Review by Jeger Mork – Monolitt Record Label: Peaceville Records Year: 2026 Rating: 9/10 From a strictly musical perspective, I’ve always been of the mind that the Norwegian school of Black Metal, without its status as a legendary Movement for obvious reasons, is perhaps the most boring school of Black Metal. Much of it sounds … Seguir leyendo “Review: Mork – Monolitt”

Review by Jeger Azaghal – Nekrohelios Record Label: Immortal Frost Productions Year: 2026 Rating: 10/10 To have listened to Azaghal is to have taken in true Finnish Black Metal of the most exacting consort. Standards way beyond the status quo and a vision that supersedes even the most stalwart of collectives are what Azaghal brings … Seguir leyendo “Review: Azaghal – Nekrohelios”

Review by Transmontanus Winterfylleth – The Unyielding Season Record Label: Napalm Records Year: 2026 Rating: 9/10 With “The Unyielding Season”, Winterfylleth once again affirm their standing as one of the United Kingdom’s most dependable voices in Atmospheric Black Metal.

Less than a year after delivering one of my favorite albums of 2025,1 Sallow Moth flutters in to unload another monstrous helping of progressive death metal. Thematically, Hydrophilous Brood continues exploring the quantum entanglements of the Mossbane Lantern, a capriciously powerful artifact that can transport users across planes of existence—often with horrific consequences. I thoroughly … Seguir leyendo “Sallow Moth – Hydrophilous Brood Review”

As AMG readers surely know, death metal and science fiction go together like science and fiction. Foundational and contemporary examples alike confirm that atonal riffing, guttural growling, and machine-gun drumming pair well with spaceships, aliens, and exoplanets. On the surface, Italy’s Into Darkness fit nicely into this milieu—that cover recalls the content of Spheres (Pestilence) … Seguir leyendo “Into Darkness – Route to the Outer Side Review”

While any band, metal or not, would kill to have a classic in their discography, I often feel that having one can do their other albums a disservice. Some classics continue their perpetual status by virtue of self-fulfilling “this is good because we have been told it must be” prophecy (Tomb of the Mutilated), while … Seguir leyendo “Carbon Tomb – Passage to a Neutron Star Review”

I’ve been on a bit of a thrash bender in June, and Ruyned will conclude this month’s kick for ol’ Grin. The Romanian trio sends me deep into the heart of July with turbocharged, high-octane riffing and a moderate case of whiplash. Profanum Sacrificium, Ruyned’s sophomore LP, plays thrash the way the olde school intended—at … Seguir leyendo “Ruyned – Profanum Sacrificium Review”

I sommar kommer ZZ Top tillbaka till Sverige med sin The Big One-turné, för sina 32:a och 33:e spelningar på svensk mark, på Dalhalla och i Malmö. Turnéaffischen och namnet antyder att vi har en Eliminator-fokuserad konsert att vänta. Under Eliminator-turnén 1983–1984 – bandets andra, tredje, fjärde och femte Sverigebesök – gjorde de inte mindre … Seguir leyendo “KRÖNIKA: ZZ Top i Sverige genom åren”
