Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Shabti – Haze, Cacophony, and White Light Review: For a band you’ve most likely not heard of before, Shabti sports a remarkably intriguing pedigree (at least for my tastes). You see, Shabti is comprised of members from Falls of Rauros, Obsidian Tongue, Fires in the Distance, and even live Panopticon performers. These aforementioned names will likely ignite the interest of fellow atmo-black lovers as… http://dlvr.it/TV9CyR LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Atomic Aggressor – The Occult Forces Review: Me and Atomic Aggressor go back a ways. I remember back in college, I somehow ended up in possession of their 2008 compilation Rise of the Ancient Ones, a raw and savage collection of songs that essentially comprised what was then the entire discography of this cult Chilean death metal band. Sadly, featured works like their apparently infamous 1989 demo… http://dlvr.it/TV8b9t LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Rushadicus – Night of the Jick Beast Review: There is genius that insists upon itself, and then there is genius that does a striptease. Hold these opposing poles in mind as you consider Night of the Jick Beast, the album of improvised goblin metal by Rushadicus. Here are eighteen tracks of experimental cello, composed on the evening of March 9, 2026 and recorded between the hours of six and eight… http://dlvr.it/TV8MTx LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Deceptor – Reign of Terror Review: Storming out of Raleigh, North Carolina, Deceptor rebukes every vestige of modernity on debut Reign of Terror, firmly planting their flag in the glorious days of yore. According to their promotional literature, those days span between 1988 and 1992, and damned if these tunes don’t sound like they’ve been unearthed and freed from the clutches of a class of ’91 time… http://dlvr.it/TV7pfh LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Azatoth – Carnal Lust of Blasphemy Review: Lord, bless this cess! Out of left field, from the old laundry-detergent sump behind the abandoned meatpacking emporium, come the horrible sounds of Finland’s Azatoth. Lurking around the worst corners of the Finnish death scene since 2020, Azatoth finally unleashes their full-length debut on a not-so-innocent world. With a team of well-traveled vets… http://dlvr.it/TV7GCT LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Noveria – Becoming After Review: First appearing on these pages back in 2016 with sophomore record Forsaken, progressive power outfit Noveria have made a habit of getting in their own way. After Forsaken failed to match its Evergreyed ambition with clumsy execution, the quintet bounced back in a big way with Aequilibrium (2019), a record packed with heaviness, melody and virtuosity that hinted at… http://dlvr.it/TV6kRR LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Lord Carrion – Man Made Hell Review: There are a few phrases that I could theoretically read in a promo blurb that would get me to instantly pick it up.1 When my eyes landed on the line “Lord Carrion seeks to usher in 1000 years of ruin to fascists and authoritarians of all stripes,” I thought “say less,” and took Man Made Hell without any care for the fact that its black metal comes with a… http://dlvr.it/TV6VXS LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Yer Metal Is Olde: Mastodon – Blood Mountain: A year ago to the day, the metal community tragically lost Brent Hinds. Three weeks from now, metalheads can observe a joyous anniversary involving Hinds: Blood Mountain turns 20. The convergence of these anniversaries must be disorienting for the remaining members of Mastodon, who recently released a tribute to their fallen brother. In the video, Brann… http://dlvr.it/TV607J LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 The Night Eternal – Cold Velvet Review: Do you, like me, ever find yourself missing the sheer metallic perfection of the first few Mercyful Fate albums? Both Melissa and Don’t Break the Oath cast such a brilliantly macabre, occult atmosphere that they surely amplified the already palpable Satanic Panic of the mid-80s. Good things never last, but for a brief time, In Solitude managed to partially… http://dlvr.it/TV5qNC LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Fejd – Nifelheim Review: Vengeful trickster fairies, a realm of impenetrable cold and boundless frost, a dragon gnawing away at the roots of