The Mourning – Hush
“Hush” displays a lot of compositional variety, and offers a strong throwback to prog metal classics while also keeping a unique sound and mixing in unexpected elements.

Haliphron – Anatomy of Darkness
If you want your mind blown by something groundbreaking, there’s not much for you here, but if you just want to jam some gripping and well-executed death metal, then look no further. Haliphron has you covered.

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.

Evulsion – Spiritual Putrefaction
Evulsion’s debut record, “Spiritual Putrefaction” has one job to do and it does it exceptionally well. It slaps!

Omnivide – A Tale of Fire
The mix of styles in the material on “A Tale of Fire” speaks volumes to me. Debut albums are always a great stepping stone for bands, and I hope this landmark moment will spur them on. I am sure they have plenty of ideas in their locker and I look forward to hearing more from them.

Desolate Plains – The Inexhaustible Imperfection of the World
If you too would like to dive into dopamine induced hopelessness then I invite you to enter “The Inexhaustible Imperfection of The World”.

Exocrine – Legend
This is another one of those bands that have passed me by until now. Legend is their fifth album in just under ten years. So not only is there a back catalogue to explore, but it shouldn’t be too long before album number six. Bring it on I say because the pros far outweigh the cons on this release, so it’s thumbs up from me.

Stortregn – Finitude
I was expecting an exciting competition for tech-death supremacy to emerge towards the end of the year, as the release date to “Finitude” grew closer. What I didn’t expect, however, was that this album was going to shatter the bar and go play in a league of its own.

Tegmentum – Evolvement
Despite having sat through a bunch of technical death metal albums since the beginning of this year, I can easily say that Tegmentum dropped the most brutal album of 2023 so far. And it will be a very difficult one to top.

Kallias – First Ascent
“First Ascent” is an extraordinary display of clever composition, diverse technical abilities and ingenious combinations that stands as a unique voice in the progressive death metal scene!

UK Tech-Fest 2023
It is the end of an era; festivals come and go but there has never been one quite like this one. I would like to thank Simon and all the Tech-Fest team for all their hard work, it has been an honour to be a small part of it. Au revoir Tech-Fest.

Structural – Decrowned
Structural’s sophomore effort wastes no time and takes no prisoners. It is a relentless display of punchy and creative death metal with just enough variety to turn their craft into a maelstrom of sophisticated badassery!

Vintersea – Woven into Ashes
With “Woven into Ashes” we see Vintersea reaching for the stars in full-blown epicness.

Demon King – Vesania
Demon King’s debut was an instant dose of satisfaction for me. And after sitting through a couple of streams of “Vesania”, the only thought process that I can expect went behind this one is “Let’s do it again… but MORE”.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
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.
