Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Carnation – Symphony in Flesh Review: Death metal is one of my favorite things on Earth. One of the coolest and most invigorating innovations in heavy music, death metal’s focus on rhythm, groove, heft, and serrated distortions in every instrument calls to something primal and primordial. Belgian five-banger Carnation understand that primal call perhaps too well, taking a classic formula that… http://dlvr.it/TVtXMk LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Eivør – Tungl Review: I am such a sucker for Nordic music. Toss in an æ, an ø, or even an ð, and I am right there, all alert and happy. Your þ is a tiny treat, and I am an excitable puppy wagging my tail to the beat of your traditional percussive instrument whose name I don’t actually know. So when I saw a project called Eivør submitted to us for review, I can’t say I hesitated much. I did briefly… http://dlvr.it/TVtHxp LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Golgothan – Offering Review: Golgothan hails from Lafayette, Louisiana, and they ply their brand of brutal death metal with murderous verve. After releasing a string of EPs between 2014 and 2020, these bayou brutes dropped debut, Leech in 2022. Four years later, Golgothan returns with sophomore Offering, and it picks up where Leech left off—by making your earholes beg for mercy. At a lean thirty-six… http://dlvr.it/TVsnPZ LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Stuck in the Filter: July 2026’s Angry Misses: Finally the rain has stopped falling and the ducts are dry. Musty and filled with bodies of lost minions, maybe, but dry. This means that I can send my remaining minions in to trudge for gems and nuggets on double time—same pay of course. And for a great cause!

Okay maybe not a great cause, but at least a decently good cause. Someone’s got to let the… http://dlvr.it/TVsFnF LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Smoulder – Witch Wife in an Alien World Review: On third album, Witch Wife in an Alien World, Smoulder sounds confident and uniquely themselves as they wield their brazen wares. On debut Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring, the Canadian ensemble delved into epic doom that plodded and pounded with towering riffs and heaving, swollen builds. In 2023, Smoulder released follow-up Violent Creed of… http://dlvr.it/TVrrvq LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Ram – Against Review: Sweden’s Ram have been at the classic heavy metal thing since 2003, crafting six albums with a sound somewhere between classic Judas Priest and Tarot mixed with the grit and grease of Motörhead. I could have sworn I had reviewed their 2009 platter Lightbringer, but it turns out it dropped prior to me joining AMG. That album hit a nerve with me back in the day, and I still spin… http://dlvr.it/TVrjxk LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Tungsten – Ashes Review: I have fond memories of homebrewing with my dad. We honed the best methods for small-batch beers, experimented with dozens of styles, learned tough lessons from a couple of bottle bombs, and got to drink some great beer (and, yeah, some bad). Those are memories I’ll cherish for the rest of my life, and it’s something that drew me to the father and sons Swedish power metal… http://dlvr.it/TVrXvM LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Villagers of Ioannina City – Venceremos Review: It’s been seven years since Villagers of Ioannina City released the incredible Age of Aquarius, and six since I first heard it. It hasn’t left my regular rotation since, helped by an absolutely crazy live show at 229 in London in 2022. But the world is a different place since 2019. Age of Aquarius was a fundamentally happy record, with some lyrical… http://dlvr.it/TVqwyD LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 The Bleeding – Godless Communion Review: Several years removed from their impressive third album, Monokrator, unheralded UK act The Bleeding return with fourth LP, Godless Communion. Time between drinks rings in a significant period of change, with all-bar guitarist Tasos’ newish additions to the line-up. The charismatic, thrash-infused screams of departed longtime vocalist Germ (barring some… http://dlvr.it/TVqjL3 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Spirit Possession – Cathedral Speech Review: Since forming in 2019, Portland, Oregon duo Spirit Possession has peddled sinsational thrashy black metal. Released in 2020, their self-titled debut supplied a solid if one-note dose of chaotic metal madness, but it was 2023 follow-up Of the Sign… that nabbed my attention. On it, Spirit Possession funneled their blackened anarchy into tighter compositions… http://dlvr.it/TVqCy2 