I’d argue that some genres just feel more appropriate during specific seasons, and one of those is doom metal. It just fits these gloomy and cold days perfectly, and the weather just makes you appreciate the music even more. Which is why Coldspine‘s new album Nullpunkt is the ideal travel companion for December. Let me …

Blame The Others – Guilt To Last
Today’s review is technically about a new band but most of its members have been, or still are, in bands before and it can be felt in every note. Blame The Others came onto the scene at the beginning of 2023 and, after releasing a few stand-alone singles, have decided to drop an EP, titled …
Miles To Perdition – Of Gods And Parasites
Everything must come to an end, sooner or later. In the case of Miles To Perdition, the band chose to end their journey at the end of 2024, but not without giving their fans a musical goodbye in the form a final EP, called Of Gods And Parasites, which will be released this Friday, November …

Kraton – Monolith
When an album’s opening lines are “My spirit is broken”, growled in the most gut-wrenching way imagineable, you know you’re in for a ride. Five years after Unto Arcadia, which I somehow completely forgot to review back then, Kratonare back with their first full-length album, titled Monolith, and are, metaphorically, wearing a different set of …
UltraNothing – UltraNothing
Generally speaking, whenever life closes one door, it opens another one. While that is not always a good thing, because the new option might be worse than the initial one, such is not the case with today’s band. UltraNothing rose from the ashes of Office Of Weird and just like a phoenix, the result is …
Cat Piss Potion – Millenial Breakdown
A couple of weeks I mentioned that writing reviews about the same band can be repetitive, unless the band changes their style drastically. While I’ve never written about Cat Piss Potion, I have reviewed two other projects with the same singer: Godmorgon and Venlafvckscene. Despite those two projects being in different genres, they featured quite …
Asathor – Quenta Mir: Sangwa
It’s hard to believe that five years have gone by since the last, and first, Asathor record. A lot of things have changed, as has the band’s lineup, but that did not stop the quintet from releasing a new collection of songs, titled Quenta Mir: Sangwa a bit more than two weeks ago. I reckon …
Blanket Hill – The Ash That Shall Remain
You know, writing reviews can sometimes be difficult, especially when you write about a band you’ve already written about in the past. Because, unless they completely change their style, you run the risk of repeating yourself and the more I think about it, the less I think that it’s necessarily a bad thing. Since there …
Mindpatrol – Monster
It’s crazy, in a good way, to me that today’s band has been making music for over a decade now. I still remember getting early glimpses at their first record before it was even released and going to their first show and here we are, ten years later: their fifth release is on the horizon! …
Parity – Parity
Only last week I talked about how the Luxembourgish music scene seems to move a bit slower than others…and this week kind of proves my point: it’s been four, long long, years since Parity’s last release, but the wait is finally over and they’re back with a self-titled EP. Naturally I couldn’t pass up on …
