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.
review
Enevelde - Pandemonium
May 26, 2025
Well, that was some fucked up evil shit.
review
Nightsteel – Nightsteel
May 11, 2025
NIGHTSTEEL offers up a solid slab of Power Metal with their self-titled debut. Fans of 80’s metal should be all over this one.
review
Ceresian Valot - Uumen
May 4, 2025
With strong songwriting, great production values, and impeccable execution, “Uumen” definitely lives into its title and goes deep.
review
Lord Vigo – Walk the Shadows
April 21, 2025
“Walk The Shadows” is an interesting artistic departure for LORD VIGO. I’m sure it will have its fair share of detractors but for those who are flexible enough, they may find it actually succeeds.
review
Desert Smoke – Desert Smoke
April 7, 2025
DESERT SMOKE, “Desert Smoke,” with or without the apostrophe, scores high on the Metal Temple scales. Well worth the time to check out.
review
Elusive God - Ambis
April 7, 2025
“Ambis” is a solid return for the ELUSIVE GOD who, with three original albums plus a live recording in seven years aren’t exactly elusive. Still, I could use more ELUSIVE GOD in my life.
review
Maison Dieu - Herbacea
March 30, 2025
Count me as a sucker for Italian female vocals and Stoner Psych trios. "Herbecae" is a stunning debut. Can’t wait to see what’s next from MAISON DIEU.
review
Sanhedrin – Heat Lightning
March 30, 2025
With “Heat Lightning,” SANHEDRIN once again takes up the banner of traditional metal and fights the good fight.
review
Old Skin – Wails of Ten Thousand
March 23, 2025
“Wails of Ten Thousand” is the most refined OLD SKIN has ever been both from the production angle as well as the songwriting angle, evolving from raw to visceral but still very much deeply embedded in the realm of brutality.
review
Evilon - Ginnungagap
March 23, 2025
EVILON has returned to the scene with a solid haul of Viking treasure. Fans of Viking and Folk are sure to enjoy as will followers of Melodic Death. Strongly recommended, this one. Skål to ya all.
review
Behexen – Beyond The Four Gates
March 16, 2025
"Beyond the Four Gates" offers a walk through the history of one of Finland’s most revered Black Metal bands, demonstrating their unholy trajectory from unknown to damned.
review
Thlipsis - Thlipsis
March 9, 2025
THLIPSIS’s self-titled debut offers a view of the band in their raw, unadulterated form four years ago. If you like 2025 THLIPSIS, you’re likely to appreciate 2021 THLIPSIS.
review
Belle Morte – Pearl Hunting
February 23, 2025
“Pearl Hunting” is eleven tracks of well-balanced Symph—sometimes haunting, sometimes visceral—which will make you feel classy, the way that Symph always does, and inherently evil, the way true metal should.
review
Plague of Stars - Extinction
February 23, 2025
WormHoleDeath has a knack for finding unsigned exceptional talent skulking around in the metalsphere and PLAGUE OF STARS is another one of them. “Extinction” is an excellent find for extreme metal fans who have a liking for dark Symph.
review
Nachash – Eschaton Magicks
February 16, 2025
"Eschaton Magicks" is as stately and dark as its cover—Death riding atop a skeleton horse flanked by skeleton, winged warriors, a suit of broken and empty armor at the horse’s hooves. Victory and death all on one image. A must have for extreme metalheads.
review
Necrodeath - Arimortis
February 16, 2025
"Arimortis" is the NECRODEATH’s 14th and last album—a perfect final power chord to mark the end of a stunning career.
review
Greh – Dysphoric Devotion
February 11, 2025
Dysphoric Devotion is a solid Blackened Death artifact. It doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. This is pure, unmitigated extreme metal with no flourishes or facades. Only serious metal fans need apply.
interview
“To quote Step Brothers, it just feels good 'to make beautiful music for a sad world.'" - Sami Wolf, Moon Wizard
January 26, 2025
Moon Wizard is a Stoner/Doom Metal out of Salt Lake City, Utah. After three independent albums the band caught the attention of Hammerheart Records who promptly signed the band and re-released their third album, "Sirens," in January 2025 to wide acclaim from Brazil to Sweden to Australia. Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, recently caught up with guitarist Aaron Brancheau and vocalist Sami Wolf to discuss the band’s origins, their evolution, and future plans.
review
Moon Wizard - Sirens
December 30, 2024
Pro tip for this album: Headphones are a must. And not that crappy pair that came with your phone—I’m talking noise-cancelling, over-the-ear bad boys that will immerse you in the liquid smoke that is MOON WIZARD.
review
Metal Riot – Birth of Terror
December 30, 2024
“Birth of Terror” is an eight-track scorcher that testifies to the band’s passion for creating distinctive metal.
review
Twisted Mist - Gehenna
December 15, 2024
I was a bit leery about Death Metal and Folk being mixed. The melodic tendencies of Death, however, make the pairing surprisingly compelling. “Gehenna” by TWISTED MIST. Strongly recommended for Pagans and Judeo-Christians alike.
review
Pandemic - Phantoms
December 15, 2024
“Phantoms” is a blast. There’s a bit of nod to early Thrash with a Hardcore Punk overlay, but the Blackened element took it over the top for me.
review
Distant Past – Solaris
December 2, 2024
Altogether I recommend this album on two fronts: First for giving true homage to an often-forgotten sci-fi pioneer; Second, for sticking to their mission of delivering solid metal recalling the glorious distant past.
review
Warpstormer - Warpstormer
November 25, 2024
While the cover, and even their monicker, suggest a fuzzed-out Stoner trip, what we get is a ripping Thrash attack underpinned with the down-tuned sensibilities of Doom. Think THE SWORD gone Thrash.
review
Veuve - Pole
November 18, 2024
“Pole” is one of those albums that somehow presents itself differently every time you listen to it. And if it strikes you like it did me, then you’ll be listening to it a lot.
review
The Great Old Ones – Kadath
November 18, 2024
Metalheads and metal artists tend to enjoy exploring obscure corners of the universe. THE GREAT OLD ONES and “Kadath” are perfect examples. Great stuff for metalheads who like their fiction the same way they like their metal—dark, heavy, and highly disturbing.
review
Arkon - Arkon
November 4, 2024
This band is awesome, and I am praying to the Sardanian gods of lore that they stay on course but speed things up a bit—in the studio, I mean—because I can’t wait another four years to hear another album from these bad asses.
review
Witchtrap – Hungry As The Beast
October 28, 2024
WITCHTRAP’s “Hungry As The Beast” is one of those unpretentious albums that doesn’t try to be something it isn’t. Just straightforward Speed Metal with little Blackened evil sprinkled on top to make it go down smooth. Highly recommended this one.
review
I, Cursed – Death Holograms
October 16, 2024
And I still don’t know what I’ve listened to, but I’m glad it’s over.
review
Warlust - Sol Invictus in Umbrae Satanae
October 14, 2024
“Sol Invictus in Umbrae Satanae” is probably WARLUST’s best produced, most refined, most melodic album to date but it still sounds visceral as fuck.

review
Worshipper – One Way Trip
September 23, 2024
“One Way Trip” is a mixed bag. WORSHIPPER is a good enough band, certainly, but not distinctive enough to really stand out in the metalsphere.
