Black Label Society

Engines of Demolition

A weary, plodging trek through familiar territory that fails to ignite the spark of true heavy metal fire.

Imperial Age

New World

Imperial Age deliver a flawless symphonic-metal monument, but the music is almost incidental beside Alexander Osipov’s catastrophic handsomeness.

August Burns Red

Season of Surrender

A polished, technically proficient slab of metalcore that prioritises precision over raw danger.

REXORIA

Fallen Dimension

A haunting, atmospheric journey through melodic heavy metal that balances crushing weight with ethereal beauty.

Memoremains

Toxic Devotion

A polished, if somewhat safe, foray into pop metal that prioritises glossy production over raw grit.

Stryper Unveil 'Ashes To Roses' Lyric Video Ahead of New Album

Christian metal pioneers STRYPER have released a new lyric video for the melodic track 'Ashes To Roses'.

Hulkoff

Jotunheim

Hulkoff deliver a towering, frost-bitten masterpiece that cements their status as titans of the modern metal scene.

Megadeth

Megadeth

Megadeth’s latest effort is a lukewarm, identity-muddled slog that fails to ignite the spark of their thrasher roots.

Armored Saint Unleash Heavyweight Set in Lund

A fan-filmed video captures Armored Saint's blistering performance in Sweden as they support Testament.

Rotting Christ

Aealo

A bloated, self-indulgent odyssey that mistakes cavernous production for depth and gothic grandiosity for actual substance.

Neurosis

An Undying Love for a Burning World

A bloated, directionless slog that trades the band's signature primal danger for tepid atmospheric filler.

Warkings

Armageddon

Warkings deliver a competent, if somewhat predictable, slab of folk-infused metal on their latest Napalm release.
