We Shall Remain

An increasingly big deal in their native Sweden and beyond, ELEINE have built a reputation upon the simple notion that symphonic metal doesn't have to be all fantasy, fairies and glossy pomp. "We Shall Remain" is the band's fourth album, and it's their heaviest yet: an explosive, balls-out assault t...

Blossom

PUPIL SLICER's debut album was incredibly easy to love. Brittle, unpredictable and extreme, "Mirrors" satisfied many requirements: from blistering, angular grindcore, to artful, ornate sludge, via various eruptions of a disruptive, electronic disposition.

Reader Of The Runes — Rapture

Persistence is a noble virtue. These plucky Italians have been battering away at the gates of folk metal glory for over 25 years, and while they have never quite cut through in the same way that scene overlords like FINNTROLL and ENSIFERUM have, ELVENKING have always seemed to be heading in the righ...
