Thank you NO CLEAN SINGING for this premiere and fantastic write up of the new Mnajdra / Saħħar split. Out now!

Today we proudly present a full stream of an album-length split by two very talented black metal bands, MNAJDRA (U.S.) and Saħħar (Malta), in advance of its co-release by Snow Wolf Records and Fiadh Productions. It is a concept record that re-tells the Great Siege of Malta in the 16th Century, in which the Ottoman Empire unsuccessfully sought to defeat the Knights of Malta (who were then occupying the island) and seize it for themselves. As Islander writes in his extensive accompanying review, it's a fascinating and completely captivating album -- and you can hear it via the comment link below.

Here is one hell of an endorsement for Thumos “Trial of Socrates”

Hudba, která hmotný svět mění v prázdnou iluzi a vy se ocitáte v Platónově slavné alegorii jeskyně, ve světě věčných, neměnných, dokonalých a nehmotných forem – ve světě idejí.

An excellent write up for Thumos from the always knowledgeable progressor.net. Thank you!

Mini-review - Thumos: The Trial of Socrates (2025)

US project Thumos are out with the album "The Trial of Socrates", and I suspect that progressive metal is the best manner in which to categorize the landscapes explored on this production. This is a thematic double album filled with instrumental music, a description that will be tantalizing for some and not so much for others. The compositions are generally atmospheric laden affairs, often with a flow, momentum and an ebb and flow structure fans of the post-rock tradition will recognize. That we get textures and overlays with a clear orientation towards that style of music merits a mention too I suspect. We also get a liberal array of delicate, firm and plucked guitar motifs throughout, some of them with a little bit of a world music feel to them, and some of them actually being rather energetic in approach and ex*****on too. Otherwise wee have bombastic arrangements with more of a doom metal feel, more intense parts where a higher tempo and intensity adds a bit of an extreme metal flavoring to the proceedings, and plenty of more atmospheric laden sequences where plucked guitars, guitar riffs and keyboards combine in a few different manners. With a little bit of a flirt with atonal notes and noise textures along the way. This is a sprawling creation on several levels, and a bit of a treat to those who enjoy atmospheric laden instrumental progressive metal of the kind that incorporate everything from ethereal dreamladen moments to slight steps inside of the extreme metal spectrum with regular stops and check ins with doom metal and post-rock along the way.
