Album Reviews

French black/death metal band Necrowretch returns with another blasphemous album. Their fifth album “Swords of Dajjal” is fast and hellish and arguably the band’s best offering to date, out since last Friday via Season of Mist.

Long-standing French death metal act Catacomb offers a firm mixture of Lovecraftian style of death metal and dark archaic atmosphere on their first full-length album “When the Stars Are Right”. The coherence and songwriting shine through the intense sonic displays of the instruments, out via Xtreem Music!

Ten56. released ‘Downer part.2’, filled with songs that have a metalcore sound with rap influences similar to Landmvrks. 20 years ago we had nu metal, and now we have something you could call the “nu metalcore” sound, a progression that most definitely will have its own share of fans. Released via Out of Line Music!

French, atmospheric black metal Avant-Garde collective Blut Aus Nord returns with their 14th opus ‘Disharmonium – Undreamable Abysses’, out via Debemur Morti Productions on May the 20th.

French metal outfit Dagoba delivers with ‘By Night’ an album that very well might be the next step in their career and a schooling in modern metal! A furious blend of metal, electronic elements and neck breaking moves.

‘Chamanes’ is Lůn’s first EP. This neofolk/shamanic/neoclassical band formed by Mayline Gautié is really something to keep your eye on.

French heavy metal about strong women in medieval tales. En garde!

‘Ascension’ constitutes the third and final arc of the tryptich that Regarde Les Hommes Tomber started with their self-titled debut album nearly 7 years ago.

In need of some technically typically djent. These French dudes from Kadinja are bringing us some technically djent that can compete with their bigger brothers in the genre.

Gorod releases their magnus opus: Æthra.
