Universal Heat Death
Indica Blues
“Universal Heat Death” plays into that dark Psych Doom tradition that we have all come to know and love but also makes some relevant observations about today’s socio-political state.
Memorial
Olhava
Rather than a traditional album, this was a journey to the far reaches of the universe and back again. I feel as though the album transported me into a wormhole where it just gave me glimpse of what is up there, and even a fleeting look is overwhelming. The album cover captures its essence very well. It’s a warm, cozy cabin nestled in deep, dark, and imposing trees that no one could ever find.
Embers of a Dying World
Mystfall
Did you know that Graham crackers were invented to help combat self-pleasure? After listening to this album, there's an empty box of them on my desk. Hope it works!
Icemelter
Frozen Land
“Icemelter“ delivers traditional Power Metal with a good mixture of fast and mid-tempo tracks, tight and powerful guitar riffs, catchy and sing-along melodies
Hush
Tardigrade Inferno
“Hush” is a melting point of different genres and vibes, including progressive Metal, Groove Metal, but there are also a few Punk and Alt-Metal vibes present

Monument In Time
Beyond The Pale
The album review you're about to read is a compilation of all their earlier releases. It therefore is quite fitting that it has taken the name of the EP, as all five original songs are featured on this rendition of “Monument In Time”.
Overspace & Supertime
Cryptic Shift
I have no choice but to be amazed, enthralled and totally enamoured with what CRYPTIC SHIFT is presenting me with on “Overspace & Supertime”. To me this all sounds absolutely superb, has all the elements that make me crave to hear more of CRYPTIC SHIFT; excitement, surprise, attraction and superb musicianship.
1994
Final Coil
I’m slightly embarrassed that I don’t know much about this band, but it does make me an objective reviewer. Although only four songs long, it does take me back to the 90’s music scene, which I largely tried to forget about, besides a few notable names. I can hear those notable names on the album, and it’s a sentimental and nostalgic way to pay tribute. There is also a lot of energy flowing from their music.
Midnight
Toward The Throne
For homework, go read Dune or some other popular space novel with this playing in the background, and write a five-paragraph essay on your thoughts.
Spectral Realm of Union
Degraved
OSDM? NSDM? BDSM? Whatever era of death metal you're a fan of, Degraved will tickle your fancy.
Cannibal Galaxy
Osmium Gate
This was a decent album, but just not diverse enough for me. It has plenty of weight and presence, but no big shifts or punches of melody. I also don’t hear the vast emptiness that they talk about. Indeed, the constant hum of double bass moves to the forefront of their music and takes over. Through eight songs, it becomes a burden for me.
Metempsychosis
Graveborn
Take a close look at the album cover for clues of what you might find musically. Deep shades of purple and blue swirls chase each other’s tails high in the canopy while a single person watches. It’s like magic in many ways. Their musicianship…is stellar, and they are able to breathe new life into the genre by taking bold steps on both sides of the aisle. It will leave you drained by the end, utterly spent.
The Carrion Waltz
Dimwind
As you might imagine, this is a highly personal album, and some people say a cancer diagnosis invokes the same feelings as the five stages of grieving. The music reflects these various stages well. Much of the album was dark, mired in shadows, and reflective of some very dark times in life. In that regard, it was interesting to listen to, and I found myself absorbed in the movements. It’s something anyone who has had a health scare can relate to, and which of us haven’t?
Hubris
Golgotha
When you have been able to survive as long as GOLGATHA (the sacred site located immediately outside the ancient walls of Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was crucified) have, you didn’t get there without the support of your fans. So, 30+ years into the journey, you don’t want to do a 180 and then your fans begin to question you. They took the safer route, and I understand why, but this was a predictable sound for me. It was good, but could have been better.
Annihilated Existence
Sypsis
I am enamoured with the results of what i have been hearing while I have been listening to “Annihilated Existence” time and time again, and have no qualms into proclaiming this to be a treasured album.
Ad Infinitum
Hyshtral
In the 30 plus minutes that HYSHTRAL needs to get through “Ad Infinitum”, you will be thrown all over the place emotionally. One thing is for sure, the band definitely starts with their best song, as “Cell In Hell” is simply put a corker of a tune.
För evigt
Motljus
This album was a scene of devastation, destruction, regret, and anger. But it was also a scene of serenity and peace, the latter two are just harder to find. Like any mind puzzle, if you are able to block out some of the thick never-ending aggression, you will discover the beauty within. It just makes you work harder to find the soft core.

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.
