Teramaze - Eli: A Wonderful Fall From Grace
|
After 5 albums in a bit over 3 years, Teramaze waited 18 months before releasing their next effort; it’s hardly a long wait, but it might have been just long enough to recalibrate and get back on form. Read more ›› |

Unaussprechlichen Kulten - Häxan Sabaoth
|
As the hellish artwork (inspired by the 1922 movie Häxan) suggests, Unaussprechlichen Kulten perform witchcraft, for that is the only way they could have released one of the densest death metal albums of this year, with a bazillion riffs and solos per minute. Read more ›› |

Demande À La Poussière - Kintsugi

Blood Stain Child - Cyberia
|
The whole ‘releasing a double album/releasing two albums that each focus on a different aspect of a band’s sound’ concept is one that’s had contrasting outcomes across the history of metal.

Venomous Echoes - Split Formations And Infinite Mania
|
With Ben Vanweelden’s Venomous Echoes, I’m somewhat reminded of what we said about Primitive Man when they dropped Scorn back in 2013. That, given the nature of the music, the band name could simply not be more fitting. Read more ›› |

Ufomammut - Hidden
|
Hidden marks 25 years of psychedelic stoner doom from Ufomammut, and they remain as thunderously heavy yet mesmerizingly astral as ever. Read more ›› |

Wheel - Charismatic Leaders
|
Resident Human saw Wheel begin to establish an identity outside of Tool worship. On Charismatic Leaders, the band are now getting closer to landing upon a sound recognizable as their own. Read more ›› |

Bossk - .4
|
When Bossk released their rather petite sophomore album Migration in 2021, it was rumoured that this was just the first of several new records in the immediate pipeline. As it is, the first release from Bossk since Migration turned out to be something a bit different. Read more ›› |
