Album Reviews
After six funeral paced years the grandmasters of Finnish funeral doom have returned to the crematorium with their sixth full length ‘Companion’. Out via their countrymen of Svart Records
Marianas Rest seeks to expand and critique melancholic melodic death metal on their sophomore album.
“Mercurial Passages” is utterly obscure and emphasizes a doomy atmosphere. Recommended for fans of Obliteration, Autopsy, and Demilich.
Finnish metalcore misfits One Morning Left are sitting on a banger of an album with ‘Hyperactive’, mixing in the right amounts of 80s kitsch creating a neon monster along the way!
3 songs which gives a sense of what has been and what could have been with Bodom After Midnight. A worthy addition to Alexi Laiho’s repertoire and career. May the Wildchild rest/shred in peace.
A beautiful short EP that numbs the pain of waiting for Wolfheart’s sixth full-length album.
