The Ritual Aura – Heresiarch
They take their name seriously. This album is aimed to sound like a ritual, and to keep the listeners immersed and hypnotized.

Alkaloid – Numen
On top of the fact that it is excellently put together as a modern death metal album, “Numen” might also be one of the most diverse and multi-faceted extreme metal releases I’ve come across!

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.

The Zenith Passage – Datalysium
As soon as I had sat through my first audition of the album, I knew it was gonna become a tech-death favourite.

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!

Dawn of Ouroboros – Velvet Incandescence
The album sounds like a ritual that hooks you and then engulfs you entirely as if it taps into something primal and fundamental to life.

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”.

Chaos over Cosmos – A Dream If Ever There Was One
This is the most extreme album that Chaos Over Cosmos has ever released.

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.

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”.

Abstracted – Atma Conflux
This is one of the most impressive, gargantuan and multi-faceted prog death metal releases I’ve heard in recent years.
Read More
Inanimate Existence – The Masquerade
I think this band finds a way to make their music so mathematically precise and clinical that it starts losing credibility as being played by humans. And I’m not necessarily saying that in a bad way.

Arkaik – Labyrinth of Hungry Ghosts
This album is probably what death metal would sound like if it was composed by an A.I. with a keen understanding of feelings and dopamine triggers.

The Devils of Loudun – Escaping Eternity
It’s hard for me to pinpoint what exactly makes their music work so well and hook me almost instantly, but I would say there is no secret ingredient, rather a very meticulous and cleverly orchestrated balance between the various elements they have to offer.

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.

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
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.

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.
