This is the sixth album from Fleshgod Apocalypse, an Italian death metal band. Both 2016’s King and 2019’s Veleno were notable records, so it’s with great interest that we turn to the 43 minutes of new music on Opera. Returning after their biggest gap between albums, after challenging adversity, and with a change in lineup since their ..read more

This is the debut album from Simone Simons, a symphonic metal artist from the Netherlands. I’ve always had a healthy respect for Epica, and for the vocals of their talented singer Simone Simons, so when Vermillion appeared, it only made sense to check it out. I’m so glad I did. On her first solo album Simone ..read more

This is the second album from Greek symphonic modern metallers Project Renegade. Ultra Terra is a 57-minute expression of contemporary metallic heaviness that takes in a range of old and new influences to produce an album of catchy, accessible songs. In other words, they play stadium-friendly heavy music with big choruses and symphonic enrichments. Project ..read more

Eleine are a Swedish symphonic metal band and this is their fourth album. This is my first encounter with Eleine, and it’s a very favourable one. Playing a form of symphonic heavy metal with a distinctly high quality flavour and more metallic might than you might expect, We Shall Remain delivers 37 minutes of engaging ..read more

This is the debut album from Swedish metal band Curse of Cain. Now here’s an interesting and unexpected release. Curse of Cain‘s 42 minutes weaves a compelling post-apocalyptic story that cooks together a bunch of different ingredients that probably shouldn’t work, but actually does. The end result is tasty and satisfying. The band’s style is ..read more

This is the third album from Canadian progressive metallers Osyron. Osyron play a form of progressive metal that takes influence from both old and new. There are elements of classic power and heavy metal, alongside newer, heavier, modern metal influences, (even approaching melodic death metal territories in places). This is a winning combination, and the ..read more

This is the debut album from Greek heavy metal band Battle Symphony. War on Earth gives us a whopping 69 minutes of music to absorb, (including the bonus track). Described as a conceptual metal opera with a sci-fi theme, it’s the result of one man’s vision, who then brought a plethora of people together to ..read more

This is the fourth album from German progressive metal band Disillusion. Ayam offers 59 minutes of idiosyncratic progressive metal. Highly melodic, with atmospheric, symphonic, and avant-garde touches, Disillusion have created a big, epic album, in more ways than one. The well-crafted songs are emotive and well-structured, taking the listener on a journey through texture and ..read more

Therion are a Swedish symphonic/operatic metal band and this is their eighteenth album. 2021’s Leviathan was one of my favourite records from that year. How it didn’t end up on my end of year list I’ll never know, and it remains a massive oversight on my part. Suffice to say it’s an absolute killer record, and ..read more

Cryptosis are a thrash metal band from the Netherlands and this is their debut album. Cryptosis play an aggressive form of thrash that combines raw fiery hostility with progressive depth. Thrown into this mix are minor elements of symphonic, technical, black, and death metal, all of which merely add flavour to an already tasty thrash-tastic ..read more
