Album Reviews

Channeling vibes reminiscent of Stratovarius and HammerFall, Bloodbound’s ‘Field of Swords’ is polished and driven yet leaves mixed impressions, out with Napalm Records. Catch them live at festivals in Europe this summer like Alcatraz!

Paleface Swiss started the new year properly with the release of their EP ‘The Wilted’. More emotional, more brutal, showing different sides of a band that is going places right now!

“Dissonance Theory” is incredibly dynamic where the songs are packed with grooves and technical riffing steeped in the aesthetics of Coroner’s sonic formula. This is a great comeback album from one of Switzerland’s best acts. Out since October 17th via Century Media Records! Catch them in the summer of 2026 at European festivals like Alcatraz Festival!

Carach Angren’s new EP “Cult of Kariba” is crafted through enthralling aggression and brutal galvanic percussive tempos.
