Dragon Skull - Chaos Fire Vengeance

 

Genre: Heavy

1. Brethren
2. Dragon Riders
3. Skull Crusher
4. War Drums
5. Nampat
6. Skeleton Hand
7. Shield Maiden
8. Blood And Souls



Debut album by Dragon Skull. Across these eight smartly compact songs, Dragon Skull moves seamlessly between more epic-leaning doom pacing and speedier crushers. The album over all is boisterous, electrifying, and just straightforward heaviness. It dips into fantasy stories about war, emperors, gods, etc.

Century - Sign Of The Storm

 

Genre: Heavy
Country: Sweden
Year: 2025


1. Sacrifice
2. Children Of The Past
3. Necromancer
4. The Chains Of Hell
5. Fallen Hero
6. Sign Of The Storm
7. Fly Away
8. No Time For Tomorrow
9. Possessed By The Night
10. Sorceress



2nd album by Century. Century may sound like coming directly from the early '80s but the band is not living in the past, instead they try to open new paths and pave them with their own vision of heavy metal music. The past lives, and it conquers, with 'Sign of the Storm' – if 'The Conquest of Time' had you hooked, its follow-up is a must-have!

Captain Hawk - Ghosts Of The Sea


Genre: Folk/Power
Country: Greece
Year: 2024


1. Northern Winds

3. In The Captain's Quarters
4. The Crone
5. Get The Pistol!
6. Ghosts Of The Sea

9. Daughters Of The Ocean
10. Coming Home


Debut album by Captain Hawk, a project by Bob Katsionis (Outloud, ex-Firewind, etc.) and Elina Egglezou (Goditha). It’s very much the kind of album, a rock opera, that works best when treated as a whole, and with lyrics on hand, as the story and vocal performances (7 different vocalists) are the highlights, followed closely by the folk and symphonic elements, while the metal portions are well done.

It’s a great testosterone driven experience that will satisfy anyone who is heavily into bands like Speedwolf, Midnight, Hellripper, Wraith, Bütcher, etc.

Chainsaw - Satan

 

Genre: Black/Thrash
Country: Greece
Year: 2024


1. Mentor Of The Tormentor
2. Burn His Corpse
3. Boiling Cauldron
4. Death By 69
5. Cry Blood
6. Satan
7. Go For The Throat
8. Amok
9. The Dead Watch You
10. Full Of Evil



3rd album by Chainsaw, 7 years after their last one. Thick bass lines, energizing guitars and hooligan vocal lines along with intensely maltreated drums set the pace, all so well thrown in the boiling cauldron in which Chainsaw composed the ten tracks the album features that makes 'Satan' an almost 40 minutes of aggressive pleasure, a crescendo of brutality and thrash 'n' roll.

Auriferous Flame - The Insurrectionists And The Caretakers

 

Genre: Black
Country: Greece
Year: 2024




1. The Insurrectionists
2. The Caretakers
3. An Oration To The Storm





3rd album by Auriferous Flame. The songs here are very much in line with second-wave black metal, recalling Emperor or early Satyricon with sprawling arrangements and some moody interludes. It’s explosive in it passion and storming in its black/thrashing intensity, but also remarkably elaborate, technically eye-popping, and at times surprisingly atmospheric.

Armory - Black Star 'Ep

 

Genre: Speed
Country: Sweden
Year: 2025




1. Black Star
2. Solar Winds









2-track 'Ep by Armory. Speed is once again king here, reminiscent of the more aggressive and dark '80s speed metal while still offering a melodic edge so as to draw in potential listeners who could be unsuspectingly brought over to the dark side.

They are are making black metal for a modern world, one with a sense of scale and grandeur but never stepping back from intensity and darkness.

4th album by Wraith. It is a very fun and enjoyable album all the way through, constantly delivering headbanging tunes and still staying rotten to the core with its power and pain. The final result is a very solid and kickass 45-minute release by a band such as Wraith, that knows how to do things around here, without any pretentiousness or display of lackluster nature.
