In Virtue - Age of Legends

November 10, 2025

I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by the music that is on offer, but also at the quality at what IN VIRTUE is capable of delivering.

Unprocessed – Angel

October 30, 2025

I genuinely thought they wouldn’t be able to better “...And Everything In Between”, but they have. UNPROCESSED have produced my album of the year with “Angel”. I dare anyone to make me listen to anything more impressive than this.

"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.

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.

review

Born Divided - Chronicle Of A Shipwreck

September 29, 2025

It doesn’t matter whether BORN DIVIDED plays fast and furious, slow and deliberate or is hovering somewhere in between, everything on “Chronicle Of A Shipwreck” is as it should be.

review

Hatred's Rise - Echoes Of The Machine

September 20, 2025

HATRED’S RISE has a hell of a sound, but most of all is comprised by a group of very good and experienced players.

review

Wheel Of Time – Asymmetry

September 11, 2025

Progressive Metal of this high calibre and quality needs to be heard by every Prog enthusiast, but also by every Melodic afficionado. The songs are all bloody brilliant, to say the least. The production is clear and transparent, but also very clean. It means that although this is Progressive Metal, the ProgRock fan should also be able to enjoy what WHEEL OF TIME is offering on “Asymmetry”.

review

Species – Changelings

September 11, 2025

There is no two ways about it; this is good. Musically you just can’t fault SPECIES on “Changelings”. They have their brand of Progressive/Technical Thrash/Death Metal down like a pro.

review

Vintersorg - Vattenkrafternas Spel

September 5, 2025

What Vintersorg always had a good knack for is writing good songs that really fit what he is trying to say. And I can tell you that on “Vattenkrafternas Spel” he has been able to do that once again, giving VINERSORG another strong piece of slab with which they hopefully be able to conquer even more souls than they have until now.

review

Turian - Blood Quantum Blues

June 30, 2025

What the hell am I listening to right now? Yes, I know it is a band called TURIAN, a Seattle band that makes Metal Hardcore mixed with Noise Rock. I also know that “Blood Quantum Blues” is their fourth release, and according to their Bandcamp site the first one where they really feel free.

review

Hexenhaus - Awakening (Reissue)

May 14, 2025

“Awakening” is the only one of the three rereleases that is benefitting from an extra song, knowingly the demo version of the title track “Awakening”. Was that necessary? Not really. Is it a nice touch? Yes, definitely.

review

Hexenhaus - The Edge Of Eternity (Reissue)

May 14, 2025

“The Edge Of Eternity” actually was the second album for the band. Originally released on 1 November 1990, while this one hit the streets on 16 may 2025. It houses a lot more Thrash influences than the debut album, making it just that tad less impressive for me. But the music that HEXENHAUS plays still is Progressive Metal with Thrash and (this time less) Heavy Metal parts to complete the sound.

review

Hexenhaus - A Tribute To Insanity (Reissue)

May 14, 2025

A Tribute To Insanity” actually was the debut album for the band. Originally released on 17 October 1988, while this one hit the streets on 16 may 2025. It immediately starts with the kind of music that defines HEXENHAUS; Progressive Heavy/Thrash Metal. If you need a reference, think a less extreme version of MEKONG DELTA mixed with snippets of OVERKILL and early METAL CHURCH.

review

As Dramatic Homage - Symbolic

April 24, 2025

review

Sepulchre by the Sea - Seven Chambers

September 30, 2024

While “Seven Chambers,” certainly isn’t a bad album, it is one that I just couldn’t find a firm grasp to hold on to. There is plenty of talent here and someone else may enjoy it far more than me. I look forward to their next album, despite my misgivings on this one.

review

Evilyn - Mondestrunken

September 23, 2024

EVILYN’s “Mondestrunken,” is a journey into madness that will appeal to anyone who likes music that steps outside the box but also one that even the most ardent fans of death metal will enjoy.

review

Simone Simons – Vermillion

September 22, 2024

I did not expect anything less than excellence from Simone Simons debut album and I got what I expected. “Vermillion” is pure quality!

review

The Flight of Sleipnir – Nature’s Cadence

September 16, 2024

review

Drift Into Black - Voices Beneath The Rubble

June 28, 2024

All in all, DRIFT INTO BLACK have outdone themselves with “Voices Beneath The Rubble.” With every album, I feel they are getting closer and closer to releasing a masterpiece. This album has brought them to the edge and I can’t wait to take the plunge with them.

Venus - Obscured Until Observed

February 25, 2024

I often forget how Greece has an amazing underground Metal scene, with countless bands ranging from Thrash to Black Metal. Among these bands trying to get their name out there is VENUS: a Progressive/Thrash Metal duo consisting of guitarists Giorgis Verginis and Antonis Avtzis.

review

Ghosts of Atlantis - Riddle of the Sycophants

November 30, 2023

All in all, “Riddles of the Sycophants” certainly isn't a bad album in any particular way but it also isn’t one that I found to be very memorable or exciting.

review
