Album Reviews

Luna Kills has grown so much over the past years, going from a promising new band in the Finnish music scene to actually right now fulfilling a majority of that promise we saw in them all those years ago. ‘DEATHMATCH’ is their statement towards the world andthey are ready to wipe everyone off the map. Out on April 4th with SharpTone Records.

Seether never gets old and with their latest album ‘The Surface Seems So Far’, released last year via Fantasy Records, they managed to yet again bring that old school dark sound that made them popular, but with a modern twist!

While She Sleeps can make music speak, even with no lyrics. What they’ve accomplished again on their latest album ‘Self Hell’ is truly beautiful. Out via Spinefarm Records.

‘Will of the People’ is probably the most exciting piece of music that Muse has released in the last decade with something for fans of all the different sounds they’ve had in their 28 years of existence. Released via Warner Records and Helium-3.

Mantah brings you low tuned and heavy guitar riffs. Their album ‘Evoke’ gives a mix between late 90s nu metal, modern metal and metalcore, very melodic and heavy at the same time. A beautiful album to listen to, musically at first, but also lyrically when you take the time to dive deeper into this album.

Requiem brings us 9 tracks that while maintaining a bit of earlier Korn sounds also brings us modern Nu-Metal sounds and packs a punch.

Gemini Syndrome brings with the 3rd Degree – The Raising the final chapter in their trilogy. An excellent and powerful album full of hooked and groovy melodies.

For the first time in almost 10 years Evanescence puts out new music. Get ready to jam to this heavy hitting masterpiece.

From Ashes To New bring back the nu metal/rap metal sound from a couple of decades back and do it damn well!

“Pitfalls” is the album that nobody expected from Leprous. Alternative and progressive mixed as one topped with beautiful emotional melodies.
