review
Ravenspell – Obsidian King
March 24, 2026
With a name like RAVENSPELL I thought this was going to be a Symphonic Metal band. They ended up being more in the CIRITH UNGOL tradition, which is even better.
review
Necrosexual – Road to Rubble
March 24, 2026
Very middle of the road as far as intensity and maybe a bit over the top with the performative essence of it. Felt like an amped up Beetlejuice.
review
Midryasi’s Kult – Italian Dark Sound
March 16, 2026
“Italian Dark Sound” holds together fairly well, and while it wasn’t terribly diverse it does have a few unexpected twists.
review
Azken Auzi – Infernau
March 16, 2026
If you’re already invested in doom, you won’t lose anything with this one and, in fact, may have plenty to gain.
review
Venthiax – Rites of Ra
March 10, 2026
“Rites of Ra” is as brutal as it is fast, reminiscent of the 80’s though as relevant to our day and age as ever.
review
King Heavy – Atlantic Reborn
March 10, 2026
For existing KING HEAVY fans, “Atlantic Reborn” provides a unique perspective into the band’s past with rare cuts; for new fans it offers a snapshot from each album.
interview
“We want it to be darker and heavier all the time.” Nils Ahnland, New Mexican Doom Cult
March 6, 2026
Just to be clear, NEW MEXICAN DOOM CULT is neither from New Mexico nor are they Mexican. They are in fact based in Gävle, Sweden which would also make them, uhm, Swedish. On January 23, 2026, they released their second full-length album, Ziggurat, via Majestic Mountain Records. In early March, Gary Hernandez, writer/editor with Metal Temple, caught up with Nils Ahnland, vocalist and guitarist, to discuss everything from the band’s origins to ancient Egypt to some background details on several of the tracks.
review
New Mexican Doom Cult – Ziggurat
March 2, 2026
NEW MEXICAN DOOM CULT “Ziggurat." Buy it, ascend it, join it—whatever turns you on, but do yourself a favor and give it spin.
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
Frozen Factory - Apocalypse Inc
February 3, 2026
The eclectic mix of styles and musical directions actually works on “Apocalypse Inc”, the fourth album by FROZEN FACTORY. Somehow, they have adopted the ability to make all the different angles come together in a way that the blending is almost unnoticeable, but still very much present when you really take a listen.
review
Goatsmoker – E.R.I.S.
February 2, 2026
GOATSMOKER is the perfect name for this band and “E.R.I.S.” is a perfect reliquary of their latest collection bitumen-soaked Doom.
review
Meteora - Dissonance
January 26, 2026
“Dissonance” is a satisfying final installment to the “Darkest Light” trilogy.
review
Kaunis Kuolematon – Kun Valo Minussa Kuoli
January 26, 2026
I have to believe KAUNIS KUOLEMATON is at the forefront of the Finnish metal scene, a position they certainly deserve as evidenced by “Kun Valo Minussa Kuoli.”
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
Aittala – Ill-Gotten Gains
January 12, 2026
“Ill-Gotten Gains” is an EP for our times.
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
Breath - Brahman
December 29, 2025
If slow jam Doom is your thing, then you’ll probably like this album.
review
Edenbridge – Set The Dark On Fire
December 22, 2025
I am hesitant to call "Set The Dark On Fire" their best album ever, but it just might be.
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
Skogskult - Skogskult
December 9, 2025
A lot of notable extreme metal, Doom and otherwise, comes out of Umeå. SKOGSKULT keeps up the tradition with their debut album.
review
Goatfather – House of the Rising Smoke
December 9, 2025
A smoking pillar of fuzz-infused and psych-inspired tunage.
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
Malota - Scapegoat
November 24, 2025
They start here and end there, they twist and they parry and they pivot, defying expectations and mocking songwriting norms.
review
Cosmic Reaper – Bleed the Wicked, Drown the Damned
November 24, 2025
COSMIC REAPER has stomped out a trail of infernal psych doom with “Bleed the Wicked, Drown the Damned.”
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
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
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.
interview
"A lot of metal musicians are just nerds who love reading." – Sam Graff, AGENBITE MISERY
October 23, 2025
AGENBITE MISERY hails from New Hampshire. In February 2026, the band will be releasing their debut album, "Remorse of Conscience." The album is an experimental metal interpretation of "Ulysses" by James Joyce. This month Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, was able to catch up with Sam Graff (guitars, vocals, synth) to discuss the some deeper details about the band, their aspirations, and their upcoming album as well as the curious link between literature and metal.
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.
