Morthus – Into Oblivion

Posted on July 20, 2015July 20, 2015by Metal-Exposure

Can you really go off track with an EP that features melodic black/death metal, inspired by first class Swedish acts, such as Dissection, Naglfar and Dark Funeral? There are two answers to this question.. Read all!

Powerwolf – Blessed & Possessed

Posted on July 15, 2015by Metal-Exposure

A corpsepainted band using a lot of Latin and singing about vampires, werewolves, hallelujas and Mother Mary will make you associate them with Black Metal sooner than Power Metal, until you put on one of their albums. Read about that!

Tharapitha – Ülestõus

Posted on July 13, 2015July 13, 2015by Metal-Exposure

Thundering, galloping riffs, brutal vocals and war-like anthems. The deity Taarapita (the Estonian god of thunder) would be proud of his worshippers, the pagan metal band Tharapitha. Ülestõus, meaning uprising, is the bands fifth full-length offering and it was released about a year ago. Most of us all familiar with (the highly appreciated) Skyforger, but […]

Vattnet Viskar – Settler

Posted on June 28, 2015June 28, 2015by Metal-Exposure

About two years ago, I became acquainted with the American black metal formation Vattnet Viskar (the water whispers), when yours truly reviewed their debut album Sky Swallower. It was a good, atmospheric black metal effort. The only fear I had was that this band might not stand out among the already established groups in the […]

Paradise Lost – The Plague Within

Posted on June 11, 2015by Metal-Exposure

Belated slightly? Yes. But we could not refrain from reviewing the 13th album of the legendary Paradise Lost. While neither being a big or familiar fan of their earlier work, I happily took on the Plague based on their gruesomely beautiful front cover. I got infected.. Read all!

Shape of Despair – Monotony Fields

Posted on June 10, 2015June 10, 2015by Metal-Exposure

Every now and then, it is inevitable that you come across an album that you are reluctant to review. Whether it is the style, your mood, or life, the universe and everything else. When a band manages to make that feeling disappear, it’s a damn good sign. This happened when Monotony Fields of the Finnish […]

Voltumna – Disciplina Etrusca

Posted on June 4, 2015by Metal-Exposure

If the supreme god Voltumna of the Etruscans demands a listen, we may experience a slight tugging of our blackened souls at Metal Exposure. Who knows, maybe these Italian blackened death demons capture our souls into worshipping this foreign and forgotten deity.. Read all!

Katechon – Coronation

Posted on May 26, 2015by Metal-Exposure

Trondheim-based black/death metallers Katechon recently released their sophomore full-length Coronation. On this record, the Norwegians demonstrate excellent skill in combining destructive, yet sometimes catchy death metal oriented drums with ferocious, atonal raw black metal elements.. Read all!

Carthagods

Posted on May 19, 2015May 19, 2015by Metal-Exposure

It seems that in the last years metal bands from the African continent are steadily leaving their mark on the international metal scene. The Tunesian heavy metal formation Carthagods has existed for over seventeen years, but not until recently the band released their self titled debut record.. Read all!

Kamelot – Haven

Posted on May 15, 2015August 4, 2015by Metal-Exposure

It is not that often that I come across a record that I can keep listening to over and over again. Kamelot’s latest installment, Haven, is one of those records. With a band like Kamelot, it’s hard not to mention the past. The band had some ups-and-downs, and seemed to be regaining their strength after […]
