Declaring war from Mexico, the satanic guerrillero who goes by Tecuhtli Nexcoyotl lets his voice be heard with the latest full length album from his band Apocalyptic Noise dubbed, Sacrificios De Guerra. This is a blindingly noisy album with some intense production and hard hitting percussions that will literally rock you to your core. Taking…
Hailing from Turkey comes the debut release of Meluniblis titled Kill The Kuffar. This is a crushingly devastating war metal album, that heavily leans into the brutal death metal sound. Deep guttural vocals, wailing guitar riffs and some incredibly tight drumming and some cool production choices here and there certainly make for a memorable and…
The latest release from the mystical Telesterion. Continuing on their journey to uncover the Eleusinian mysteries, their latest release Myesis is very much a continuation of their first release, An Ear of Grain in Silence Reaped. Following much in the same ‘post-metal/prog-metal’ patterns, there’s something a bit more ethereal and doom laden with this release…
After a six year hiatus, the main brain behind the band Cober, Sheila Bommakanti returns with her latest EP titled Beautiful Dissent, a gorgeous practice and meditation with the rather underrated pedal steel guitar.

Hailing from Sweden comes the latest release from Ruohtta titled Uhratuille. From the raw production values to the otherworldly riffs, this EP is a masterclass in creating an immersive sonic landscape that transports the listener into ancient times with help of the Meänkieli and Sámi languages that the band uses. By embracing a more minimalist…
Hailing from the Louisiana underground comes doom maker, Sif and their latest release titled Darkstalker. This is a short, yet heavy EP with some crushing riffs and powerful production behind it. This is a textbook doom metal release and has all of the right elements to keep it fresh while still harkening back to the…
Debuting out of the Sydney underground comes the ethereal shoegaze/dream-pop band known as Eternal Dust and their debut full length Spiritual Healers, Defence Lawyers. Coming off of their previous self titled demo, they continue on the noisy and dreamy sounds they’ve conjured up on the previous release. This is a strong debut, with some solid…
Rushing forth from the Detroit metal underground comes Theophonos debut album Nightmare Visions. Being born from the ashes of the far reaching black metal act Serpent Column, Theophonos distinct themselves by taking on a more personal approach with the lyrics, and while having some similarities to the previous band, there’s a distinct sound to this…
