New Metal Releases April 18th 2025
Exterminatus - Tribunal - Red Moon Architect - SVNTH - Crypts of Despair - Dormant Ordeal - Karg - Lik - Ancestor of Kaos - And More...
Stand outs this week:
Exterminatus: Third album from Canadian tech death band featuring technical, progressive, and melodic elements blending them all very well.
SVNTH: Post black metal from Italy. From their Bandcamp page: “The new studio effort of the Rome-based outfit SVNTH is the second chapter of the band’s own “trilogy of colors” and marks a distinctive evolution in terms of sound and personality toward a one of a kind direction completely free from any label or genre imposition.”
Maestitia: Debut album from French melodic blackened death metal band. Sounds promising so far.
Also looking forward to: Red Moon Architect - Dormant Ordeal - I Am Your God - Burning the Oppressor
