Extreme is the way

ENSLAVED – Heimdal

After more than three decades of a solid, unmistakable identity, you wouldn’t expect a moniker to reinvent itself—but Heimdal shatters expectations once again.

THE ABBEY – Word of Sin

Word of Sin is a perfect blend of ’70s prog rock influenced by King Crimson and doom metal in the style of Candlemass, offering the listener a mystical experience.

HØSTSOL – Länge Leve Döden

The right balance between beauty and violence in a restless equilibrium. This could sum up the concept that defines Høstsol and their achievement in this album.

OBITUARY – Dying of Everything

John Tardy’s band remains firmly rooted in its identity, sticking to its signature style and never straying from the classic Florida old-school metal that defined them.

NILE – Annihilation of the Wicked

The giants from Greenville have become an institution in the most technical and brutal death metal. And this album marked their breakthrough.

MACABRE OMEN – Gods of War – At War

It is impossible not to mention, when talking about Greek black metal, Alexandros Antoniou and his epic black metal band. His masterpiece, released in 2015, can be considered one of the best albums in its genre

INTERNAL BLEEDING – Voracious Contempt

New York’s underground scene has always thrived, particularly within the death metal realm, spawning countless bands and landmark releases. Among these stands Voracious Contempt, widely regarded as a forerunner of the slam sound.
