The 7th Guild. A brand-new massive Italian collective of eight professional adepts of the art of Power Metal. Well, the project in itself is not that brand new, apparently. Tomi Fooler (SkeleToon) started the action back in 2021. But it is only this February 2025 that the first full-length album Triumviro will see the light of day. In other words, this burgeoning gang of band members stayed undercover for a while, methinks. So much so that even the mighty Metal Archives don’t sport an entry for the band yet at the time of writing this review. And that means … [...] Click to raid more!

Maceration - Serpent Devourment - Album Cover

Rogga Johannson anybody? The RMR crew feared for a moment that the geek-in-chief of Swedeath is on the prowl again. But not so. Instead, we’re faced with an archaic and primordial version of Death Metal brutality. With some – Cthulhu-esque thing from the deep watching you from the cover with evil, hungry, and alien eyes.

And yes, we’re talking about Maceration. An age-old band torturing our eardrums since 1990. A band offering fake Swedish fare because they actually hail from – Denmark? Correct, geographically speaking, but not so fast. Thus, let’s take a step back. After 1995, the band … [...] Click to raid more!

2024 brought us our share of French Black Metal already. Seth and Corpus Diavolis are just two of them. Powerful occult Black Metal pieces that will beat the fear of Lucifer into you. Some of it is presented in French, no less. An attribute that the RMR crew has trouble resisting. Extreme Metal works best in that specific language. Latin-based, Luciferian, just good. Even if Satan – apparently – resides somewhere in London.

But we got ourselves other flavors, too. A band bizarrely named Ecr.Linf1 offers an equally bizarre Black and Post Black Metal fest. Belluaires struggles against – … [...] Click to raid more!

Paganizer - Flesh Requiem - Album Cover

We already heard from Rogga Johansson this year. Thorium‘s the name of the band and the man assisted with guitars and riffs, so I understand. A bastardly thingy that finally found our good graces somewhere down the road.

And as no year can pass by without multiple Rogga attacks, here he returns with his flagship act Paganizer. And we’re again in the meat packers’ district. Albeit, questions remain about what meat should be on the menu. The piece’s title – Flesh Requiem – made us throw a few pinches of salt over our shoulders. Remember, already Beyond the … [...] Click to raid more!
