Collapse of Pattern, Reverence of Dust strikes more vicious in sound than previous albums with an added focus on big headbanging riffs. And at the end of the day, who doesn't want a big, fat, honkin' riff?? The post Cult Burial – Collapse of Pattern, Reverence of Dust Review appeared first on The Goat Review.| The Goat Review
It's always struck Anti-Peat as interesting how labels like avant-garde stop being a descriptor of being on the edge and become a set established sound of their own within a genre. Travel down the ruined dragon's hole. The post Smohalla – Ruina Draconis Review appeared first on The Goat Review.| The Goat Review
In the Gator's semi-advanced age, a conciliary mindset directed him to pick up the promo for The Sleeping City. But pressing play on "Blackmurmur", and sitting through seven minutes of intro before the song reaches its four minutes of actual meat had him moments away from reaching for the metaphorical knife again.

As Obsequiae have proved, flavoring your metal with some medievalism works. Now Morke's mastermind Eric Wing is seeking to carry on growing that new tradition with their fourth album To Carry On. Time to dust off your chainmail and give this a spin. The post Morke – To Carry On Review appeared first on The Goat Review.| The Goat Review
This one doesn't just sound like Paradise Lost. It is Paradise Lost! Almost as long as the novel too... does our Gator get caught up in the Ascension as any fan boy would? Well... The post Paradise Lost – Ascension Review appeared first on The Goat Review.| The Goat Review
Being a metalhead of the generation that recognizes "Black Winter Day" within seconds, Anti-Peat has always had an interest in what Amorphis are doing. But when they enter the progressive borderlands of taste, will they still make him feel the deathly chills? The post Amorphis – Borderland Review appeared first on The Goat Review.| The Goat Review
This week in Metal 2025 Week 39 covers the latest releases from Krigsgrav and Medieval Demon. One or both might be overrated.| The Goat Review
"Stormcaller jumps from genre to genre as the mood takes it, and it is highly impressive how seamless those jumps are", Anti-Peat jots down in his notebook stained with metal salad and dirt from Texan trenches, wishing someone would just shoot at him through the thick atmosphere.
