New reviews

Sojourner - Gateways
Atmospheric black metal
Review by AndyMetalFreak
Sojourner have returned after 6 years in the dark; now they've opened a gateway to a new era that looks promising.
Trichomoniasis - Containment Facility
Avantgarde metal, Brutal death metal
Review by Roman Doez
The ultimate act of symbiosis between noise music and brutal death metal.
Truck Violence - The Weathervane Is My Body
Post-Hardcore, Noise rock
Review by AndyMetalFreak
With a band name like Truck Violence and an album titled The Weathervane Is My Body, you can expect something strange and original, and that's exactly what you have here.
The combination of ash from all those fiery volcanoes and icy cold winds blowing in from the Arctic seems to have created something in the Icelandic air for black metal to thrive the way it has been, and it's certainly been working wonders for Forsmán.
Everyone loves you when you're Death.
Portrayal Of Guilt - …Beginning Of The End
Screamo, Post hardcore, Sludge metal
Review by X-Ray Rod
Portrayal Of Guilt set a record in letting me know the frustrating vibe of …Beginning Of The End with just the intro. It’s a kaleidoscope of alternative '90s music pushed through an extreme metal filter. Great prospect, but my balls are beyond blue.
Khemmis - Khemmis
Doom metal
Review by omne metallum
Great khemistry, just need more consistency.
Yes, Japanese horror black metal is a thing, and it truly works.
