RONKER- Respect The Hustle, I Won't Be Your Dog Forever (Album Review) Jan. 27, 2026

Respect The Hustle, I Won't Be Your Dog Forever
by RONKER

Belgiums RONKER have dubbed themselves speednoise, a categorization that reflects some of their emphasis on faster tempos and riffs that often blur the line between noise rock, hardcore, and even post punk. Their 2024 debut Fear Is A Funny Thing, Now Smile Like A Big Boy changed gears often, moving ...

Poppy- Empty Hands (Album Review) Jan. 26, 2026

Empty Hands
by Poppy

Poppys transformation over the past decade or so has been fascinating to follow. She originally gained notoriety for her YouTube channel where the videos had a more surreal and satirical slant to them, later going on to launch a music career in 2014. That career has seen shifts between a wide range ...

Megadeth- Megadeth (Album Review) Jan. 23, 2026

Megadeth
by Megadeth

Megadeths forty-three-year career has been filled with highs and lows, but theres no denying their influence on thrash and heavy metal. The band has been on an upward trajectory once again in recent years thanks to 2016s Dystopia and 2022s The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead! showing that this era s...

SOEN- Reliance (Album Review) Jan. 14, 2026

Reliance
by SOEN

Swedens SOEN has been a regular face in progressive/alternative metal since releasing their debut full-length Cognitive back in 2012. Early on the group resembled both Tool and the metal side of Opeth while also channeling plenty of progressive rock. The comparisons to the latter made sense given fo...

Lower Definition- The Purpose of the Moon Jan. 12, 2026

The Purpose of the Moon
by Lower Definition

The past four to five years has seen a lot of comebacks from bands that have been disbanded for quite some time, often spurred on by anniversary shows celebrating a particular album or EP from their discography. One of the latest artists to emerge from an extended period of hibernation is San Diego ...

Blood of the Wolf- V:Indomitable (Album Review) Jan. 9, 2026

V:Indomitable
by Blood of the Wolf

Chicagos Blood of the Wolf has been putting out blackened death metal thats capable of steamrolling everything in its path for over a decade now, and theyve been refining and tweaking their approach with each release. On their latest full-length V: Indomitablethe group has retained their blackened e...

Your Inland Empire- Your Inland Empire (Album Review) Jan. 7, 2026

Your Inland Empire
by Your Inland Empire

When Frances CROWN returned in 2021 with The End of All Things after a six-year absence, their sound had transformed significantly. The bands first two efforts had been heavily rooted in sludge and doom with industrial undertones, but this third album moved away from much of the metal in favor of da...

The Ruins of Beverast- Tempelschlaf (Album Review) Jan. 6, 2026

Tempelschlaf
by The Ruins of Beverast

As The Ruins of Beverast enters its twenty-third year of existence, Alexander von Meilenwalds musical outlet continues to evolve. 2021s The Thule Grimoires felt like a dip further into gothic and post punk territory without losing the immense black metal and doom foundation, and while it was an albu...

Burning Death- Burning Death (Album Review) Jan. 5, 2026

Burning Death
by Burning Death

Hailing from the country music capital of Nashville, Tennessee, Burning Death showcases there is just as much room in that city for scorching thrash and other variants of metal that take listeners back a few decades. With members of death metal band Act of Impalement in their ranks, Burning Death tu...

Sex Dwarf- Påhittad Värld (Album Review) Jan. 2, 2026

Påhittad Värld
by Sex Dwarf

When it comes to noisy punk and hardcore, Sweden has just as many noteworthy bands as the likes of Japan and other parts of Europe. Around the early 2010s there was a surge of newcomers that each added their own take on things, whether it was the D-beat and heavy metal slant of 偏執症者Paranoid or the s...

Nemorous- What Remains When Hope Has Failed (Album Review) Dec. 31, 2025

What Remains When Hope Has Failed
by Nemorous

Nemorous debut full-length has been a long time coming, and that anticipation has been built off both the success of their 2021 EP and legacy from Wodensthrone, which many of their members played in prior to its 2016 disbandment. Where Wodensthrone had a noticeable aggressive and pagan slant, Nemoro...

Cult Member- Gore (Album Review) Dec. 26, 2025

Gore (2025)
by Cult Member

We already have a band called Cult Leader, so why not Cult Member? The latter is a fairly new addition to the world of crossover thrash, having formed in 2020, but they already have an EP and two full lengths under their belt. The most recent is Gore, a nine track, twenty-minute onslaught that spend...

Struck A Nerve- Struck A Nerve (Album Review) Dec. 24, 2025

Struck A Nerve
by Struck A Nerve

Struck A Nerve may be a new band in the UK thrash scene but considering that three of their four members have been involved with Shrapnel at different points it makes sense that the material that makes up their self-titled debut is more potent and fully formed than most newcomers. Where Shrapnel vee...

Occult Kenji- Of Gods and Ancestors (Album Review) Dec. 17, 2025

Of Gods and Ancestors
by Occult Kenji

Occult Kenji is the solo project of Cyprus based musician/vocalist Marios "Kenji" Michaelides, who has been a part of bands such as Daggr and MethysOs. Where MethysOs went for more of a folk/symphonic metal approach, Kenjis solo project explores a wide range of metal and rock styles that span everyt...

Nexion- Sundrung (Album Review) Dec. 16, 2025

Sundrung
by Nexion

Nexion emerged in the mid-2010s as one of the newer faces in the Icelandic black metal scenes, but they quickly made it clear that they had a sound of their own. 2017s self-titled EP and 2020s Seven Oracles showcased a band that took just as many elements of death metal as they did dissonant black m...
