Two years after launching “Tether”, Of Mice And Men have delivered their latest studio effort, “Another Miracle”, which is the band’s first record to be released via Century Media. The first song the band launched was the title track. A massive metalcore smasher, built on a throbbing beat and huge riffs, as well as Aaron... Continue Reading →
Hailing from Kotka, Finland, Omnium Gatherum was formed almost three decades ago and has become one of the most important ambassadors of melodic death metal from Finland. Four years after releasing the “Origins” album, the band returns with their tenth studio effort, which has an unusually long title: “May the Bridges We Burn Light Us... Continue Reading →
The new Deez Nuts album, "Sausage", is a melting pot of hardcore, metal and rap. The Australian band's latest studio album features ten songs and follows the 2019 release “You Got Me Fucked Up”. In a way, “Sausage” continues the band's musical endeavour, even though the world has changed since 2019. This is not only... Continue Reading →
I think many metalheads didn’t expect a new album from Swiss metal icons Coroner. The band has played numerous live shows in recent years, including festival appearances and a North American tour. However, a new album is another matter entirely, and the idea of such a release seemed far-fetched. But sometimes fantasy becomes reality. A... Continue Reading →
Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, Sanguisugabogg was formed in 2009 by guitarist Cameron Boggs. Over the years the band evolved into one of the most important players in the brutal death metal genre. This is partly due to the band refining their sound from a rather primitive death metal blast to a more versatile form of... Continue Reading →
Deathcore specialsts Lorna Shore launch their new album “I Feel the Everblack Festering Within Me” today. The album is another musical blast, a monolith with massive intensity. Brutal and with racing speed the album hits listeners right into the face while the melodic and orchestral arrangements provide not only a counterpart but also add a... Continue Reading →
When it comes to technical thrash metal, Coroner is one of the trailblazers. The Swiss metal band released their debut album, "R.I.P.," in 1987, establishing themselves as masters of sophisticated thrash metal. "Grin" was Coroner's last studio album, released in 1993. More than 30 years later, the band returns with "Dissonance Theory," a comeback of... Continue Reading →
“Colossal” is the fourth album by Danish metallers Baest, and their most versatile to date. In fact, the five-piece band from Aarhus, Denmark, has added a solid dose of rock to their sound. Baest formed in 2015, and my first experience of the intense and savage nature of their music occurred when they supported Abbath... Continue Reading →
The Haunted are one of the veteran bands from Gothenburg that have contributed to a special sound coming out of Sweden's second largest city. Their sound incorporates the melodic death metal vibe of the early mid-90s, but The Haunted always had a solid portion of thrash metal integrated into their music. From their furious 1998...

Kanonenfieber is one of those bands that have grown slowly but steadily over the past few years. In just five years, the band has catapulted itself into the premier league of German extreme metal, and with "Menschenmühle" and "Die Urkatastrophe", two very good albums have hit the shelves. The debut album also caught the attention... Continue Reading →
There are only a few pioneer bands when it comes to metalcore from Germany. Heaven Shall Burn is one of them, as well as Caliban from Essen. The latter have a new album in the starting box with "Back from Hell" and as soon as the gates open it's the opener "Guilt Trip" that doesn't... Continue Reading →

New York City is not just the city that never sleeps. It is also a creative melting pot where all kinds of art and artists come from - from the MOMA to the Guggenheim Museum to a very vibrant rock and metal scene. Such an environment is perfect for a band like Imperial Triumphant to... Continue Reading →
"Helldorado" is the next chapter of a very interesting band. SpiritWorld is the name of the band founded by Stu Folsom, the inventor of death western metal. With two albums, SpiritWorld has accomplished a musical fusion that is as unusual as it is exciting for the listener. Like the previous two releases, "Helldorado" offers a... Continue Reading →
Same old. Same old. This could be the review for the new Arch Enemy release "Blood Dynasty". What might be a very positive thing for some might be a bit of a downer for others who might have expected some more edges from the band that belongs to the pioneers of melodic death metal. "Blood...
