Mask of Prospero – Hiraeth
This album has been three years in the making but is well worth the wait. I hope we don’t have to wait another three years for the next release, because this is another great Greek story.

Euphrosyne – Keres (EP)
I’ve no doubt that the band will be keen to follow up on this excellent debut as soon as possible.

Avandra – Prodigal
This new release is certainly a progression, they are obviously not afraid to experiment, so it will be interesting to know what’s in the pipeline.

MMXX – Sacred Cargo
“Sacred Cargo” is an album that will please many fans of melancholic doom metal. Such a powerful debut deserves a follow-up!

This is the most extreme album that Chaos Over Cosmos has ever released.

Avatarium – Death, Where Is Your Sting
“Death, Where Is Your Sting” is a mesmerizing album full of highlights, crafted by musicians who are not afraid to experiment, yet also manage to turn these experiments into excellent songwriting.
Read More
Sede Vacante – Conium
Conium is a very good example of the genre. The music has a harder edge than some other symphonic metal bands. I hope they keep that part of their compositions but also continue to include some softer tracks because that works.

Lorna Shore – Pain Remains
In these dark times everyone has their own way of coping. For me, music helps and sometimes that includes extreme music. The precision is jaw dropping and the arrangements are unpredictable and satisfying. The band seem to strive to better themselves constantly and it remains to be seen where they go next.

Haven of Echoes – The Indifferent Stars
Everything Paul touches seems to turn to gold and his accomplice Andreas appears to have the same ability. So, this partnership has quality stamped all over it. “The Indifferent Stars” is a fine addition to the catalogue of both musicians and who knows, we may see more from them. I certainly hope so.

An Abstract Illusion – Woe
The creative effort, challenging topic and gargantuan scale of the delivery can only secure a place for “Woe” as one of the strongest contenders for the 2022 album of the year.
Read More
Revocation – Netherheaven
Revocation sounds super inspired and energetic on “Netherheaven”, so I happily recommend the album to anyone who loves extreme melodic metal.

Blind Guardian – The God Machine
“The God Machine” is a definite must-have for Blind Guardian fans and certainly an interesting album for anyone who likes progressive power metal.
Read More
Dreadnought – The Endless
As a whole, “The Endless” can best be defined as compelling, hypnotic and cathartic.
Read More
Ardarith – Home
There is a hint of album no. 2 and if the quality of future material is up to the standard of “Home” it will be worth waiting for.
Read More
Warforged – The Grove | Sundial
I feel like the band stayed true to the weird, ruthless concoction of sonic witchcraft and mad science that made their debut so savage, but they decided to take their listener’s risk of heart failure into account on this one.

Soilwork – Övergivenheten
There you have it, Soilwork has delivered the goods once again on “Övergivenheten”. I wish more bands would sound so inspired so many years into their career!

Stormbound – December
At the end of the album, it feels like you ran a marathon, been transported through many places and even different eras, as if you were on a proper adventure, and you’re left with a beautiful sense of finality.

Anthea – Tales Untold
What we do have here is a talented set of musicians with plenty of great ideas. That should stand them in good stead for the future.
Read More
Arch Enemy – Deceivers
This is a cracking album from one of the stalwarts of the metal world. Arch Enemy are another band that I need to keep an eye on now.
Read More
Aronious – Irkalla
“Irkalla” follows the band’s unique brand of unstable, constantly shifting progressive tech-death, but it seems updated both in virtuosity and composition from its predecessor.
Read More
Atomic Symphony – Hybris
While it is probably not the most innovative or surprising work I’ve heard, it is authentic, exceptionally well produced, and delivered by a tremendously talented group of musicians who really knew how to come together in their craft.

Greylotus – Dawnfall
While I still struggle to take most of it seriously, I absolutely love hearing it. If you want everything you believe about the world to be proven wrong, be sure to spin “Dawnfall”.

Conjurer – Páthos
Conjurer manages to make an album that captures everything I loved about “Mire” and expands upon it with more melody, more experimentation, and top tier compositions.

Philosophobia – Philosophobia
Bands like Philosophobia prove beyond doubt that there is still decent music around.
Read More
Porcupine Tree – Closure/Continuation
This album contains some of the strongest and most convincing material Steven Wilson and co have ever written, but at the same time, they’re not covering any new ground.

Abstracted – Atma Conflux
This is one of the most impressive, gargantuan and multi-faceted prog death metal releases I’ve heard in recent years.
