Worm – Necropalace Review
Release Date: February 13, 2026 Label: Century Media Country: USA Genre: Black/Death/Doom Metal Moving away from the murky depths of the swamp, Worm have relocated to an ancient vampiric castle overflowing with fog.

MØL – Dreamcrush Review
Release Date: January 30, 2026 Label: Nuclear Blast Records Country: Denmark Genre: Post-Black Metal/Shoegaze Words truly cannot do this album justice. MØL have fully mastered the language of emotion with their 3rd full-length album, Dreamcrush. As strong as their previous releases Jord (2019) and Diorama (2021) are, Dreamcrush somehow manages to surpass both in musicality…

Mayhem – Liturgy of Death Review
Century Media, released on 6 February 2026 Two thoughts kept bouncing around my head as I listened to the new Mayhem album, Liturgy of Death; firstly, ‘no compromise’. This album makes no concessions to anyone, except the musicians themselves. That, as a result, leaves the album in danger of ‘polarising’ the fan base. It is…

Justin’s 2025 in Review
It’s hard to believe 2025 is already over. It’s truly been a blur. Lots of great things happened, but so did lots of truly awful ones. It kind of puts 2025 somewhere near the middle in my rankings of best and worst years of my life. Regardless of how my personal life is going, or…

Brent’s Best of 2025
I’ve probably purchased more new-release vinyl this year than most. Funny enough, most of the albums were technically released more than a year ago, and the vinyl just took some time to produce (I’ve heard wait times at pressing plants are pretty crazy these days). So putting together this list was kind of difficult, as I…

Lamp of Murmuur – The Dreaming Prince in Ecstacy
November 14th will see the end of a two year hibernation from Lamp of Murmuur with M’s new album “The Dreaming Prince in Extacy”. Lamp of Murmuur is one of my favorite current USBM bands with the “Burning Spears of Crimson Agony” and “Submission and Slavery” as true genre highlights. Both bearing a uniquely savage…
