Something to stir the blood in your veins. |  | Devil
Album review by on 2012-12-23
In a period where some of the major occult rock bands are going uphill in terms of ambitiousness, Norway’s Devil prefer to stick to the basics of the genre, doing a great job in the process. |
 | Mistress

Grind back and forth, all day long. |  | Orion
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2012-12-18
Orion concede too much to a vocal presence and, in doing so, lose a sharp edge they once held in a crowded metal underground. |
 | Circle of Contempt
Album review by Robert Garland on 2012-12-18
EP’s are meant to be short… and it’s a shame |  | Make Them Suffer
Album review by Robert Garland on 2012-12-18
Ideas are always a good thing, but without the proper execution the affair sounds confused. Worlds collide where there is no victor. |
 | Golden Void

Highly familiar and entertaining record. |  | Evoken

Sing; M-E-T-A-L, for metal! |
 | A Lot Like Birds
Album review by Charlie / iChuckles on 2012-12-10
Post-hardcore rockers A Lot Like Birds take an otherwise stagnating genre into new and exciting directions. |  | Incantation
Album review by Robert Garland on 2012-12-10
And after all these years… |
 | Toby Lightman
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2012-12-10
With a warm, soulful voice and catchy, upbeat melodies rooted in pop from days gone by, it's hard not to fall in love with Toby Lightman and her snowy-themed EP. |  | Funeral Mist
Album review by Robert Garland on 2012-12-09
Maranatha is everything you expect from a black metal record; unfortunately its ability to stick strictly to the formula is also its biggest downfall. |
 | El-Creepo!
Album review by Hot Chocolate on 2012-12-08
It's a box of chocolates, but luckily there's no coconut in any of them.... |  | Green Day
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2012-12-07
The last stand. |
 | Grand Magus
Album review by Robert Garland on 2012-12-06
This is a start of an era. Enter the Gauntlet. |  | DOOM VS
Album review by Robert Garland on 2012-12-06
Monolithic in nature, but DOOM:VS fails to completely transcend the genre. |
 | The Advaita Concept
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2012-12-05
Another one for the trash heap. |  | Primal Scream
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2012-12-05
Hard wired Primal Scream. |
 | Coffins

Japanese doom sludge filled coffin. |  | Bosse-de-Nage
Album review by Robert Garland on 2012-11-30
Hold on a second, this isn’t Deafheaven rather, it’s an act to itself. |
 | Cyclamen (JPN)
Album review by Simon K. on 2012-11-30
A great debut album. |  | Until Death Overtakes Me