the World Tree; Norse iconography is intense, and metal bands have known this at least since Led Zeppelin. Sweden’s Fejd, a folk metal group formed in 2001 from the folk duo Rimmerfors and the prog-thrash band Pathos,1 have been weaving Norse history and… http://dlvr.it/TV5gtT LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Street Tombs – Existence is Corruption Review: Sometimes it just feels good to let rip some ferocious riffs, pound the drums at headbanging velocity, and rail about society’s ills at a pitch that a caveman can appreciate. At least that’s how I imagine New Mexico’s Street Tombs approaches their songwriting. In 2023, they gave out a good ol’ thrashing on their debut, Reclusive Decay, which didn’t see… http://dlvr.it/TV5FdS LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Utilize the Remains – Meaningless Existence Review: It is summer, and summer is for MOAR SLAMS!!! 2026 hasn’t seen the most plentiful harvest from the most cavebrained of death metal subsets, but with choice items from acts like Glassbone, Utter Scorn, Onchocerciasis Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and Gravecrawler, I’ve been able to keep my slam cravings moderately maintained. Alas, the hunger grows… http://dlvr.it/TV4nnx LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Fen – Elemental Part One: Mourning Earth Review: London, England’s Fen has a storied history at AMG, with five reviews spread across three different writers. The illustrious Madame X reviewed them thrice with mixed results, followed by Doom_et_Al’s laudatory commentary on The Dead Light and, most recently, Cherd’s favorable-but-less-impressed impression of Monuments to Absence. You should read their… http://dlvr.it/TV4BGw LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Argul – Soledad & Orgullo Review: You’ve likely never heard of him, but Mauricio Guerrero has been a busy man of late. I hadn’t either, until Peruvian stoner-doom band Illwind, featuring lead guitar from Guerrero, dropped their debut album in early July. Clarkkent’s positive review of The Unfolding at the End of Light drew my attention to this ‘chill record with some outstanding moments,’ many of… http://dlvr.it/TV3vN3 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Record(s) o’ the Month – May 2026: Wow. Wasn’t May just the other day? It seems like it to me! The fifth month of our Lord bestowed much quality material on us, and there were at least 4 key releases that garnered strong, fanboying support from the AMG peanut gallery located deep in the recesses of the Skull Pit. Funny thing about that gallery – they’re all tasteless hacks, but they’re OUR tasteless… http://dlvr.it/TV34Jw LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Dymna Lotva – Vyraj Review: The power of storytelling is well-known to Belarusian post-black outcasts Dymna Lotva. Their previous album, The Land Under the Black Wings: Blood, progressed that series through tragic true and folkloric tales, its overt tragedy in this sense bringing the real devastation wracking their native and settled home countries.1 Vyraj sees Dymna Lotva continue to communicate… http://dlvr.it/TV2YXz LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Ironflame – Worlds to Conquer Review: Besides thrash, heavy metal played a pivotal role in shaping my relationship with metal. Black Sabbath and Rainbow informed my earliest dalliances with the genre, and soon after my listening plate was laden with Maiden and greased with Priest. These bands and others set my sacred heart aflame with heavy metal thunder, and since then I’ve stood atop a gleaming… http://dlvr.it/TV1zYY LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Soulgrind – Ad Pulchram Mortem Review: When Lord Heikkinen formed Soulgrind in 1992, it was a rough and raw solo death/doom band. He released two EPs and two LPs between 1993 and 1995 for the now-defunct Malodorous Mangled Innards Records before deciding to invite some band members along for the ride. This would drastically alter Soulgrind’s musical direction towards gothic black/thrash, a decision… http://dlvr.it/TV1L5h LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Abyssal Rift – Relics of Great Ash Review: Columbus, Ohio, is the home of the dynamic duo behind Abyssal Rift, and they’re the proud owners of a band logo so completely unintelligible that we could have used it during WWII to utterly flummox the Nazi codebreakers. On sophomore outing Relics of Great