Adon

Sometimes, perhaps often, there is great benefit to knowing absolutely nothing about an artist. A shadowy duo from California, ADON have no apparent hinterland and no real desire to concoct one. In the true tradition of the blackest metal, "Adon" arrives after minimal preamble and only one preview s...

Wake Up The Wicked

Inimitable and unstoppable, POWERWOLF have become one of the world's biggest metal bands over the last decade. A distinctly gothic alternative to the brash pomp of the power metal mainstream, the Germans have nurtured their self-created niche with great skill. Each successive album has added fuel to...

Unyielding Night

Slowly gestating, like some monstrous intergalactic parasite, over the last 16 years, ASSEMBLE THE CHARIOTS have taken the scenic route to their debut album.

Omegon

Here we go again, hurtling into the vortex, feverishly anticipating another savage beating at the bloody hand of infernal astrophysics.

Fueled By Fear

Eternally damned and relentlessly filthy, blackened thrash is metal at its purest and most unapologetic. WRAITH have been experts at it since their debut, self-titled EP, which crawled into underground ears back in 2017. Now, after three increasingly impressive studio albums, the Indiana quartet see...

The Formless Fires

The brainchild of Swedish multi-instrumentalist Jacob Björnfot, KVAEN earned themselves a formidable underground reputation with their two previous albums, "The Funeral Pyre" (2020) and particularly "The Great Below" (2022),&nbsp which was sufficiently buzz-worthy to lure Metal Blade Records into th...

Review

Massive Incineration

A strong track record counts for a lot in underground metal, particularly when a band disappears for over a decade.

On September 6, 2024, METAL ALLE...
