Album Reviews
Canada’s melodeath mainstays Kataklysm are back with another banger of an album, not leaving a place in the world “Unconquered”!
New Jersey melodeath masters Hath re-released their 2015 EP with a few bonus features.
“Despicable” is overtly melodic, well-executed, and ridiculously enjoyable this is certainly a solid release by Carcass.
Russia is often forgotten when it comes to metal, but here is Drops of Heart to remind us of the contrary.
“Sermon of Apathy” is a very intense album but less extreme when compared to other modern death metal bands. Perhaps the lack of the album production is the only flaw of the album, otherwise, there’s nothing to complain here.
Though the original hunter gatherers are of the past, Avatar’s Hunter Gatherer is a product of the future and it’s here to stay.
Tuomas Saukkonen’s Wolfheart brings the epic, desperate and dark tale of the Finnish Winter War to life with its signature “Winter metal” sound.
Re-Armed’s long awaited fourth album ‘Ignis Aeternum’ is here. Full of top melodic death metal tracks from Finland.
With new elements and looking back at early successes, Ensiferum created a new epic in their career and will be looked at as one of their best for sure!
The popular black metal group Belzebubs, who we know from the web series following their daily lives, finally release a proper album into the world!
