Ever Forthright – Techinflux
Despite all the complexity, the composition is very engaging and gets under your skin, making you want to move along to the grooves.

Entheos – An End to Everything
Could this be the most emotionally relevant technical death metal release I’ve heard to date? I’m not sure, but it’s certainly close to the top.

Fleshgod Apocalypse – Opera
I know technical death metal is not for everyone, but beyond the death metal element, there’s a dimension of theater, poetry and drama, and a message of power and standing against all odds, that I think will inspire almost anyone.

Simone Simons – Vermillion
“Vermillion” is an unexpected surprise, and a very welcome addition to the endlessly growing culture of symphonic and progressive metal that the Dutch are so good at.

Forever in Transit – A Coming to Terms
“A Coming to Terms” is sitting neatly between classic and modern progressive metal, with a sound that could be categorized as either.

Monochromatic Black – Predacious
It feels like they stripped down a lot of the sophisticated fluff, and almost voluntarily chose to make this EP a bit more messy and muscular.
Read More
Seven Spires – A Fortress Called Home
It has a unique signature sound that fits the entire album, despite songs varying from extreme metal monsters to groovy bangers, energetic symphonic or power metal tunes, ballads and even some doom metal elements.

Meden Agan – My Name is Katherine
If you too are a fan of dramatic storytelling, blisteringly fast drums, epic orchestrations, swirling guitar leads and multi-faceted vocals, then I suggest you look no further.

Evulsion – Spiritual Putrefaction
Evulsion’s debut record, “Spiritual Putrefaction” has one job to do and it does it exceptionally well. It slaps!
Read More
Marjana Semkina – Sirin
If you want to lower the stress levels and set a good vibe, this album should be among your top choices. “Sirin” sounds like scented candles smell. It’s auditory wholesomeness at its finest.

Red Handed Denial – A Journey Through Virtual Dystopia
The iconic sound is still there, and the songs are still very catchy, but the composition seems less riff-driven, and many of the songs come across more mellow and vulnerable.

Oubliette – Eternity Whispers
“Eternity Whispers” is a powerful album, showing a lot of flexibility and experimentation to take the groundwork of black metal and rework it for an entirely different emotional payoff.

Vale of Pnath – Between The Worlds of Life and Death
The barrage of blasting on the drums and running nature of the guitar riffs is technical enough to have the nerds satisfied, while the hostile, corrosive sound and evil chord progressions always keep the portals to hell open for those more ritualistically inclined.

Kälad – Arkamine
I think what makes this album interesting is the way it manages to combine what may seem as pretty generic symphonic metal tropes with a modern djent and metalcore blend of sounds and heavy electronic effects.

Dear Mother – Necessary Darkness
The combination of aggression and vulnerability, dark lyrics that leave room for interpretation and just enough variation, makes “Necessary Darkness” a strong next step for Dear Mother.
Read More
Magoria – Hollingsworth Mansion
The music and lyrics are excellently put together to build the characters, scenery and plotline in the most entertaining and engaging way possible.
Read More
Dialith – Alter
If you’re in the mood for some refreshing symphonic metal, go give “Alter” a try. Something tells me you won’t regret it.
Read More
Martin Gonzalez – Suspiro
“Suspiro” feels like an honest experiment. It’s wacky and weird, but it hits all the intended feels in unexpected ways.
Read More
Eternal Storm – A Giant Bound to Fall
Eternal Storm explore complex ideas, deliver them through raw and unaltered emotion, and do so using brilliant musical ideas delivered with fantastic execution.
Read More
Dark Oath – Ages of Man
The fresh take on heavy orchestration in death metal is very exciting. They nailed an incredible sound and brought forth some fantastic melodies and epic moments.
