Saor - Amidst The Ruins


Genre: Black/Folk
Country: Scotland
Year: 2025



1. Amidst The Ruins
2. Echoes Of The Ancient Land
3. Glen Of Sorrow
4. The Sylvan Embrace
5. Rebirth





6th album by Saor. This album is an atmospheric musical journey through the hills and valleys of ancient Scotland. It is a blackened and melancholic album with songs that are an ode to heritage and a tribute to Scotland’s endless landscapes. Reflecting the roughness of nature as well as its beauty is what resonates throughout 'Amidst the Ruins' from beginning to end.

Cradle Of Filth - The Screaming Of The Valkyries

 

Genre: Black/Gothic
Country: England
Year: 2025


1. To Live Deliciously
2. Demagoguery
3. The Trinity Of Shadows
4. Non Omnis Moriar
5. White Hellebore
6. You Are My Nautilus
7. Malignant Perfection
8. Ex Sanguine Draculae
9. When Misery Was A Stranger



15th album by Cradle Of Filth. Freshening up their original sound by adding new layers and streamlining other areas makes 'The Screaming of the Valkyries' an essential addition to the Cradle canon. It contains enough for the die-hard fans with enough nostalgic elements and by incorporating more diverse elements, such as the dual vocals and switches produce enough buckets of blood for their newer victims.

Pokolgép - Vissza Sose Nézz

 

Genre: Heavy/Speed
Country: Hungary
Year: 2024


1. Vissza Sose Nézz
2. Tilos Csillagon

15th album by Pokolgép, 9 years after their last one. It is a consistently great album! Kukovecz and fellow guitarist Zalán Kiss have stuffed the album with great riffs and lead guitar and the songwriting is so memorable and fresh that it never feels like you’re listening to a band well into the fourth decade of its career.

Aardvark - Tough Love

 

Genre: Heavy
Country: Australia
Year: 2024



1. Ankh
2. Tough Love
3. Don't Call Me A Liar
4. Fire
5. Destructor
6. Fight Back
7. Killer
8. The Dream Is Nearly Over
9. Too Old To Cry



Debut album by Aardvark. There’s a tight, cohesiveness to their music that’d make one think they’d be seasoned vets, and not on their first album. 9 tracks of early '80s heavy metal worship, 'Tough Love' seems to be dipping their toes into the NWOBHM more so than the American scene of the early '80s.

Medieval Steel - Blood Moon

 

Genre: Heavy/Power
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2024



1. Death Neves Dies
2. War Cry
3. Pain Maker
4. Eye Of The Raven
5. Viking Wishing Well
6. Sword Of The King
7. Death Or Victory
8. Blood Moon
9. Eternal Enemy
10. Into The Madness


3rd album by Medieval Steel. The band sounds sharp and tight, vocalist Bobby Franklin can still get it done, and that classic US metal sound is solidly in place. That said, the songwriting is weaker this time out, with more repetition and vocal lines that are not as good to start with and don't benefit from being repeated too many times. This is not a bad album, but it can't match what this band has done before.

Ice War - Feel The Steel

 

Genre: Heavy/Epic
Country: Canada
Year: 2025



1. Feel The Steel
2. Venom
3. Red Fire
4. Memories
5. Choice Is Ours
6. Shine Bright
7. Life In Waste
8. Lost To The Void
9. Damnation



7th album by Ice War. You can hear some Maidenesque gallops, some hard rockish and even rock-style melodies that take you back a few decades, some '80s-style more commercial melodies can be found here as well, very catchy stuff. But there's an undeniable epic heavy metal feel throughout most of the album, and that will immediately remind you of a number of more modern epic heavy metal bands that have been gracing our ears in the past 15-20 years.
