HulderVerbolgen20 Buck SpinTo Be Released: August 7th, 2026 Rating: 9/10 “The urgency and the battle lust of previous efforts is still there, but the atmosphere is darker, the sense of the ancient and the medieval is far deeper and more pronounced. There is a caliginous sensation of sorrow, intertwined and tight to the point of drawing blood, that drapes the entire record.” –1 – Drie Raven…

SpeedslutCimbrian RitesListenable RecordsReleased: June 26th, 2026 Rating: 8/10 “But, through and through, this is pure speed metal; no leaning into thrash, no leaning into or mixing with other genres, and no waning in intensity. To live or die by the riff; Speedslut has this philosophy figured out.“ –1 – Pestridden Stallions2 – Asbestos Born Wrath3 – Dark Night Riders4 – Into the Grave5 – No…

MorgalThe Seventh CircleWerewolf RecordsReleased: June 26th, 2026 Rating: 8.5/10 “A compact listen, a brief intro track and six new cuts, totaling 32 minutes of nocturnal attack, there is no overstaying the welcome, as it moves in lethal manner, destroying soft target after soft target before descending back into the abyss.” –1 – Intro2 – Stormchaser3 – Tales of Woland4 – Goddess of Death5 –…

Non ServiamLa Lune Dont Mon Âme Est PleineLay Bare RecordingsReleased: June 12th, 2026 Rating: 8/10 “‘La Lune Dont Mon Âme Est Pleine’ is not an accessible album. It’s the soundtrack to jerking the steering wheel of your car into oncoming traffic and slamming head-on into some poor soul just trying to get to work. It is the call of the void, l’appel du vide, in the form of sound and mental…

Left to DieInitium MortisRelapse RecordsTo Be Released: July 17th, 2026 Rating: 8/10 “While there have been tribute acts such as Death to All and Symbolic, and even sonically adjacent acts such as Gruesome, Left to Die most closely resembles the fury and straight-forward assault of the earliest material of Mantas/Death. These tracks, a selection of ten sonic attacks, show the foundation of what…

Hecate EnthronedThe Corpse of a Titan, a Lament Long BuriedM-Theory AudioReleased: May 29th, 2026 Rating: 8.5/10 “…Hecate Enthroned sticks to their guns and they deliver an album that does deserve its fair bit of attention. It’s not theatrics, it’s not grandiose buffoonery, it’s not a gimmicky sound or tonality, these songs collectively hit hard, they’re steeped in radiate dynamics and, most…

FunebrarumBeckoning the Void of Eternal SilencePulverized RecordsReleased: May 29th, 2026 Rating: 9/10 “‘Beckoning the Void of Eternal Silence,’ even with the extensive downtime leading up to its release, is something out of sync with the modern metal scene, and it’s refreshing. Those wanting true old-school brutality, lengthy cuts of crushing death with tinges of doom, and the shuddering cold…

DesiccationLegatum MortuorumCarbonized RecordsTo Be Released: May 15th, 2026 Rating: 8/10 “‘Legatum Mortuorum’ is a monster of a record, but it doesn’t play into the tropes. There’s no high-tempo blasting, no shrill vocals, no constant fixation on riff repetition, each song has its own shade, its own color, and the way it moves from start to finish is where it becomes most captivating” –1 –…

TyrannusMournholdTrue Cult RecordsTo Be Released: May 15th, 2026 Rating: 8.5/10 “‘Mournhold’ vastly expands the sound Tyrannus has created up to this point, focusing less on the compact thrashier elements of previous releases, and moving into a more progressive and broadly expanded execution. Still thrashy, at times reaching intensity that could be considered death metal in character, and laden…

MolosserMolosserGutter Prince CabalTo Be Released: May 11th, 2026 Rating: 8.5/10 “The name and the cover artwork, no doubt, portray the sound of the band in a totally voiceless manner. Looking at the image, you know what happens next. There is no guesswork, no theatrical presentation, no flair, no fun. It’s a knife-to-the-stomach level of seriousness that teems with martial discipline and…

LividusScarabaeusNameless Grave RecordsReleased: April 14th, 2026 Rating: 8.5/10 “…Lividus cycle through bruised shades of modern technical death metal, grind, and heavy thrash. The vocal attack ranges from the operatic and angelic to the ugly and scowling, riffs run from discord to melody, drums are torrential and constant. Light against darkness, but destructive in intent, like firebombs…

Bringers of DiseaseSulphurDisorder RecordingsSo Below ProductionsReleased: April 24th, 2026 Rating: 8.5/10 “This is a veteran lineup. They compose like a veteran lineup. They sound like a veteran lineup. Most importantly, the music, execution, and end delivery feel fortified and cohesive. This is not a loose collection of ideas. There is no vanity here. This is power and the intent to wield…

ResurrectedPerpetualTestimony RecordsTo Be Released: April 24th, 2026 Rating: 8/10 “The strength of the riff is the soul of ‘Perpetual,’ but it truly moves through its rhythm-centric delivery, the combination of percussion to guitar creates an unbroken stream of urgency, a kinetic state of violence, something indicative of a band that has their shit together.” –1 – Unholy Intercession2 – Human…
