Review: Nightbearer – Defiance
“Defiance” is a hammer blow wrapped in poetry, part chainsaw-death, part atmospheric lament, testifying that Nightbearer are more than just worshippers of old Swedish death—they are its sharper, angrier evolution. The album stumbles just a few times in pacing and mix, but even those stumbles are over terrains of riffs and ideas worth stumbling over.
Review: Blossom Decay – Sorrow Falls
“Sorrow Falls” thrives on contrast, swinging from violent breakdowns to brittle interludes that feel like open wounds briefly exposed. It’s raw, uneven, and imperfect, but Blossom Decay’s honesty and urgency make it an EP worth bleeding with.

Review: Obstruktion – The End Takes Form
Obstruktion’s second full-length shreds complacency: nine tracks packed with riffs that scrape and bite, breakdowns that collapse the air, and uncanny atmosphere that lingers long after the storm has passed. “The End Takes Form” erupts as a roar of metallic hardcore tempered with death metal’s …
Review: Amorphis – Borderland
Amorphis return with “Borderland”, a record that favours refinement over upheaval. It may not shock, but its balance of melody, atmosphere, and weight proves the band’s mastery is far from fading.
