Ancestor of Kaos – Animal Ritual
Initially from Havana, this Florida-based black metallic unit has arrived with its fourth album — bringing all shades of darkness to bear. Ancestor of Kaos performs with the professionalism of a festival-tier metallic band, however retains the hearth and fury of the underground all the identical. The band’s type of black metallic is distinctly Swedish, because the riffs and preparations all recall the work of Naglfar, Necrophobic and Dissection with refined hints of melodic dying metallic as properly.

Historic Demise – Ego Dissolution
I first heard about Historic Demise final yr whereas listening to the superb Demise Steel Podcast, and instantly knew there was one thing particular occurring with this band. In spite of everything, I’m a simple promote for something that mixes the ferocity of dying metallic with the overwhelming energy of doom metallic — however Historic Demise does it in a seamless manner that belies simple categorization into one cohort or one other. You’ll have seen a whole lot of hype round this band in the mean time. Maybe this has left you skeptical, as you might have been burned by the music journalist consensus prior to now. However belief me on this one, that is going to be top-tier album of 2025, as a result of Historic Demise is ready to turn out to be a top-tier dying metallic band for the 2020s.

Iron Lung – Adapting // Crawling
Oh rattling! It’s been a very long time since I’d heard that identify. I keep in mind loving White Glove Check when it got here out in 2013, so it’s nice to have one other serving of rage-induced powerviolence on our plates in 2025.

Wulkanaz – Luftuz
Wulkanaz was at all times an attention-grabbing challenge, however NOW it completely kicks ass. By a mixture of experimentation and dialing all the pieces in good, Magnus has discovered a wonderful steadiness of rawness and energy, metallic and punk, catchiness and weirdness and so forth. For anybody questioning “The place does uncooked black metallic go from right here?” — think about this one in every of many paths ahead.
