Exxûl - Sealed into None

Solid epic doom metal cheese-core. Is it as good as Epicus Doomicus Metallicus? No, but it scratches the itch (sort of).

The music is there, but is this really the production they wanted? It's 2026, they should be able to get the sound they desire. Why this sanitary production?

CHUU - XO, My Cyberlove

an actual pretty OK kpop album wow
it's still too generic-poppy but enough subversions here and there

It's too clean for black metal and there's a bunch of 'Opeth-esque' interludes that aren't my jam but the good bits hit. Some decent reference material here, at least. Album seems experimental/improv jammy; they're feeling around for something but not sure what

Musically it's what you'd expect, which is fine, but no fresh take on the genre here. The real problem is the clear vocals, the most important part of a project like this, are restrained, not angsty enough. Actually, everything on the album is a bit too restrained and lacking

Searows - Death in the Business of Whaling

Purity Ring - shrines

i really love this album but it pisses me off so much that 'young magic' ruins what should be the best track

Sanguisugabogg - Hideous Aftermath

Juliana - Cuando Te Encuentre

one of Juliana's best tracks. she has such a pretty voice 😍 and this song showcases it, very nice

Sammy Virji - Same Day Cleaning

it's a solid album and I like the variety in singers, but it is like.. one beat for 53 minutes. i'd like some more variety for such a long work

Kara-Lis Coverdale - A Series of Actions in a Sphere of Forever
55

I don't usually rate classical (or jazz) on here, but want to note this;;

Non-functional harmony but also not atonal ; influences I assume are Barber, Debussy [also: gamelan], with some Crumb-like passages here and there (eg: Vortex)..

whole album is basically one tempo (slow), and music is kinda meandering but a good example of making 'modern' methods sound 'nice'

instrumentation: piano with electronic effects. piano part is "on the keys" (no extended ... read more

lots of potential here, keeping an eye out for evolution of sound in the future

other reviews have mentioned that the second half of the album is much more interesting than the first, which I agree with. Hoping for her to move more in that direction

Cryptopsy - An Insatiable Violence

look i get it. the first 15 seconds of the first track is cool. that doesn't mean they're back

Blackbraid - Blackbraid III

pretty solid BM album I REALLY like the singer here. good mix. Sounds a bit like good Immortal.

album art looks like something you'd get at an indian tattoo parlor

hi metal bands it's 2025 can we please get production quality that doesn't sound like it was recorded on a wax cylinder submerged in toilet water at the back of a warehouse thanks

this is sick, they're on the verge of a breakthrough here it's just missing something.. would like a little more depth to the sound but it's SO CLOSE

JENNIE - Ruby

some interesting use of electronic elements throughout but both the singing and lyrics are not to my tastes. also just too generic-poppy

note: radiohead quote in 'start a war' chorus
