Smohalla – Ruina Draconis Review

October 22, 2025October 19, 2025 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

It’s always struck Anti-Peat as interesting how labels like avant-garde stop being a descriptor of being on the edge and become a set established sound of their own within a genre. Travel down the ruined dragon’s hole.

Morke – To Carry On Review

October 10, 2025October 12, 2025 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

As Obsequiae have proved, flavoring your metal with some medievalism works. Now Morke’s mastermind Eric Wing is seeking to carry on growing that new tradition with their fourth album To Carry On. Time to dust off your chainmail and give this a spin.

Amorphis – Borderland Review

October 6, 2025October 5, 2025 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

Being a metalhead of the generation that recognizes “Black Winter Day” within seconds, Anti-Peat has always had an interest in what Amorphis are doing. But when they enter the progressive borderlands of taste, will they still make him feel the deathly chills?

Krigsgrav – Stormcaller Review

September 25, 2025September 28, 2025 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

“Stormcaller jumps from genre to genre as the mood takes it, and it is highly impressive how seamless those jumps are”, Anti-Peat jots down in his notebook stained with metal salad and dirt from Texan trenches, wishing someone would just shoot at him through the thick atmosphere.

Medieval Demon – All Powers of Darkness Review

September 23, 2025September 23, 2025 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

If there is one thing that has changed about me since first being summoned to the Goat Review ranks, it is an ever deepening fascination with Greek black metal. It should therefore surprise nobody that my first act at the end of our summer break was to claim Medieval Demon. One evil gyro, coming right up.

Arkhaaik – Uihtis Review

September 9, 2025September 7, 2025 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

Arkhaaik’s pitch of bronze age hunting metal, complete with lyrics written in Proto-Indo-European, is one that naturally attracts skepticism. Spears up, y’all.

Fell Omen – Caelid Dog Summer Review

September 5, 2025September 7, 2025 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

Fell Omen sound like early Iron Maiden got very stoned, broke into a LARP, stole everyone’s gear and caused a giant brawl. Get vigor-checked by Caelid’s annoying giant dogs.

Trivax – The Great Satan Review

September 4, 2025September 3, 2025 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

Whatever the reason, Trivax’s The Great Satan was a must check for me. So now we’re here, what’s there to be said about Trivax’s gentle critique of Ayatollah Khomeini’s policies through the medium of equally gentle music?

For The Pyres – At The Pyres Of Sin Review

August 29, 2025August 28, 2025 Reviewed by Anti-Peat No comments

Swedish debutants For the Pyres might be 400 km away from the capital but you can instantly hear the inspiration for much of At the Pyres of Sin. Chainsaws and meth.
