Debut album from 2022 by the Canadian MAULE, an electrifying blast of traditional Heavy Metal and Speed Metal with a strong NWOBHM flavour, packed with galloping riffs, huge melodies and absolutely infectious youthful energy. Deeply influenced by the classic British scene while adding a wild and streetwise attitude of their own, MAULE combines epicness, speed and addictive choruses in a release that feels both fresh and nostalgic, overflowing with fantasy, steel and pure underground spirit. Recommended for fans of IRON MAIDEN, ANGEL WITCH, SAXON and DIAMOND HEAD.
2nd album from 2022 by the Chilean MERCILESS LAW, a powerful blast of Heavy Metal and melodic Power Metal strongly inspired by the classic European school. “The Holy Company” combines energetic riffs, epic melodies and catchy choruses with a modern and polished production, striking a balance between aggression and accessibility that is characteristic of the style.
The album moves between traditional 80s-styled Power Metal and more melodic Heavy Metal, with clear influences from the German and Nordic scenes, standing out for its direct approach, constant energy and well-executed classic aesthetic. A solid release within the modern underground of Heavy/Power Metal.
Recommended for fans of HELLOWEEN, GAMMA RAY, ACCEPT and RAGE.
11th album from 2023 by the American METALLICA, a powerful and expansive work of Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal where the band recaptures much of the aggression and speed of their classic era without abandoning the heavier and more mature approach of their later releases.
“72 Seasons” combines massive riffs, crushing grooves and a huge production with a deeply introspective and dark lyrical tone, exploring the formative early years of life through James Hetfield’s perspective. An intense, muscular and highly dynamic record that finds METALLICA sounding inspired, hungry and surprisingly ferocious more than four decades after revolutionizing the Metal world.
Recommended for fans of MEGADETH, EXODUS, TESTAMENT and OVERKILL.

The album clearly draws from the most primitive and filthy side of Blackened Death Metal, with an aesthetic reminiscent of the genre’s first wave and its most underground expression, prioritizing rawness, speed and impact over any technical refinement.

2-CD Compilation album from 2014 by the Swedish PAGANIZER, a monumental collection of Old School Swedish Death Metal celebrating two decades of sonic decay by gathering essential tracks, rarities, demos and hard-to-find material from the extensive career of Rogga Johansson’s band. “20 Years In A Terminal Grip” works as a true encyclopedia of the rawest and most cavernous Swedish Death Metal, overflowing with rotten riffs, crushing grooves and that unmistakable old-school Scandinavian smell of dampness, blood and gasoline. An essential release both for longtime followers of the band and for devotees of the dirtiest and most classic Swedish Death Metal sound. Recommended for fans of GRAVE, DISMEMBER, RIBSPREADER and DEMONICAL.
2nd album from 1984 by the American PANTERA, a representative work from the band's early years, when their sound was firmly rooted in 1980s Hard Rock and melodic Heavy Metal. “Projects in the Jungle” shows a young but increasingly confident band developing a style heavily influenced by the American scene of the time, as well as the rise of Glam Metal and melodic Hard & Heavy.
The album combines catchy riffs, accessible choruses and a strong emphasis on guitar melodies, clearly reflecting the influences that shaped the band's early years before their transformation into one of the most influential names in modern Metal. Despite being stylistically distant from their best-known releases, the album already hints at the songwriting talent and energy that would later define PANTERA.
An essential release for understanding the band's evolution and discovering a lesser-known side of their career.
Recommended for fans of KIX, DOKKEN, RATT, KEEL and MÖTLEY CRÜE.
6th album from 1997 by the legendary PARADISE LOST, a dark, melancholic, and atmospheric work where the British band continued expanding their sound into more gothic and emotional territories without losing their unmistakable gloomy essence.
