Svnth – Pink Noise Youth Review
Have you ever longed for a cold stream on a hot day? Fresh air after rain? Perhaps the fourth album from Italian blackgaze shapeshifters, Svnth, will be what you seek. Lady Inksterium certainly thinks that flower fields everywhere should be in danger. But frolicking is not a crime!

Fleshgod Apocalypse – Opera Review
There will always be a special place in Cosmo’s heart for Fleshgod Apocalypse, since it was one of the first bands that he fell in love with in his formative years. But will their latest aria bridge the gap between fanbat and metal connoisseur?

Cancervo – III Review
Everyone has a to do list. Mine includes the item “listen to more doom metal”. That’s why when I saw we had promo from a stoner doom band named Cancervo, I stuck my hand up. Did Anti-Peat end up happily stoned?

Hadit – Metaphysical Engines Approaching the Event Horizon Review
When it comes to blackened death metal, a band needs to stand out from the rest of the crowd if it’s going to impress people given how saturated the subgenre has become in recent years. Enter Hadit. Will this Italian band travel far, or be swallowed by the blackened death metal hole?