Ash, the twosome throw gnarly chunks of Immolation, Incantation, and Ulcerate at the slaughterhouse… http://dlvr.it/TV1642 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Gravecrawler – Nidus Review: Sometimes you need an album that slaps. An album to lower the type of smackdown to make The Rock jealous, an album that brings out the joyful superlatives and meme-tier descriptors. Swedish death is the lynchpin of this idea, the undying zombie of subgenres, the style that spits in the face of innovation and artistic wankery in the name of digging further and further… http://dlvr.it/TV0Wm0 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Destroy My Brains – Wilt Review: I’ve recently decided to devote more attention to self-released projects. Some of the most interesting metal exists far outside the usual channels, grinding away in the shadows while willing listeners dig beneath the surface for uncut gems. Saskatchewan, Canada’s Destroy My Brains has been doing exactly that since its 2017 self-titled debut, following it with 2017’s… http://dlvr.it/TV0H6G LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 The Absolution Sequence – Dread Cycle: Tasmania—outside of their famous adorable screaming murder marsupials, I know basically nothing about the island. Recently, though, Tasmania’s The Absolution Sequence seized and held my attention with everything surrounding their debut record, Dread Cycle.1 Sublime cover art by Tasmanian artist Shaun Hyatt. Technical death metal that, according to promo,… http://dlvr.it/TTzZ75 LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Megascavenger – Toxic Noxious Undeath Review: It’s been a minute since I danced with a Rogga project. The man of a million bands is ever industrious and cranks out material like Doc Grier churns profanity in the AMG Slack channels. Megascavenger is one of the man’s countless projects, side quests, and diversions. Surprise, surprise, it’s Swedeath, and along with the HM-2 buzz and fuzz, there are a… http://dlvr.it/TTzMgY LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Raunchy – Prisoner Review: Holy shit, I thought these dudes were gone forever! A guilty pleasure, Raunchy hasn’t released an album since I last reviewed them in my first year as an idiotic dumbass Angry Metal writer. But no one has heard from them in a long fucking time. When I first discovered their impressive 2008 release, Wasteland Discotheque, I was on a kick to explore the underground who’s who… http://dlvr.it/TTyksR LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Only Echoes – Born Adrift Review: Metal is filled with reluctant vocalists. Whether it’s Dave Mustaine ultimately deciding to front Megadeth, or Mikael Åkerfeldt hesitantly filling the void in Opeth, or Troy Sanders and Brent Hinds eventually co-voicing Mastodon,1 vocals often exist in the genre as an afterthought. But what happens when there’s no after to the afterthought? You get something like… http://dlvr.it/TTyXpq LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Xandria – Eclipse Review: I was surprised to learn that we’ve never reviewed Xandria here. The German project of one Marco Heubaum (who covers guitars, keys, and the odd vocal spot), Xandria released their first full-length in 2003, performing gothic and, eventually, symphonic power metal. They first grabbed me with 2012’s Neverworld’s End, a fantastic orchestral metal album that I still enjoy… http://dlvr.it/TTxskK LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Temple of Dread – Dreadspawn Dominion Review: Hailing from the East Frisian Island of Spiekeroog, German death metallers Temple of Dread have been kicking around since 2017. After 2019 debut LP, Blood Carving Mantras, the illustrious Holdeneye saw fit to review their sophomore effort, World Sacrifice, in 2020. He commended them for their ferocity and adherence to the olde ways, but he would have… http://dlvr.it/TTxZHP LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal

Angry Metal Guy 🤘 Vauruvã – Mar da Deriva [Things You Might Have Missed 2025]: Folky black metal enjoyed much success in 2025. February alone held an embarrassment of riches, offering delicacies from Scotland (Saor), Siberia (Grima), and Finland (Havukruunu). In August, Sgah’gahsowáh dropped the much-hyped Blackbraid III, continuing his evocation of Adirondack landscapes. And on Halloween, New York’s Yellow Eyes… http://dlvr.it/TTwzDx LinkInBio for More 🤘 #AngryMetalGuy #HeavyMetal #Metal
