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.
review
Profane Elegy - Herezjarcha
October 13, 2025
“Herezjarcha” demonstrates a heightened level of songwriting and an impressive agility with shifts from the chaotic to the ordered. With an expanded lineup their trajectory has hit a serious upward inflection.
review
Agenbite Misery – Remorse of Conscience
October 13, 2025
An outstanding artifact of Blackened Experimental metal. Highly recommended to that not-so-rare intersection of literature geeks and metalheads.
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

October 6, 2025
“Teufelskult” is an impressive third offering from V Noir and his HÄXÄR project, a testimony to the depth of BM.
review
Glasya - Fear
October 6, 2025
GLAYSA has sealed their reputation amongst female-fronted Symphonic Metal bands with “Fear.”
review
Biohazard – Divided We Fall
October 3, 2025
And as far as I can determine, the compositions that you find on “Divided We Fall” is what I was hoping for on a new BIOHAZARD album. They stand out, they have form, they are hard hitting, direct and if you ask me bloody impressive.
review
Schreigarm – Mara Comes and Darkness Shall Reign
September 29, 2025
There are parts of “Mara Comes and Darkness Shall Reign” that positively terrify me, and other parts that just soothe the hell out of me (no pun intended).
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.
