New Metal Releases March 14th 2025
Dessiderium - Hanging Garden - Purified in Blood - CrusHuman - Warhammer - Helvitnir - Rhûn - Cartilage - And More...
Stand outs this week:
Dessiderium - Sole member and founder, Alex Haddad, shared his thoughts about Keys to the Palace: "This album was ten plus years in the making. A lot of the material here actually precedes that of the two previous releases. Completing this record means giving closure to this era of Dessiderium that has spanned across my twenties, and I see it as a well suited final chapter to this period. The two previous albums, Shadow Burn and Aria, provided no happy ending. They were both about defeat in their own way. Keys to the Palace reaches for triumph. This is an album about time travel that explores the polarity between past and future, innocence and disillusion, faith and despair, and adolescence and adulthood."
Hanging Garden - Delving deeper into the rituals, beliefs and existential concepts intrinsic to the nature of humanity and its cultures, HANGING GARDEN continues the thematic continuum of their previous full-length album, "The Garden". Their latest work, a mini-album bearing the name "The Unending", is a four song entity, its thematic focal points those of perseverance and the occult, of returning to a harmony with nature and the remorseless forces therein.
Helvitnir - First full length album from all-star band with members and former members of Mayhem, Ragnarok, Bloodthorn and Myronath.
Also looking forward to: Temair - Warbringer - Déhà - Thy Next Foe
