Rating: 7/10
Listen/Buy: Bandcamp

Supernatural Anthems doesn't try to reinvent anything. This is straight up Swedish death metal , delivered with confidence, experience and a clear love for the genre. Fast parts, raw riffs and brutal vocals exactly where they should be.And there is even a darker, heavier side to it, where certain tracks are infused by the doom territory and give the whole thing some extra weight.

The guitar work is really good ,the riffs are aggressive and catchy at the same time, and the melodic death metal elements give the songs more character than pure brutality alone. That comes through especially in "Dungeon Overture"  and A Midnight Massacare,tracks where the melodies really get to shine without the album losing its raw edge,  a midnight massacare is probably the most melodic track on the album , a highlight..That one hits hard and shows exactly what Revolting can do when brutality and melody work together. Drums and bass do a solid job driving everything forward. The whole thing feels tight, energetic and well produced.

The strongest tracks for me are the opener "Supernatural Anthems", which sets the tone perfectly with that classic old school death metal feel."Upon the Chopping Block" brings more of that doom-like heaviness, which gives the album a nice variation and a darker edge.

Production is exactly what it should be for this kind of record. Powerful, clear and raw enough to keep the old school feel, while every instrument comes through properly. Revolting knows exactly how this is supposed to sound, and it shows.

Supernatural Anthems doesn't try to push Swedish death metal forward ,and it doesn't need to. It delivers exactly what the fans want: short tracks, raw riffs, horror atmosphere, filthy vocals and enough melodic hooks to stick. Solid and entertaining from start to finish.

Rating: 7/10

I'll be spinning more albums — stay tuned!

Karmøygeddon Festival Report (2026)

  Three Days, 24 Bands and a Completely Wrecked Festival Weekend This weekend was exactly what festivals are supposed to be — long days, aching feet, little sleep, loud music, sore backs and massive concert experiences. Over three days I caught 24 bands, ranging from black metal and melodic death metal to progressive metal, hard rock and a few things that just didn't land for me at all. Some concerts were unforgettable. Some disappointed. Some surprised me completely. But overall, this was exactly the chaotic and memorable festival weekend I was hoping for. Thursday Thursday started strong. First up was Rioter, and they did exactly what an opening band should do. Young guys going in full energy from the first second and kicking off the festival with a bang. A fantastic start to the weekend. Next was Mayfire, a band I'd actually been looking forward to. Unfortunately this was one of the weaker sets of the day. The sound wasn't quite right and the vocals kept falling through ...

Zero Gravity – My Jeffrey Dahmer Review: Gothic Punk/Metalcore Single from Austria (2025)

 Zero Gravity - My Jeffrey Dahmer I recently received a very friendly request from the band Zero Gravity to review their latest single, and I was happy to give it a listen. From Innsbruck, Tyrol, Zero Gravity is a band that thrives on unpredictability. Formed by Dionys Dorner (vocals, guitar) and Daniel Berger (drums) in their teens, and joined by Christian Hubmann (bass, vocals), the trio has carved out a path defined by bold experimentation and a refusal to be boxed into a single genre. Their music blends punk, rock ‘n’ roll, grunge, and now gothic and metalcore elements, with a recurring “broken glam” aesthetic — raw, chaotic, yet undeniably engaging. Their latest single, “My Jeffrey Dahmer” , is a provocative, ironic take on love songs, using a shocking metaphor to explore romantic failure with absurdist and nihilist undertones. The track carries a bitter sense of humor, with chaotic shifts in tone and energy that mirror the tension of its lyrical themes. Dionys’s vocals, at t...

For Ruin – Painted in Colours of War Review: Melodic Blackened Death Metal (2026)

 My review on For Ruin - Painted in the colours of War Release : January 29th , 2026 Origin      : Cork , Ireland  Label      : Sentinel Records  Rating     : At The End Painted in the colours of War Painted In The Colours Of War is an album defined by atmosphere. From the very start , the mood is dark, heavy, and emotionally. This is not a record that rushes to impress,instead, it builds patiently , layer by layer, allowing tension and weight to accumulate before it finally releases. And when it does, it hits HARD . Musically, the album sits firmly within melodic blackened death metal . The guitars balance heaviness and melody well, creating riffs that feel both aggressive and expressive rather than purely technical. The drums are powerful and well-placed, giving the music a strong sense of drive without overwhelming the rest of the instrumentation. Everything feels intentional and controlled, yet never sterile. One of the key...
