New Metal Releases February 14th 2025

Dawn of Solace - Kryptan - Throne - Hangman's Chair - Lacuna Coil - Obscureviolence - Rioghan - And More...

Stand outs this week:

• Dawn of Solace - This was initially listed here a few weeks ago but I either got the date wrong or it was pushed back. It is actually coming out this week. I am a huge fan of everything Tuomas Saukkonen has done (Before the Dawn, Wolfheart, Black Sun Aeon) so anything he releases I am completely on board for. Dawn of Solace is closer to the sound of Before the Dawn than his other projects. When he was writing music for BTD’s 3rd album he had some songs that were darker than he wanted for BTD so he decided to start a completely different project and Dawn of Solace was born.

• Fractured Insanity - Fifth album from Brutal Tech Death band out of Belgium

Also looking forward to: Kryptan - Decline of the I - Nolove - Obscureviolence - Ashes of Old - Morbid - Sin of God
