Heavy, bleak and reflective of real global issues, 'In Un Mondo Senza Violenza' delivers a sonic manifesto for a world without borders and free of structural, economic and state violence.

Throne Of Iron - Adventure Two

 

Genre: Heavy/Epic
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2025


1. Denied
2. The Oath
3. Divine Smite
4. The First Loss
5. The Final Rage
6. Upon A Bloody Shore
7. Detect Evil
8. The City Of Brass
9. The Holy Fire Of St. Djezzagh
10. Altar Of Ukim's Conflagration
11. The Ninth Level


2nd album by Throne Of Iron, 5 years after their debut. It is more direct and focused, getting down to the business of sharp, heavy riffing, thumping bass and drums and fantastical lyrics. The compositions are simple but well-crafted, and what the band lacks in technical prowess, they more than make up for with passion.

10. Don't Bleed Over Me
11. Written In Blood
12. The Six Hundred
13. We Burn
14. Ramesses


12th album by Tokyo Blade. The album seems to inject a welcome additional hint of melody across the record as compared to the previous album 'Fury'. Overall, while just very slightly less heavy and more dynamic than the last record, I really enjoyed the energy and fun on 'Time Is The Fire'.

2nd album by Venator. It is unapologetically rooted in the classic European heavy metal tradition. Venator’s sound draws less from American power or epic metal, instead channeling the energy of early NWOBHM (think Judas Priest) and continental acts like Scorpions, Pretty Maids, and Finland’s Oz.

Country: Czech. Rep.
Year: 2025



1. Loss
2. Mourning
3. Anger
4. Dhoom
5. Blessing
6. Joy
7. There Is More To Lose





5th album by Cult Of Fire. It is definitely a grower, the hypnotic qualities becoming more apparent each time yet it still can be something of a disappointment on initial listens. This is still not up to the best that we hope to hear from Cult of Fire but remains a solid enough listen in its own right, and for those of you who match the band's intensity and focus, a compelling experience.

5th album by Beleriand. Atmospheric black metal at its finest. Shrieks, post-metal moments, clean vocals, acoustic parts, folkish influences. A little bit cheesy, but always entertaining and trippy!

Year: 2025



1. Black Star
2. Corridors Of Chaos

4. Forever My Queen (Pentagram cover)





4-track 'Ep by Candlemass. Two new songs, two cover songs, and yet more great riffs from the tireless mind of Leif Edling, 'Black Star' may be a simple stopgap release, but it's a really good one.

4. The Oath
5. Tower Of High Sorcery
6. Fortress Of Sorrow
7. Into The Shadows

3rd album by Achelous. Picking up where the last album, 'The Icewind Chronicles', left off, Achelous gets right to it, doling out mighty riffs with an absolutely crushing guitar tone. Oriental touches mix with wonderful female vocals, folk passages that strongly strengthen the epic element, heavy metal at its best as we learned and love it.

3rd album by Pissgrave, 6 years after their last one. Great death metal riffs veer into grind from time to time and are spiced up by quick, chaotic solos. Even when going relatively slow, Pissgrave produce a terrifying sound that lets you know it’s up to no good.

It is an extremely solid return from Obscura that should please those who love the melodic guitar work and progressive death metal stylings, all while dishing out plenty of stimulating interchanges in the process.

The vocals are a blend of growls and chipmunky vocals (with the growls taking centre stage) that bounce along the music like a well-fitted glove.

Country: Norway
Year: 2025


1. Maltreated Mind Makes Man Manic

9. Through The Pain
10. Drowned In Dreams



7th album by Cadaver. Ten punishingly brutal tracks push the limits of death metal, with a hint of black metal, offering both nostalgia and a fresh assault on the senses. This is not a new album per se, but rather an unreleased album from 1991 or so, with some former band members joining to rework and complete it. It sounds more experimental, with sounds and melodies that you wouldn't normally expect in the genre.
