Devin Townsend – Snuggles/The Puzzle
The simultaneously released “Snuggles” and “The Puzzle” are a proverbial yin and yang: The former represents calmness and the latter chaos.

Cynic – Ascension Codes
“Ascension Codes” isn’t for the faint of heart. It takes an open mind and a lot of dedication and perseverance before it unveils its otherworldly and ethereal beauty.

Aethereus – Leiden
The Aethereus soundscape is designed to massacre the listener’s eardrums in the most engaging way possible!
Read More
Magnum – The Monster Roars
It may not necessarily be a typical Magnum album, but it certainly has the Magnum sound and does not disappoint. It’s full of well-crafted material and bodes well for the band in the years to come.

First Fragment – Gloire éternelle
I would not be surprised if “Gloire éternelle” would go down in history as a timeless symbol of the genre and a testament for the highest reaches of human potential.

Wilderun – Epigone
Oh, Wilderun. When I discovered them back in 2019 when we received a promo copy of their record...

Inferi – Vile Genesis
When you put together the technique, complexity, epic melodies and infernal oppressive aura, it sounds like “Vile Genesis” might just be 2021’s most evil album.
Read More
Dessiderium – Aria
After a stream of the full-length I was easily convinced that this project refuses genre boundaries and taps into many different faces of extreme metal, as well as some other influences.
Read More
Obscura – A Valediction
“A Valediction” is a total nerd-fest for the tech maniac but also engaging enough to keep the average metal listener interested.
Read More
Archspire – Bleed the Future
“Bleed the Future” is obviously not for everyone, but for those who like their music technical and extreme, it is undoubtedly one of the most important releases of the year.
Read More
Syrek – Story
Narration that is delivered like a children’s story, but with music for grown-ups. It’s an unusual approach, but oddly comforting. I think it really is a monster.

Devil’s Reef – A Whisper From The Cosmos
This EP surely impressed me. It is only 5-tracks but with these songs they managed to create something unique, creative and genre-bending enough to stand-out even among The Artisan Era’s roster.
Read More
The Agonist – Days Before The World Wept
The outpour of extremity, technical proficiency and unexpected rhythmic shifts that they bring forth on this release is unlike anything they’ve ever done.
Read More
Persona – Animal
It keeps the energy levels up almost all the way through, and flashes off fiery technicality in an elegant way that doesn’t distract from the energy and feel of the music.
Read More
Monochromatic Black – Vicissitude
While their first release shined more on the uplifting and triumphant side, this one is a theatrical descent into the macabre and a torturous struggle for liberation.
Read More
Within Progress – Inner
“Inner” is an album that you can fully sink into and get lost in the emotions and atmospheres it creates.
Read More
Rage of Light – Redemption
Something tells me that we haven’t seen the last of Rage of Light. I think there’s plenty more ideas brewing, and I’ll be keen to get a taste.
Read More
Lychlake – The Tragedy of Doctor Faustus
This album is musically sumptuous, lyrically flamboyant and mischievous, creepy, weird and any other superlatives you care to think of.
Read More
Bullet For My Valentine – Bullet For My Valentine
The band have big hopes for the future and want the high calibre of this album to continue. They are still hungry and confident and I for one, won’t be ignoring them again.
Read More
Nightland – The Great Nothing
“The Great Nothing” is definitely great and far from nothing. They are definitely one band to look out for on the slowly returning live scene.
