New Metal Releases May 23rd 2025

Walg - ...And Oceans - Unmerciful - As The Sun Falls - Fragments of Unbecoming - Ossuary - Undecayed - Bærzerk - and much more...

Stand outs this week:

• Walg - I discovered this band last year when IV came out and bought their entire discography shortly after. Despair, loathing, gloom & melancholy are the main ingredients for their unique blend of emotional black metal.

• Feversea - Debut album from post metal band out of Oslo, Norway drawing on influences from black metal, sludge metal and shoegaze.

Also looking forward to: …And Oceans - Unmerciful - Fragments of Unbecoming - Crust
