Album Reviews

Babylonfall releasing their debut “Collapse”. A melodic death metal piece of art with some doom metal influences
The Black Dahlia Murder does on ‘Verminous’ what they are one of the best in: combining American death metal with Swedish melo death!
Berzerker Legion is the epitome of what modern death metal music is all about. The album is a concoction of epic melodies, powerful grooves, and pure intensity.
The Agonist are back with another damn solid release that might catapult them into the higher regions of the metal world!
Have you heard? The king and his royal ensemble visited Paris last year. What king? The king of Avatar Country, of course!
On the 19th of April Allegaeon brought us their new record Apoptosis. A record with power, dynamics and change!
Hath made their debut record count big time. A diverse and dynamic record that contains nothing but suprises and amazing musicianship.
Obscure Infinity might have released their best album to date.
