Archspire - Too Fast to Die
85

This album is really good. Tech death with harmony and a fun factor. It’s almost exactly what you’d expect from this band and that is cool.

65

Vocals do not do it for me

Division of Mind - Exoterror
65

Heavy but predictable. I’m sure the are fun live but I got bored listening to at home.

Skinhead - The Plan: 1
65

Song is good. Spoken word is wild.

Thy Art Is Murder - The Depression Sessions
70

The original songs are great. Covers are bad.

Fulci - Risorsero Dalla Tomba E Fu... L'apocalisse!
80

Surprise release for me. Overall it’s an intro, a decent song, and then a banger. I’ll take it.

ERRA - silence outlives the earth
65

Like their last album, this should work. Musicianship is good. I just can’t latch onto anything or remember any clear moments after 3 listens. I feel this bad is falling into generic ok metalcore territory.

No/Más - No Peace
80

This is a good death grind record. There’s nothing on here that will blow you away if you’re a fan of the genre. That being said No / Mas translate to an amazing live slow. Highly recommend if you get the chance. I will continue to be a fan of this group. Oh yeah, Fuck ICE.

World I Hate - Total Nuclear Annihilation
80

Good powerviolece overall. I enjoy the album but some of the songs blend together too much.

MØL - DREAMCRUSH
75

Refreshing album. A different kind of listen. Lots of pop and alternative pieces with black metal influences. I enjoyed it but not sure it will make it to my end of the year list.

Stabbing - Eon of Obscenity
85

This is the fist great record of 2026 for me. This is a love letter to suffocation and dying fetus records of the 1990s. Vocals are amazing, production is lit. This is a great work out record.

The Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal
95

This is one of my favorite bands. I love this album. RIP Trevor. Michigan love.

Terror - Always the Hard Way
85

Terror does not miss.

Ringworm - Seeing Through Fire
85

Ringworm has still got it. Too hardcore for metal. Too meta for hardcore.

Terror - Pain Into Power
95

Best hardcore band in the world. This album is reinvigorated, powerful, and punishing.

Voidhämmer - Noxious Emissions
65

Decent grimy death metal.

Crystal Lake - The Weight of Sound
50

A couple stand out songs but overall a generic metalcore album with nothing special to offer.

Poppy - Empty Hands
60

Some catchy choruses but overall way too over produced and uninspired.

Kreator - Krushers Of The World
65

Decent thrash album. The Suspiria theme rip off in Tränenpalast got me.

Defeater - Defeater
85

Defeater is one of those bands you love or hate. Do you love concept albums? Do you love long running stories where you should pay attention to the lyrics? Do you like harsh vocals and clean singing? Do you like being sad? Listen to Defeater. I love them.
