|
|
Super catchy and engaging, with sultry vocals and masterful melodies. |

Perfect balance of brutality and symphonic arrangements, this Italian outfit just gets better and better. Be sure to catch them back in North American in 2025. |
|
|
The Greek masters returned with another opus of their signature Hellenic sound. |
|
|
What a soulcrushing release, too bad the band canceled a bunch of shows and didn't really promoted such an epic release. |
|
|
Our speakers still rattle from the melancholic riffing onslaught this release unleashes. |
|

Highly refined and perfect evolution from this enigmatic outfit. |

Monumental Doom, filled with highly emotional clean vocals and crushing tempos. |

More weird and trippy psychedelicness form this Avant-garde band that constantly pushes the envelope. |

Showing their first release was not a fluke, this Monastic Doom outfit will send chills down your spine, in a very elegant way. |
|

Such a unique and chilling release, definitely one of our favorites in 2024. Glad the band is getting the recognition they deserve and are featuring in Roadburn 2025. |
|
|
Cathartic and masterfully layered release that is set to propell these guys to new levels. Make sure to catch them live whever you can. |
|
|
We never though the band could come close to matching "True North", but with this one, they darn nearly did. Amazing release from start to finish. |
|
|
We played this release a couple hundred times more that we would like to admit. Truly majestic and highly emotional release. |
|
|
The atmosphere created by this band is one of the best in the scene, with high-octane tracks and tons of melody, it can't get much better than this. |
|
|
You won't give your name to an album that sucks, and Ihsahn makes this quite clear with one of his finest releases to date. |
|
|
The water in France should be checked for excess sulfur, as there have been some killer Black Metal releases coming from there in 2024, but none was as impressive as this one. |
|
|
Eerie vocals and catchy tunes is all it takes to create one of the best Gothic Metal albums of all time. |
|
|
Many bands can do brutal music, but Ulcerate takes things to a whole new level and create world-destroying music. |
|
|
the band took their highly intoxicating Dark music and further refined it with emotionally charged themes and crafty stylistic elements. |
