  Artist: Revolting Origin: Sweden Label: Xtreem Music Released: June 4, 2026 Genre: Death Metal / Old-School Death Metal 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..Tha...

Artist: Teratoma Origin: Berlin, Germany Label: Me Saco Un Ojo Records Released: March 25, 2026 Genre: Old-School Death Metal Rating: 7.2/10 Listen/Buy: Bandcamp Never heard of Teratoma before this one landed on my radar. Teratoma are a death metal band from Berlin and this is their second album, out on Me Saco Un Ojo. And yeah , this hits. Right from when the title track kicks in after the short intro, there's a weight to it that grabs you. The rhythm section is tight, the riffs are good and they stick. Mid-paced, heavy, no bullshit. Exactly what you want from this kind of death metal. Chaotic Bewilderment is the standout for me. It's got a momentum that sets it apart, and then out of nowhere there's a guitar solo I genuinely didn't see coming. Small moment maybe, but that's the kind of thing that makes you pay attention. Circle of Perdition and Festering Realm hit hard too. The short atmospheric break on Interim is a nice breather before the album...

Artist: Gluttony Origin: Sundsvall, Sweden Label: F.D.A. Records Released: March 13, 2026 Genre: Old-School Death Metal Rating: 8/10 Gluttony have been doing this since 2009, and Eulogy to Blasphemy is their fourth full-length. I'll be honest.I came in expecting another competent-but-forgettable OSDM record. What I got instead was an album that actually got under my skin. The thing that hits first, and keeps hitting, is the atmosphere. This record is genuinely dark in a way that feels earned rather than performed. There's a claustrophobic weight to it, like the songs are closing in on you rather than just blasting past. A lot of bands in this lane go for sheer speed and volume and call it a day. Gluttony are more patient than that. The tempos shift, the mood thickens, and by the midpoint of the album you're properly buried in it. Magnus Ödling's vocals are a big reason why. Mid-range growls are his bread and butter, but he's not monotonous about it. T...
