Album Reviews

“Royal Destroyer” somehow embodies all that The Crown has achieved in the past with some impressive scathingly brutal tracks!

Cannibal Corpse’s fifteenth album is weighty and viscerally thrilling brought by high standards, the cohesive performance makes each song sound viciously aggressive.

Anaal Nathrakh is back with yet another release of their signature blend of several extreme metal genres!

LIK’s ‘Misanthropic Breed’ is extremely powerful with infectious grooves and the bulky riffs.

Retro electronics and modern heaviness are Master Boot Record’s strong suit. His latest release is none the lesser for it. Here is ‘Floppy Disk Overdrive’.

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!

‘Lamenting of the Innocent’ is extended to one hour and four minutes, ornamented profusely with clean guitar passages. This is why the new album feels diluted and less heavy than the prior releases.

“Forever Black” is full of epic riffs a bone-crushing old school heavy metal album. Cirith Ungol still remains as one of the main pillars of heavy metal.

The Black Dahlia Murder does on ‘Verminous’ what they are one of the best in: combining American death metal with Swedish melo death!

Neaera is back with their first album since getting back together in 2018 and it can definitely rival with their more old school so
