This week in Metal 2025 Week 22 covers the latest releases from Act of Impalement and Full of Hell.| The Goat Review
Broken Sword, Rotten Shield is the newest entry in Full of Hell's eclectic musical canon. In a way, it's a continuation of the bands previous record, which explored more noise rock-oriented textures inspired by '90s outfits like Helmet or The Jesus Lizard. Hopefully the Helmet works too... cause the sword and shield certainly ain't gonna cut it.

2025 has, to put it bluntly, fucking sucked for me and while I’m actively working towards improving my situation, I’ve searched for music to fill that anger. It’s been a very successful quest, and I keep finding new gems to become a vital part of my rotation as a result. Today’s act is one such example: Tennessee based death metal juggernaut Act of Impalement. The post Act of Impalement – Profane Altar Review appeared first on The Goat Review.| The Goat Review

As metal subgenre hybrids go, mixing up black and death metal is one of the most natural and challenging pairings out there. It's natural in that musicians gravitate towards taking the more extreme genres and blurring the boundaries between them to try and push things further, but therein lies the challenge too. If you do too little, you don't stand out in a crowded field; do too much and it just becomes over-dense and loses its edge. Anti-Peat might just be telling you to edge into the krake...| The Goat Review
For the real amount of gains, Scuttlegoat need something loud, bassy. Something with a lack of nuance and constant aggressive dynamics. Oh, and it must be good, too. The post Landfilth – CONTROL Review appeared first on The Goat Review.| The Goat Review

Caustic Wound faced the sophomore slump phenomenon many bands encounter after releasing a stellar debut. Their answer? Five years of silence following the superb Death Posture. That waiting strategy paid off handsomely with their newest album, Grinding Mechanism of Torment. No rust, just riffs.
