While the Luxembourgish metal scene does have numerous bands with a fairly diverse sound, it is not rare for one musician to be in multiple bands, sometimes even playing different instruments. The same phenomenon is true for today’s review topic, Aeonik, who entered the Metal Battle in 2025 as a fairly fresh band and came …

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 …
Dreadnought – The Fire Within
Almost as if taking my comment in my last review of today’s band to heart, they didn’t even wait two full years before releasing new material! As you might have guessed it by the title, I am delighted to share my first impressions of Dreadnought‘s upcoming release The Fire Within with you! First off, the …
Hexeen – Hexeentanz
In Hollywood, there’s this old tradition that film studios dump their worst movies in January, because nobody will really notice them anyways. This approach has also been applied in other forms of media, but it seems that the Luxembourgish metal scene doesn’t apply it to their release philosophy, because I can’t really think of a …
Dreadnought – Path To The Unknown
Changing band members is never an easy feat, and the Luxembourgish scene has had its fair share of new and old faces playing in different bands. However, I would argue that changing vocalists is always the riskiest move a band can make, since they tend to be the face of the band and be the …
Asathor – Vegvísir
It is said that a good wine needs time to develop its real flavor and I’d say that today’s review is about a band that has followed that same principal, because they’ve been around for almost a decade and a half without releasing any recorded music. This Saturday, however, it is finally time for Asathor …
Inzest – Collateral Damage
Due to its small size, the amount of practice spaces for (metal) bands is fairly limited in Luxembourg; which is why many bands have come together and share the same location. The, arguably, best known one is the Bricherhaff, which houses the bands Sublind, Kraton and Dreadnought. At one point in time, members from the …
Solbrud – Jærtegn
I’ve recently had another one of those instances where I got an album of a band that comes from a country that I do not associate with the direction they play at all…and yet they’ve managed to convince me that genres are not necessarily tied to a certain place. The Danish black metal band Solbrud …
Teitanblood – Death
Greetings, El Gore readers! Last time I wrote for these guys I reviewed Eyehategod’s In the Name of Suffering. Well, perhaps it’s the aficionado of awful in me, but now I bring you yet another taste of a truly dark, evil, raw pool of vermin and filth. Namely, the latest piece of work from what …
