Fandens Kall
by Tulus

The creative minds behind Tulus, Khold, and Sarke have been on fire the last few years, releasing quite a bit of material that is up there with some of the best in their discography.

Polymoon- Chrysalis (Album Review) Feb. 16, 2023

Chrysalis (2023)
by Polymoon

Polymoon blew me away with their blend of psychedelic and progressive rock in 2020, as their debut Caterpillars of Creation offered lush, warm textures alongside roaring layers of distortion that provided a bit more urgency and weight than some of their peers. They were a welcome addition to the eve...

See You Next Tuesday- Distractions (Album Review) Feb. 15, 2023

Distractions
by See You Next Tuesday

Back in the days of Myspace and other defunct social media, deathcore and metalcore bands were flooding the marketplace and often trying to outdo each other when it came to extremity in both musical style and lyrical content. If you look back to those years youll find plenty of albums with extremely...

Hexer- Abyssal (Album Review) Feb. 14, 2023

Abyssal (2023)
by Hexer

Hexers evolution has been fascinating to unpack over the course of their nine-year career. The Dortmund, Germany based doom/sludge band started off playing slow, methodical material on 2017s Cosmic Doom Ritual with bursts of psychedelic atmosphere and more violent outbursts. By 2020s Realm of the Fe...

by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs

Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs (who I will be referring to as Pigs x7 from now on) has been creating loud, lumbering riffs for over a decade now, capturing the familiar swagger and weight of Black Sabbath alongside the weirdness of Melvins.

Klone- Meanwhile (Album Review) Feb. 10, 2023

Meanwhile
by Klone

Despite a lengthy discography and a twenty-four year career, French progressive rock/metal band Klone has been one of those artists that have often flown under the radar. Thats started to change in recent years with the expansion of their melodic and lush soundscapes and signing to Kscope, who relea...

Atomwinter- Sakrileg (Album Review) Feb. 8, 2023

Sakrileg
by Atomwinter

German death metal band Atomwinter has been putting their own spin on murky death metal with some death/doom leanings for the better part of thirteen years, and while theyve been consistent in the past, Ive often remembered them more for their unique cover art and mascot character. I mean seriously,...

As I enter my eighteenth year of reviewing music, one of the best parts remains discovering new bands and rediscovering those that had fallen off my radar or been silent for some time.

Irish sludge/post metal band Raum Kingdom has been around for close to a decade, having released their first EP in 2014 before their full-length debut Everything Nothing finally surfaced in 2018.

Malleus- The Fires of Heaven (Album Review) Jan. 30, 2023

The Fires of Heaven
by Malleus

Scorching black/thrash and black metal that recalls the genres formative years is always welcome in my book, and this is what Boston based Malleus brings to the table with their debut full-length The Fires of Heaven. The group has been refining their ideas for several years now, having put out EPs i...

Sonic Poison- Eruption (Album Review) Jan. 26, 2023

Eruption
by Sonic Poison

Sonic Poison seems like an appropriate name for a band thats trying to hit listeners with as much noise, grime, and speed as they can, and thats exactly what makes their debut full-length Eruption so appealing throughout its brief twenty-to minute run time. Despite this being the first long play fro...

Wuodan’s Wunde- Es glimmt empor aus ewger Nacht (Album Review) Jan. 25, 2023

Es glimmt empor aus ewger Nacht
by Wuodan's Wunde

The rawer and lo-fi side of black metal has a lot to offer for those willing to dive beneath the layers of noise and murkier, sometimes washed-out layers. Over the past two decades there have been plenty of bands exploring the harsher and atmospheric side of the genre that had some real substance be...

Anachronism- Meanders (Album Review) Jan. 24, 2023

Meanders
by Anachronism

Switzerlands Anachronism started off more on the technical side of the death metal spectrum back in 2009, but over time theyve transformed into something much closer to the progressive and dissonant side.
