Bellum Regiis
When HATE released their debut album in 1996, it was far from obvious that they would develop into something special. "Demon Qui Fecit Terram" was a vicious first foray that exuded youthful vitriol and vigor. Like many young bands from Poland, HATE's blackened death metal was largely dedicated to ri...April 30, 2025

A Sonication
Virtuoso death metal comes in numerous forms, but few are as definitive or undeniable as the shiny, immaculate strain of cerebral tech-death that OBSCURA have been propagating for the last 23 years. In fact, since 2009's breakthrough release "Cosmogenesis", the Germans have been a rarely disputed be...February 6, 2025

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...July 31, 2024

The Shadow Inside
For those that worship at the dual altars of thrash and death metal, SADUS are an unassailable benchmark. The Californians' first three albums — "Illusions" (1988),  "Swallowed In Black" (1990) and "A Vision of Misery" (1992) — are all stone-cold classics, and even though their output fizzled to...November 14, 2023

Bats
The thrash metal revival of the mid-2000s may have eventually fizzled out, but its main protagonists are all still hacking away at the high-velocity coalface. Second only to MUNICIPAL WASTE as an unassailable benchmark for that scene, GAMA BOMB have maintained a steady pace, releasing a series of au...November 7, 2023

Shades Of Sorrow
Barely two years into their existence, CRYPTA already sounded like a finished, old-school death metal article. The Brazilians' 2021 debut album, "Echoes of the Soul", was an exhilarating revelation when it came out with rather less fanfare than it arguably deserved. With a sound that tapped into the...August 1, 2023

Of Golden Verse
They came, they saw, they released one excellent album, and then they vanished without a trace, very much the immaculate enigma. SERMON made an indelible impression on the hazy world of modern progressive metal back in 2019, despite only performing live on one occasion, divesting no information at a...April 3, 2023

Yet another demonstration of UNIQUE LEADER RECORDS' keen eye for superior talent, CARRION VAEL's first album for the label is impossible to dislike.
