Kreator - Krushers Of The World
70

There’s a certain expectation that comes with a new KREATOR record. Not just speed, not just riffs — but that unmistakable sense of forward motion: songs written to move bodies, sharpen minds, and leave a mark. Krushers Of The World leans into that identity with a confident mix of modern clarity and old-school urgency, sounding like a band that understands its legacy without being trapped by it.

The Callous Daoboys - I Don't Want to See You in Heaven
80

I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven is a provocative, energetic, and refreshingly innovative effort. While its relentless complexity might not cater to all tastes, its musical bravery and authenticity demand respect. It’s an album that will challenge, excite, and perhaps even frustrate—but isn’t that exactly the point?

Whitechapel - Hymns in Dissonance
85

Whitechapel hasn’t sounded this focused and merciless in years. The clean vocals are all but gone, replaced with an avalanche of double-kick blasts, jagged down-tuned riffs, and slamming breakdowns that feel like tectonic shifts. The band doubles down on what they do best: dissonance, dynamics, and domination.

Spiritbox - Tsunami Sea
85

Spiritbox didn’t just meet expectations with Tsunami Sea — they crushed them under a wall of sound.
This album is a searing, sweeping masterpiece that proves modern metalcore still has new places to go.

From shimmering beauty to ruthless brutality, from electronic dreamscapes to djent-fueled avalanches, Spiritbox balances everything with a fearless, aching heart.

Opeth - The Last Will and Testament
85

Is The Last Will & Testament Opeth’s best? Not quite, but that’s less a criticism of this record and more a testament (pun intended) to the band’s staggering catalog. What it is, however, is a masterful melding of their death metal roots and prog ambitions. The return of growls feels like coming home, but it’s the album’s conceptual depth and musical sophistication that make it one of their most exciting releases in years.
