Extreme is the way

GOROD – The Ember Gone

An album that proves Gorod are one of the most inventive bands in contemporary tech/prog death metal, bringing together a wide range of stylistic elements to create a memorable and cohesive work.

ARCHGOAT – Nightbringer, Lightbringer

An album that never loses its intensity, but rather enhances it by weaving additional elements into each track without ever straying from their unmistakable sound.

SKUGGOR – The Expanse

The project has now reached its fourth studio album in four years, arguably marking its compositional peak.

MISCREANCE – Reminiscence

The band continue to build on the formula that has established them as one of the most talented acts in the Italian underground, taking it to another level on one of the finest albums of the year.

CONVULSE – World Without God

An album that, in its own way, can be considered a masterpiece, or at the very least a seminal one: heavy, abyssal, but above all, an album that leaves its mark.

EXUMER – Death Mask Messiah

The Germans have crafted an album that goes beyond a successful revival, standing instead as a testament to clarity, confidence, and mastery.

CEREMONIAL WORSHIP – Between Sleep and Death

This Greek one-man band carries on the tradition with a sound that remains firmly rooted in the classic Hellenic black metal formula, while still displaying a fair amount of personality.

HULDER – Verbolgen

One of the most talented modern black metal acts is back with an album that doesn’t revolutionize its sound, but rather refines it and further cements its place among the best of the modern scene.
