perfectfemaletype One of the best pure synthwave releases I've heard this year. I love it! Favorite track: We're Online.

Alex Lightspeed Great EP from start to finish , however the surprise appearance of the ever elusive Lazerhawk, and what a pleasure to find him on the new MN84 EP. I was hard to pick between this and Overclock but I think the collab has so much movement with the lead that comes in to close the album out. Don't sleep on this one! Favorite track: Server Ghosts (feat Lazerhawk).

GABBA GOUL Literal goosebumps. So amazing! Favorite track: Say Forever (feat Power Rob).

Abyssius Murkraken Excited to get my hands on this decadently sexy album!

[UPDATE:] This easily fits into my top albums of 2026! Highly recommended for any symphonic black metal fan. Favorite track: The Black Dragons Of Iswylm.

Igor The album art was what initially caught my attention (besides the obvious reasons...) because it looks very 90's-esque... Still I would say it is worth mentioning that it took 1 one track to make me blind purchase this... I have high hopes for this band and album! But so far I can already tell I will become a fan! I will add more when the full album drops... but man... I'm already excited! Favorite track: Carnal Tapestries Of Nailtorn Flesh.

Not RomanPort nice rack \m/ Favorite track: Imperious Sanguine Eroticism.

technically_damaged "Necropalace" takes a new direction toward Symphonic Black Doom, a cosmic, ethereal, and nocturnal result that invites us to immerse ourselves in new forms. Fans of Limbonic Art, Diabolical Masquerade, and Necromantia will worship Necropalace and become one with the call... Favorite track: Dragon Dreams.

trenxch (friend to toads) epic songs and mystical ballads. Favorite track: Blackheart.

JulieFern Fantastic album, one of the best metal albums of the year so far, the guitarwork is insane, the atmosphere is beautifully gothic and so so melodic, a solid 9.5/10 Favorite track: The Night Has Fangs.

Ippocalyptica Beneath Moonlight’s debut EP is clearly the work of seasoned musicians, even if you have likely never heard of the other projects to which these enigmatic characters belong. On the surface, this is atmospheric and somewhat raw BM, but what elevates this amongst the large field of similar bands is the outstanding piano work which is not merely a flourish, but integral to the compositions. It also helps that I hear early Ulver, Arcturus, and Satanic Art-era DHG vibes. Title track is stunning! Favorite track: Beneath Moonlight.

SC Have you ever been walking alone in the woods in the evening and felt a sudden urge that you need to run or else something is going to get you? that sudden, unexpected feelings of being pursued and that if you do not sprint at full force away you will be caught by whatever dark specter is pursuing you?

that's kinda what this feels like. In a good way. In the best way in fact.

9RnK7 Interesting production, atmosphere, and cover. Really satisfying because it sounds different than most other albums in my collection and I'm a sucker for prominent bass. Favorite track: Les Litanies de Satan.
