Metal Exposure

The compositions are of very high quality and both vocalists, together in songs or performing alone, make sure that there is more then plenty to discover. Neo-classical is a niche within the huge variety of genres. If you are adventurous and have an open mind (and maybe are a bit tired of listening metal): get yourself a copy as soon as possible. Limited to a hundred copies I reckon this album will soon be sold out.

A short while ago I reviewed the last album of Xiphos (see: here). A great album consisting of a blend of Martial and Neo-classical tunes. Both vocalists, namely Troy Southgate and Miklos Hoffer, have another project. In June this year they released Vondel’s Lucifer: Second Movement, the follow up...

We thoroughly enjoyed “I Feel The Everblack Festering In Me”. Every track is excellent, the production is heavy yet crystal clear and the album itself is an emotional rollercoaster. In the future, when pursuing this course, repetition lurks, but this is not the case at this moment since every song stands on its own, yet fitst the whole. Lorna Shore still holds the banner of Deathcore.

More than five years ago I reviewed Lorna Shore‘s “Immortal”. Since then Will Ramos stepped in as vocalist and the band has risen to great heights and played larger and larger venues. Together with a lot of exposure on social media they build op a vast discography aiming for the top of the gen...

Slowly, the grounds fill. Familiar faces hug each other.
The setting feels almost like a garden party, yet beneath the surface bubbles something dark, something that could erupt at any moment.....

August 30&31 2025 DB’s Utrecht by: Nanette   Slowly, the grounds fill. Familiar faces hug each other. The setting feels almost like a garden party, yet beneath the surface bubbles something dark, something that could erupt at any moment. Sound blasts through the air. Even in the full sun, the unb...

When the journey of this album is over I can only conclude that Der Weg einer Freiheit has delivered one hell of an album, albeit a bit on the short side. At times it’s raw but in general it is a very emotional and well thought and worked out (post)Black Metal album. There is so much depth in this album that it will take countless spins to fully grasp what is provided on this album. And the compositions are top notch.

It must have been ten years ago that I witnessed Der Weg Einer Freiheit live at Eindhoven Metal Meeting. They made a very good impression but somehow they must have been swept under my radar. Until I bought “Noktvrn” (2021) which made such an impression that I was eager to hear their next album....

Six years off, no momentum lost. Trivia Goddess by Year Of The Goat is rangy, ritualistic, and sharp with purpose — their most melodic work to date, but also their most thematically loaded. It’s doom with a feminist spine and no fear of a catchy chorus. A real gem, and one I’ll be coming back to often.

Year of the Goat’s Trivia Goddess is a feminist occult rock album with real teeth. Full track-by-track review — from ritual to cowbell and back.

Auri’s third album, “III: Candles & Beginnings”, is a testament to what happens when three distinct musical minds come together without compromise. It’s not a concept album, and it doesn’t pretend to be. Instead, it’s a patchwork of personal stories, moods, and textures. With each track shaped by the member who composed it. That means not every song will resonate with every listener, but it also means there’s something here for everyone.

This edition of Satanik Supremacy was fun. A diverse line up, great atmosphere and a cool audience made sure this was a really cool evening. Mark Knobbe: thanks for organising this once again making such an event possible (albeit with a little help of Satan ;)), we can’t wait for the next one! All hail to Satanic Supremacy!

The wait is over….Satanic Supremacy is back with its fourth edition! It must have been that Satan himself stepped in and was involved raising this gathering from the ground because the wait was endless. Luckily, the wait is over. So I combed my hair, polished my hooves, brushed my fangs and went o...

Here we go again! Back to one of Germany’s most infamous festivals: the legendary Party.San Metal Open Air. “Welcome to Hell” and “Hell is Here” aren’t just slogans — they’re a promise. At Party San, good intentions stay at the gates. We make bad decisions, meet old and new friends, hang disco balls on anything we can, and inevitably end up dancing to ABBA 😉.
