Every new year tends to have a handful of tentpole releases that enable the year to ring in with a strong presence out of the underground, and it was already the case that we knew 2026 would be no different. … Continue reading Fuath – III
We could sit here all day and all night arguing the semantics of the strict definitions of what a specific genre should and what it brings to the table, and I feel quite confident that we wouldn’t really make much … Continue reading Blackbraid – Blackbraid III
It’s in many instances that we’ve seen all sorts of different acts come around to offer us a new vision of what metal can be in the hands of the dedicated and imaginative, yet, understandably, such creations are few and … Continue reading King Witch – III
It is more than natural for any given band to want to expand their sound in one form or another, but then the question always remains: where do you take it? The more straightforward act seeks to become more proficient … Continue reading From the Ages – III
At some point, it stands to reason that the more a band puts out in a relatively short amount of time will result in less than satisfactory creations as time goes on. It’s something that has befouled many, many names … Continue reading Eaters of the Soil – Eaters of the Soil EP III

I’ve never heard of Xerath before and I really wish I have. Apparently their new album “III” releases this Tuesday on their Bandcamp page and I cannot wait judging by their single “I Hold Dominion”. It has amazing sound to it. With the use of the atmospheric sounds that are used much more heavily by “epic” metal bands, Xerath made it not so dominate but made it a sort of background noise much like what Alestorm did in their debut “Captain Morgan’s Revenge” where it was utilized to the point that it made the songs more epic when mixed with the guitars and vocals. … Continue reading Xerath – I Hold Dominion (single)
