Album Reviews

Sweden’s powerhouse The Crown returns with a solid album “Crown of Thorns”, delivering their trademark of aggressive death/thrash metal, out via Metal Blade Records!

Tribulation’s sixth studio album “Sub Rosa in Æternum” is memorably catchy and equally haunting and perfectly fits in the gothic metal canon. Out via Century Media Records since November 1st, and comes recommended to fans of Moonspell and Type O Negative, or even more gothic rock/electro affiliated acts like Sisters of Mercy or Depeche Mode!

Tenth studio album “Sunraven” from these Swedish heavy doomsters conveys the majesty of Grand Magus and evokes a relentless quality, in sounding all-powerful, and majestic. Out since yesterday, October 18th, via Nuclear Blast!

After being on my radar for a while Dampf have outdone themself with their new album ‘No Angels Alive’ that was released on 23 of August via Silver Lining Music. This album is extremely catchy and almost all songs live rent free in my head after a couple of listens.

Sweden’s Necrophobic returns with a staggering new album, “In Twilight Grey”. The songs here sound heavier, rawer, and more sinister, making them deliver one of their best studio albums of their career. Out via Century Media Records since last Friday!

At the end of last month, the Swedish metalcore legends Dead By April were finally back with their latest album ‘The Affliction’, another solid album that on the one hand surprises with some really cool collaborations with other bands and artists, but on the other hand doesn’t really bring in much new. If you’re a fan of the band, you’ll love this, though!

Swedish melodic blackened death metal super group Night Crowned offers a compelling mixture of aggression and modern mixture of Nordic melodies on the third album ‘Tales’ out via Noble Demon Records today!

“Hamartia” showcases the band’s memorable songwriting and wittingly transitioning into an era of prosperity, Tribulation has created its own sub-genre of dark gothic music and continue to expand their trademark palette. Released via Century Media Records.

Despite a lengthy hiatus, Swedish death doom veterans Runemagick has been quite prolific again these past few years with ‘The Cenotaph of Mankind’ as the latest engraving into this monolith of doom. Out since last Friday via Hammerheart Records.

Almost a decade after their debut, Swedish metalcore outfit Beneath My Feet is finally releasing their second album ‘In Parts, Together’ via Noble Demon this Friday! And with a couple of refreshing sounding tracks, this should appeal to fans of Dead By April and Bullet For My Valentine!
