Reinvigorated by the positive response to their 2023 album Himmelfahrt, the German folk metal band came back from near death for their 15th studio effort.
Epitaph, Path To Oblivion (My Kingdom):
The Italian doom metal band’s first album with new singer Ricky Dal Pane, their latest album is described as “a dark path between Doom Metal, Dark Music, Progressive and Esoteric music.”
Pandemic, Phantoms (Dying Victims):
According to the Dying Victims Bandcamp, the Polish band’s second album “marries thrashing riffs to a dynamic style of metal that indeed speeds from time to time but, more often than not, has the gleaming contours and drama of paradigmatic ‘80s power-thrash.”
