Malicious Spears
Archaic Thorn
Ahh. Hand-drawn cover art. It's nice to see.
Precipice
Lychgate
A precipice is the edge of a very steep cliff, and that’s what I felt the entire time...standing so close to death. This was a pleasantly strange, unsettling listening experience for me, and the closest feeling that I can think of to describing it might be either the liberation, or the horrible guilt, one feels when they have just taken the soul from a fellow human.
Só Quem Viu o Relâmpago à Sua Direita Sabe
Kaatayra
After two listens, I am still not entirely sure what I think about the album. The band leaves the door open for mystery, and even your own imagination. Harsh vocals contrast with traditional Brazilian folk music in a way that just keeps you on your toes throughout the experience, and if nothing else, its mysteries are buried deep within.
The Wild Card
Treat
The songs themselves are simple and straight forward, they just come to the point. If you are looking for intricate structures, for different sorts of breaks and/or all kinds of variety in a song, forget it. If you want all those ingredients throughout the record, you are in for a TREAT, as “The Wild Card” has all that in spades.
A Test Of Strength
Zero Tolerance
A Test Of Strength” is a solid, decent but also extremely entertaining album. I doubt that ZERO TOLERANCE will achieve world dominance with this album but I am sure that they are going to gain a lot of praise from a lot of Thrash and Heavy Metal fans.
The Carcass Choir
Monachopsis
"A techdeathmess from the midlands," you say...
Canvas
Mors Verum
When I hear the term Death Metal, I get images of rotting flesh, destruction and death, and even guttural noise. But here, the music was alive…moving, breathing, never standing still. It’s ardent enough for the common fan, but also offers a kaleidoscope of other sounds for those of us looking for something different.
De l'Abîme au Plérôme
Sanctvs
Overall, this was a solid album to listen to. It didn’t necessarily offer anything new to the genre, but you can hear the fire and the passion behind the compositions, as well as the artist’s skills.
The Lamentations
Forever Autumn
“The Lamentations” is Autumn Ni Dubhghaill’s most stirring release to date, and not just in the emotional or sentimental sense but in a raw and visceral sense as well.
Aus uralter Zeit
XIV Dark Centuries
Five years has been a bit of a wait but then again, the band does measure itself in centuries so I guess I can’t really complain.
Tears
Sacrifice
If you ask me, this Japanese version of SACRIFICE should have been at least as big worldwide as the Canadian Thrash Metal band with the same name. There can’t be any doubt at all that these guys were capable of writing and recording bloody good music. On “Tears” that gives us over 44 minutes of beautiful Heavy Metal.
Heed The Prophecy (Reissue)
Paragon
PARAGON is an American band from Springfield in Ohio. These guys only existed from 1987 until 1992/1993, of that no one is exactly sure. In those times they played pure Melodic Progressive US Metal. Apparently, they wanted to sound like some of the big US Progressive Metal bands.

Fiery Path
Infernal Presence
“Fiery Path” is traditional Black Metal with direct and punishing guitar riffs, aggressive growls, and blood-freezing melodies
Last Light Fades
Graves for Gods
This was an excellent Doom album. For one, the band’s vision was not just about long songs with slow, heavy beats, because they also added a flair for the psychedelic at times with lead notes, and even keys. This approach kept the dastardly depressing sound more active to the listener, and this is an album that all Doom fans should take a gander at.
Let Water Flow
Moon Wisdom
Overall, this was a decent listening experience, but I just didn’t get a firm enough handle on their sound through 30 minutes of runtime. I also didn’t hear much in the way of Punk or even Gaze sounds. Had they not mentioned that, I probably wouldn’t be as disappointed as I am.
The Greatest Gift Of All
Stryper
This is STRYPER from start to finish. Melodic Heavy Metal/Hard Rock that will have you singing along in no time.
La Alma
Blossoms Fall
It is all just too neat, too controlled. I never get the feeling that the band is throwing everything they have at me, that they are holding back for future references and/or releases. If they are, that’s their bad, because that means that they are forgetting that you can only make a good first impression once.

CZART
CZART is an experimental metal band hailing from Poland. The concept behind their debut album, “Czarty Polskie,” has been controversial not only for the AI debate but for the many references to Polish demonology. On All Hallows Eve, Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, caught up with members of CZART to discuss everything from AI to the reasons why metal resonates so much in Poland to whether we are living in the best of times or the worst. Most importantly, they discuss the beloved CZART goat.
Sam Graff

On September 26, 2025 they released their third full-length album, “Upon Tall Thrones,” which not only weighed in at 8/10 on the Metal Temple scales but hit #1 on Doom Charts for September 2025. This month Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, was able to catch up with Stefano Fiorelli (guitars, vocals) to discuss the origin story of WARCOE, details of their latest album, and even speculate on the impacts of AI and streaming platforms.
Jacob Curwen
All Hell
All Hell has been described as a Blackened Thrash band, but they are much more. On October 10, 2025, the trio for Ashville, North Carolina release their fifth full-length album, "Sunsetter," via Terminus Hate City. Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, caught up with Jacob Curwen (vocals, guitars) to discuss topics ranging from the band's origins to the details of "Sunsetter" to AI in metal.
