rýr - dislodged (2025 | Post-Metal | Moment of Collapse Records )
---
Just like the passive verb-forms in the tracklist, the music is so towering that you can't do anything against it and just let the album happen.

"dislodged" is like a monumental monochrome screensaver for your mind, that mesmerizes you from the first riffs of "flung" until the last sounds of "foiled" have faded out.

dislodged will surely stand tall among the many Post-Metal releases that will see the light of day in 2025.

Innerwoud - Dran (2025 | Ambient | Consouling Sounds )
---
„Dran is a more than fitting celebration of Innerwoud's existence. It may not sound festive but it shines a light on everything that makes Innerwoud exceptional: the beauty in dire times the slowing of time in fast moving surroundings. If you have the chance of getting your hands of this release you should not hesitate for one second, its impact will last long after the record is finished.“

Deafheaven - Lonely People with Power (2025 | Post

Deafheaven - Lonely People with Power (2025 | Post-Black Metal | Roadrunner Records )
---
"Lonely People with Power" takes some aspects of Deafheaven's past releases and puts them back into focus for those who have missed them. "Lonely People with Power" sounds less like an evolution and more like a manifestation of all the things that have made Deafheaven special in their more than 10-year history.

SpiritWorld - Helldorado (2025 | Death Metal | Century Media Records )

„Helldorado feels like a journey through the rugged landscapes of both metal and the Wild West. The aggressive heaviness, Western imagery, and country-punk elements are the core of an absolute banger of an album.“

Whitechapel - Hymns in Dissonance (2025 | Deathcor

Whitechapel - Hymns in Dissonance (2025 | Deathcore | Metal Blade Records )
---
„A return to roots record is a tricky task. Most of the time the end-product falls short of re-capturing the magic of old time achievements. Especially in the more extreme sectors of metal. Whitechapel managed to avoid this trap by integrating subtle tweaks and turns in every bludgeoning track presented on their ninth record "Hymns in Dissonance". But be warned, this is not for the faint-hearted. To those who cherish aggression and brutality with clever and dynamic songwriting: look no further and immediately sing these dissonant hymns, daddy's home.“

This Gift is a Curse - Heir (2025 | Death Metal | Season of Mist )
---
„“Heir” feels like a never-ending descent into pure darkness. It offers an obscure interplay of chaos, melancholy, destruction, and loneliness.
This Gift Is a Curse's latest work is definitely not an easy listen.
However, it is shaping up to be a truly exciting and multifaceted album—one that will undoubtedly resonate with fans of extreme metal who are searching for something both crushing and thought-provoking.“

Voidhra - Only Cold Winds Will Carry My Name (2025 | Black Metal | Crawling Chaos Records)
---
"I'm a guitarist first and foremost, and that's exactly what I focus on. For me, a riff is the most important element of a song, followed by the song structure as a whole - the lyrics only come at the very end. So there is no continuous common thread."
---
With the return of Friedrichshafen Black Metal combo @voidhra and their sophomore full-length release "Only Cold Winds Will Carry My Name," that was released via @crawling_chaos_records we decided to sit down again and talk about the progression from debut to sophomore, the full band, the songwriting of this album and live experiences.

Wren - Black Rain Falls (2025 | Doom / Sludge | Church Road Records )

„But upon diving deeper into the concept of Black Rain Falls it becomes clear that Wren make music for a never-ending carousel of thoughts. Sometimes it spins faster and stronger with the G-forces exert their influence on the body. Sometimes it slows down and the mind takes in its surroundings. But all the time the thoughts are with you.“

„For me, Post Apocalyptic Depression is a sheer delight. As someone who generally resides more in the realms of post-rock/metal and the like, Mantar has always offered me a little escape from over-orchestrated song structures, allowing the little musical rage kid that resides in all of us to come out. “
