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
Häxär - Teufelskult
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.
review
Behind Bars - As I Wait For Death
September 17, 2025
What BEHIND BARS brings to the turntable is over 17 minutes of very enjoyable music that does fit in the Groovy Thrash Hardcore Metal category, so Metalheads as well as Hardcore fans will be able to go crazy when they listen to BEHIND BARS.
review
Jord – Emellan Träden
September 2, 2025
With “Emellan Träden,” JORD maintains the momentum and trajectory they established with their 2023 “Tundra.” This might be their best to date.
review
Black Moon Cult – Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig)
August 26, 2025
Black Moon Cult’s "Ophidian Future (The Children of Yig)" is a trip well worth the price of admission.
review
Aganoor – Doomerism
August 17, 2025
It's hard to believe this is the first album from AGANOOR—they sound like seasoned veterans of the forever metal psychic wars.
review
Sadistic Goatmessiah - Violence
August 11, 2025
Highly enjoyable this one. The band name and the album cover pretty much say it all. This is unadulterated raw, fundamental Black and Thrash the way that Satan meant it to be.
review
Solace - Further
August 11, 2025
If “Further” were to drop today as a brand-new album it would undoubtedly be heralded as one of best albums of 2025. As reissue, it could still hold that honor.
review
Naevus – Back Home
August 4, 2025
“Back Home” is a helluva album by a helluva a band. A must-have for Stoner Doom fans.
review
Nada - Entropia
July 28, 2025
Entropia is a scathing critique wrapped up in scathing riffs.
review
Margantha – Blood Moon Sacrifice
July 21, 2025
MARGANTHA, Black Metal trio from Finland and Italy, mix two of my favorite things with their debut EP, “Blood Moon Sacrifice”—Black Metal and horror.
review
Killjoy – Dream and Violence
July 7, 2025
Personally, I’d count this as a demo.
review
Eternal Dissonance – Through the Endless
June 30, 2025
If you need a distraction from the world by, say, contemplating the bleak sameness of the never-ending void, “Through the Endless” might do you some good.
review
King Potenaz – Arcane Desert Ritual Vol. 1
June 23, 2025
KING POTENAZ serves up a powerful storm of Psych Doom with “Arcane Desert Ritual Vol. 1.” More great Psych Doom coming out of Italy. No one should be surprised; everyone should be thrilled.
review
Skräcken – Echoes from the Void
June 15, 2025
“Echoes from the Void” bears repeating. A lot. Sofie-Lee’s vocals are spectacular, and the band is extremely tight.
review
Morbyda – Under the Spell
June 15, 2025
MORBYDA’s debut “Under the Spell” blends the raw energy and anger of betrayed youth with the evil machinations of an exterminating angel.
review
Domkraft - Domkraft
June 9, 2025
DOMKRAFT, “Doomkraft.” If you missed their debut in 2015, you get a second chance in 2025. Nothing like being ten years late for the party . . . but in the metalsphere there never really is such a thing as being too late.
review
Spider Kitten – The Truth is Caustic to Love
June 9, 2025
What the hell is a spider kitten? And if you saw one, would you try to pick it up or run in abject horror? Like its namesake, SPIDER KITTEN is a hard band to get into and a hard band to walk away from.
review
Helheim – Blod & Ild
June 2, 2025
"Blod & Ild" got a lot of attention when it first came out, and deservedly so. Whether you somehow get hold of the vinyl before it’s gone or you just download the digital like the rest of mortals, it’s still a hell of an album.
review
Solfatare – Asservis par l’espoir
May 26, 2025
Hope is an illusion that enslaves us to small-minded ideas and conspires to charm us into our own damnation. Got it. Check. Also, “Asservis par l’espoir” is fucking savage. So, yay despair.
