, masterbatory guitar solos, and drawn-out compositions, falls flat.
review
Denounced Disgraced - Depths of the Grave
February 18, 2026
Lollipops!
review
Metalodon - Indestructible
February 11, 2026
You know that feeling when you see an album cover, and you just sit there knowing that the music inside is going to be bad or at least entertaining?
review
Buried - Imagined Deformation
February 9, 2026
"Imagined Deformation" is a technically proficient, brutal death metal album, but most of its instrumentation is simply not to my taste.
review
Skyclad Cult - Many Will Never Know This Freedom
February 6, 2026
This EP is so endearing.
review
What Will Be – Primordial
February 4, 2026
I have to say that even though this isn’t even close to my cup of tea, there is no denying that WHAT WILL BE exists of four very good musicians who really gel well together. They know how to complement each other in such a way that it makes the songs sound very good indeed.
review
XIII Doors - Into The Unknown
February 2, 2026
Just because I showed up fashionably late to the XIII DOORS party (album dropped February 2025) doesn’t mean the lights are off and the keg is empty. Oh contra ire, this party is just warming up. So grab a drink, snag an appetizer and squeeze into the mosh pit as we drop the needle on “Into The Unknown”.
review
Ian Highhill – A Hymn Among Gravestones
January 31, 2026
What I can tell you that in the forty minutes that you get to enjoy “A Hymn Among Gravestones” there is no escaping the fact that IAN HIGHHILL is capable or writing good songs that have a pull, that will draw you in and that will pique your interest from the first second until the last.
review
Avalanche – Armed To The Teeth
January 31, 2026
How Australian do you want to sound? Well, in the case of AVALANCHE very much so. The music they play can easily be categorised as Speedrock versions of what AC/DC and ROSE TATTOO have stood for all these years.
review
Omnifear - Kingdom
January 29, 2026
Overproduction is a myth, it's not misogynistic, and it's not stale. Deathcore is great when done right - this was done right
review
Thorndale - Spiritual Chains
January 27, 2026
So we have THORNDALE who are a four piece stoner rock/doom metal band who have […]
review
Stellvris – Shatter And Bloom
January 18, 2026
The sound of “Shatter And Bloom” is inspired and influenced by many different Metal subgenres as well as by Pop elements. It is an interesting mix of everything, often alternating melodic and crushing elements
review
Zero Tolerance – A Test Of Strength
January 18, 2026
“A Test Of Strength” is not the classical fast and aggressive Thrash Metal, it is mainly a mid-tempo album with many twists and breaks in rhythm. It is technically faultless, but it lacks excitement, spark, and something extra
review
Walk In Darkness – Gods Don’t Take Calls
January 12, 2026
WALK IN DARKNESS offer a blend of symphonic and melodic Metal with Gothic twists. Symphonic/melodic Metal fans, who like it dark and slow will enjoy their new album

December 18, 2025
"A techdeathmess from the midlands," you say...

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
Fimbul Winter – What Once Was
December 8, 2025
“What Once Was” is dark, epic, and melancholic. It offers excellent guitar work, crushing basslines, and chilling melodies, all kept together very well by versatile vocals
review
Hellbearer – Darker Fates
December 2, 2025
“Darker Fates” is classical Thrash Metal, it is a fast and aggressive delivery of tight guitar riffs, crushing basslines, and spine-chilling melodies
review
Dragon Throne - Tale of the Two: Dusk
November 30, 2025
I now know what a koto, an erhu, and a shakuhachi are!
review
Tales Of Destiny – Ashes Of Destiny
November 24, 2025
“Ashes Of Destiny” offers a blend of traditional Power Metal elements and classical Heavy Metal. The guitars and vocals are the key contributions to the album with good and variable guitar riffs, cool solos, and very versatile vocals
review
Warfield Within – Rise Of Independence
November 12, 2025
“Rise Of Independence” is a smart mixture of Death and Thrash Metal delivered with direct and punishing guitar riffs, double-bass attacks, and aggressive growling vocals
review
Darkness Surrounding – Is There Salvation?
October 28, 2025
“Is There Salvation?” has the best elements of traditional melodic Death Metal: powerful guitar riffs, dark melodies, and great lead guitar solos
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.
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

Terrordome – Plagued With Violence
September 8, 2025
TERRORDOME deliver Thrash Metal at high quality. “Plagued With Violence” is utter madness, fast as hell, aggressive, and intense
review
Fermento - Acts of Blood

These veterans are still worthy of being heard, and this excellent release is a Death/Black Metal 'muts have' item.
review
Path to Purgatory - Pathos
August 27, 2025
Wow, what great mix between Melodic Death Metal, Melodic Black Metal and more is offered by this Portuguese quartet!
review
Wings of Steel - We Rise (single)
August 24, 2025
A beautiful girl can give you a wink and a smile and get labeled a “tease”, well WINGS OF STEEL is that beautiful girl, and their “tease” is the release of the second song/video off their highly anticipated album. The big difference is that I never got a date with that beautiful girl, but I will get a date with the new album “Winds of Time” set for -self-release on October 15.
review
Day of the Jackal - One More Shot