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Eshtadur – In Darkness All Shadows Gone Review: You probably know the story of Batman by now: by day a wealthy entrepreneur and philanthropist, by night a warrior for justice. Well, Eshtadur live a similar dual life. By day, recording heavy metal music at RockStar Studios in Colombia and, well, other days recording with the Caldas Symphonic Orchestra at Batula’s Theater, also in Colombia. Just like… http://dlvr.it/TVq0dK LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Sgàile – Onwards to Embrace the Echo Review: My 2024 review of Sgàile’s Traverse the Bealach was the exact kind of musical discovery that occasionally reminds us AMG writers why we do this. Sgàile was a band I’d never heard of, but turned out to be the project of a musician I’ve long enjoyed (in this case, Tony Dunn, whom I knew from Falloch, but who has also played in Saor and Cnoc an Tursa), and… http://dlvr.it/TVpLzv LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Pegzilla – Disobedience Review: It’s October, a month whose suitability for seasonal comments is eclipsed only, perhaps, by December. Pumpkins and their spiced lattes, sweaters, lawn decorations, and costumes provide a nearly bottomless well of small talk from sea to shining sea. Searching for a timely promo to review as a chill worms its way into the air and the leaves blaze in the weeks before… http://dlvr.it/TVp4tR LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Netherwilds – Peasant Rising Review: When 2026 started, I had no history with indie rock group Tokyo Police Club’s frontman David Monk or his viral TikTok peasant-sona Worm Chewer. But when the lead single of Monk’s avant-garde “peasant metal” side project Netherwilds dropped—”Return the Goat”—Peasant Rising immediately shot to my most anticipated release of the year. That snapshot of blackened… http://dlvr.it/TVnSMz LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Endspace – First Contact Review: Death metal cornered the metal-and-SF market ages ago, but black metal has moved on its turf in recent years. Bands like Imperialist and Vorga adopt the aesthetic trappings and lyrical conceits of science fiction while trem-picking their guitars and blast-beating their drums. Others, like Labyrinthus Stellarum, go further, giving the music itself an alien,… http://dlvr.it/TVnDKr LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Blodtår – Monark Review: For the most part, I’ve been on a rather fortuitous kick with my black metal pulls. I’ve long appreciated the genre for its relatively underappreciated ability to fuse emotion into raw violence; an approach that death tends to reject wholesale in favor of severing flesh from bone, unless you go seeking out the deliberate exceptions. Third release from Swedish duo Blodtår,… http://dlvr.it/TVmhZh LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Record(s) o’ the Month – June 2026: As we race to catch up with modern times, we’ve finally entered the summer stage of 2026! June was sweaty with heat and also a slate of quality releases, and the staff voting list was long and confusing, but we did the best we could to make sense of it and give the little people their say. As we always say, democracy is a filthy, messy business, best left to the… http://dlvr.it/TVm582 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Hippotraktor – Annihilist Review: In 2024, Belgian quintet Hippotraktor dropped Stasis, a monolithic blend of post-metal atmosphere, progressive ambition and groovy heft—somewhere between Psychonaut,1 The Ocean and Meshuggah—that quickly earned them recognition, even landing on year-end lists. Their knack for hitting the sweet spot where djent, post-metal and prog collide set a high bar and third… http://dlvr.it/TVldmT LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Firtan – Helios Review: From operating on the outskirts, Germany’s Firtan now barely need an introduction. Their sweepingly dramatic, folk-infused brand of pagan blackened death has made them an increasingly prominent name in the scene, aided by their consistency in delivering a record nearly every two years since 2018. Despite this pace, the quality has also remained consistently high, with review… http://dlvr.it/TVlXBv LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Frozen Crown – The Legend of the Six Kings Review: Frozen Crown does not seem like a group that’s content to sit still for very long. Since The Fallen King in 2018, they have yet to let more than two years go by between full-length releases. These Italians have tinkered with their signature blend of power metal and various other subgenres over the years, on which Eldritch Elitist has expertly… http://dlvr.it/TVlHj2 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Brymir – What We Leave Behind Review: Four years after Brymir dropped fourth LP Voices in the Sky, the Finnish quartet reemerges with fifth opus, What We Leave Behind. Despite parting ways with longtime guitarist Sean Haslam last year, fans of the band will be happy to hear Brymir’s core sound remains intact. Sleek melodic leads coat What We Leave Behind’s three-quarters of an hour, and they go down… http://dlvr.it/TVkfJT LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Desolate Pathway – Visions in Death Review: People have been imagining monsters as the harbingers of their doom for millennia. In Homer’s The Odyssey, men met their makers at the hands of creatures ranging from a man-eating cyclops to dangerously alluring sirens. The English epic poem, Beowulf, included the monstrous Grendel, who terrorized and ate townsfolk, and more than a thousand years later… http://dlvr.it/TVkLWR LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Amon Amarth – The Allfather Awakens Review: Vikings and their warrior ethos are a central archetype for metal of all stripes. Hyper-violent warriors from the frozen wastes who descend on coastal towns with great violence and furious anger; what could be more metal than that? Perpetually riding at the front of that particular longship, Amon Amarth have made their share of filthy lucre crafting paeans… http://dlvr.it/TVjjSw LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 AMG Goes Ranking – Amon Amarth: The decree sounded across the Ginnungagap. There was not yet time or space, nor were there menfolk to hear it… but still there was the decree. Amon Amarth is coming. They sing melodic death metal songs about Vikings. That’s what the frick they do, and don’t you question it or get tired of it or do anything but listen and pay fealty. For it is promised that if you give… http://dlvr.it/TVjTGF LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Tombstalker – Chaos Monolith Review: Kentucky’s veteran death metal crew, Tombstalker, offer a blast from the past in a couple of ways. Firstly, after dropping their solidly impressive debut album Black Crusades back in 2015, Tombstalker continued touring before hitting roadblocks, going on hiatus, and rejigging their line-up. Releasing a couple of EPs in the intervening years, the rejuvenated… http://dlvr.it/TVhwRW LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Orbital Soul System – Nightwing Review: Space is very metal. So I’ve always been surprised that it’s a relatively underdeveloped topic across most styles. Bands like Enshine, of course, make it all the rage every now and again, but it’s not something I see often. Orbital Soul System (formerly Orbital Dawn) is working to correct this perspective. The one-man solo project of one U-Gene (Rakoth) from… http://dlvr.it/TVhl68 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 The Ocean – Solaris Review: Sady, it’s been a while since we’ve really heard an incredible The Ocean record. While 2023’s Holocene wasn’t shit by any means, it was nothing like the run the band has had since 2013’s Pelagial. I’ve never been so captivated by a selection of consequential albums—only recently with the Green Carnation trilogy.1 Drifting away from the epochs, The Ocean sets off to the… http://dlvr.it/TVh1Rh LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Raphael Weinroth-Browne – Empyrean Review: Canadian cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne probably needs no introduction at this point, which is a bit surprising, given that this is a metal blog. He first graced these halls in 2015 through The Visit, and, as a soloist, in early 2020 with the spectacular Worlds Within. By now, his “not not metal” approach to cello is a familiar comfort to this reviewer in… http://dlvr.it/TVgnR7 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Chelsea Wolfe – The Dark Review: Long sharing an affiliation with the broader metal community, Chelsea Wolfe has carved out an eclectic, compelling career arc. From minimalist drone, folk, and experimental leanings of her early work to her blockbuster doom and metal-tinged explosions on top-shelf albums like Abyss and Hiss Spun. Wolfe has traversed interesting pathways across a career which has… http://dlvr.it/TVfjJX LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Critical Defiance – Rivers of Blood Review: The Chilean thrashmongers in Critical Defiance have been slinging molten riffs and high-octane violence for over a decade, and on fourth LP Rivers of Blood the carnage continues. The band formed in 2010, and though they released a couple of demos and a split between 2014 and 2016, it took nine years before the world got its clutches on full-length debut… http://dlvr.it/TVfG4z LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal
