Agabas - Hard Anger Deluxe
March 10, 2026
my Agabas-induced paracusias is acting up again.
review
Black Idol - Woes Are Legion
March 9, 2026
I am quite a lapidarist when it comes to the musical jewels of Serbia.
review
Insipidus - Nearest Dusk
March 8, 2026
I'm not trying to sabotage this review by completely diverting the subject, but I fucking hate AI.
review
Moon Tooth - Bastard EP
March 7, 2026
Just like smoking your first cigarette (don't do that, by the way), my first experience with Moon Tooth left me periodically satisfied. The alt-prog sensibilities grabbed me, but unlike the aftermath of a smoke, I never got hooked, and I virtually never listened to the Long Island league again.
review
Grey Skies over Rapture - Kings
March 7, 2026
Just be happy I broke 350 words with a three-song EP.
review
Luminesce - Like Crushed Violets and Linen
March 5, 2026
Pink? A pink album cover? Isn't pink... for girls??/?
review
Abstracted – Hiraeth
March 3, 2026
“Hiraeth” is beautiful, well balanced, but also with enough unsuspecting turns and breaks that every time you listen you can’t help but discover and/or hear something that you hadn’t noticed before. That to me makes a record a diamond in the rough, as you just don’t have a clue when the explorations will be complete.
review
Tardigrade Inferno – Hush
March 2, 2026
“Hush” is a melting point of different genres and vibes, including progressive Metal, Groove Metal, but there are also a few Punk and Alt-Metal vibes present
review
Cryptic Shift - Overspace & Supertime
March 1, 2026
I have no choice but to be amazed, enthralled and totally enamoured with what CRYPTIC SHIFT is presenting me with on “Overspace & Supertime”. To me this all sounds absolutely superb, has all the elements that make me crave to hear more of CRYPTIC SHIFT; excitement, surprise, attraction and superb musicianship.
review
Toward The Throne - Midnight
February 28, 2026
For homework, go read Dune or some other popular space novel with this playing in the background, and write a five-paragraph essay on your thoughts.
review
Sypsis - Annihilated Existence
February 27, 2026
I am enamoured with the results of what i have been hearing while I have been listening to “Annihilated Existence” time and time again, and have no qualms into proclaiming this to be a treasured album.
review
Fox Paradox - Echoes Of The Hunt
February 26, 2026
When I picture a pizza, I envision a couple of different toppings and a nice, consistent dough. Hopefully, this LP is like a pizza: a couple of different toppings (genres), but a consistent underlying theme (dough). I'm very hungry, if you couldn't tell.
review
Godoviir - Artificial Dream
February 23, 2026
I've listened to a lot of progressive rock and metal over the years, and while "ARTIFICIAL DREAM" didn't have the WOW! factor to really make an impression on me to stick with me forever, I adore the messages brought by Igor and GODOVIIR.
review
Falchi - Solace
February 23, 2026
These instrumental progressive metal artists seem to have formed a tight-knit community with their colorful album covers and relentless shredding.
review
Warp Rite - Of Blissful Strife
February 22, 2026
I like the idea of "Of Blissful Strife," but I don't really like "Of Blissful Strife."
review
holotropic - individual
February 22, 2026
It's a different kind of adrenaline rush I get when I see a band cite a philosophical work at the bottom of a lyric sheet.
review
Stam1na - Apnea
February 21, 2026
I may sound like a Finnish weeb here, but Stam1na is just another reason why Finland is the capital of metal.
review
Soul of Anubis - Ritual
February 21, 2026
I'd really like to see Soul of Anubis tap deeper into their progressive minds and put forth another brutal album, this time with more variation.
review
Karnivool – In Verses
February 7, 2026
The thing is, if you never have heard anything of KARNIVOOL before, you’re in for a real treat. So much so that you undoubtedly will be checking their musical history asap. If you already know about the band, you’ll be ready to be amazed once again.
review
Mother Crone - Inner Keep
February 4, 2026
There is no way in Heaven or Hell that I can’t NOT like what MOTHER CRONE is offering me on “Inner Keep”, as the songs are all of a very high standard, have all the right ingredients to sound amazing. Proper introductions, solid foundations, hard edged bodies and fitting endings.
review
Borrower – Killerdemons
February 3, 2026
BORROWER and their record companies Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records state on the EPK that they play Progressive Metal, and I’ll admit that this genre is part of their sound, but I need to add a bit of Alternative Rock, a bit of Sludge and a smidgeon of Industrial as well.
review
Defecto - Echoes Of Isolation
January 25, 2026
I do feel that the music that DEFECTO plays on “Echoes Of Isolation” has all the hallmarks of a band that is letting loose, giving it their all. I therefore have to admit that for the first time in 2026, I am smitten. What a brilliant treat this is.
review
HyperioN - Cybergenesis
January 7, 2026
HYPERION isn’t the next band to take over the world, but they are a band that has the ability to please and entertain a lot of (mostly) old fashioned Metal fans with the music they have provided us with on “Cybergenesis”. And because they have been able to provide the record with a very clear, transparent, but above all contemporary sound, a lot of the young Metal afficionados might be quite willing to not only give this a go, but also their sign of approval.
review
Paragon - Heed The Prophecy (Reissue)
December 16, 2025
PARAGON is an American band from Springfield in Ohio. These guys only existed from 1987 until 1992/1993, of that no one is exactly sure. In those times they played pure Melodic Progressive US Metal. Apparently, they wanted to sound like some of the big US Progressive Metal bands.
review
DarkTribe - Forgotten Reveries
December 7, 2025
Clean vocals? Boo-hoo. This is METAL.
review
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.
review
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.
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
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.
