Khemmis succeeds in stripping down—but not dumbing down—their sound to its absolute essence, delivering their most cohesive and focused record to date. If you're looking for epic Doom Metal with gorgeous melodies, this is for you. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/06/khem... #metalsky #doom

Genghis Tron have restored some features from their old version to their newly established firmware. The system continues to run freely and without stylistic constraints. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/06/geng... #metalsky #cybergrind

Converge NEVER disappoint. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/06/conv... #hardcore #metalsky

Blood Incantation are masters when it comes to develop a universe set in space. “All Gates open” is the cosmic zen-garden you need when your own planet is spinning out of orbit. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/06/bloo... #metalsky #ambient

„Ein stumpfes Instrument“ is not an album built for passive listening. It demands patience, attention, and a willingness to engage with its stubbornly uncompromising nature. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/05/fars... #metalsky

No Place of Warmth feels like the next big step for Frozen Soul. Bigger, heavier and more confident. It really makes you wonder if there is even a limit to their brutality and heaviness. This might be their strongest record so far. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/05/froz... #metalsky #deathmetalsky

@portrayalofguilt.bsky.social 's "…Beginning Of The End" is a hauntingly beautiful and hard-hitting record full of interesting dynamics and gripping songs resulting in the band’s best record to date. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/04/port... #metalsky

What makes The Ghost Of A Future Dead stand out is that it perfectly captures At The Gates at their core. This is a record as essential as Slaughter Of The Soul. Not a second is wasted, and every note hits with impact and purpose. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/04/at-t... #metalsky

Armed for Apocalypse don’t stand in opposition to the apocalypse; they actively help shape it in sonic terms. Here, things crash, rumble, shatter, and the very framework groans. When Armed for Apocalypse get moving, they can’t be stopped. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/04/arme... #metalsky

Immolation have truly mastered the art of creating an apocalyptic atmosphere. If the world ever comes to an end, this would probably be the perfect soundtrack. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/04/immo... #metalsky #deathmetalsky

"Consistency and intensity have always been the foundation of Immolation, and Descent is the perfect follow-up to Acts of God." www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/04/immo... @nuclearblast.bsky.social

"At first, you’re hit by intense winds that throw everything above and below into chaos. In the middle, there’s a strangely beautiful calm, which—once you leave it again—turns back into the familiar and beloved turmoil." www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/03/chal... #posthardcore

Poison The Well don’t miss a beat on their comeback record. Their sixth album fires on all cylinders, triggering mosh muscle memory, provoking sing-alongs, and inducing head-bobbing as if they had never left in the first place. #hardcore

"Loss" is different, sounds different and aims to be different. Read our review of the new Gaerea and get lost in the album. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/03/gaer... #metalsky

"Into Oblivion" is another worthy addition to the band’s catalogue and no one should be worried that they’ve lost their bite and vigor. Lamb Of God prove that they’re still among the most competent and pissed-off combos in metal. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/03/lamb... #metalsky

For some of the OG fans, this album might feel a little controversial. But Temple of Void clearly didn’t hold back when it came to exploring new creative ideas. This one of their most interesting and surprising releases so far. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/03/temp... #metalsky #deathmetalsky

The road is definitely not safe when @exhumedofficial.bsky.social hit the red asphalt. Time to fire up the gore-soaked engines and blast this absolute banger at full volume. www.transcendedmusic.de/2026/02/exhu... #metalsky #deathmetalsky @relapserecords.bsky.social

Believe in Nothing's "Rot" is 42 minute debut of bleakness and viciousness. Believe in Nothing have bred a work of art that in all its ugliness is hard to ignore. If you can stomach the aural hostility you are in for an enthralling experience. www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/11/beli... #metalsky

“Observance” ( @relapserecords.bsky.social ) is not just a heavy record it’s an experience of pure suffocation. It might very well be @primitiveman.bsky.social most intense and unsettling album to date, which honestly says a lot. www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/10/prim... #metalsky #sludge

5 songs of brute hostility are gathered on "For All the Dead Dreams". 17 minutes of condensed anger and audio-physical violence. Every song here has that ONE mosh-part that hits as hard as the body-blow on the cover. www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/10/mast... #metalsky

“Unself“ (via @nuclearblast.bsky.social) is not easy to digest. It demands your attention. Conjurer fully succeed on their third record, blasting away all doubts that they would falter this time. Those who embrace it surely won’t forget it. www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/10/conj... #metalsky #sludge

This is without a doubt The Acacia Strain's heaviest and most focused record to date. And that's saying something 13 records deep into the band's career. We're not Safe anymore. Released via @riserecords.bsky.social www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/10/the-... #metalsky #sludge

Bow down to your new masters of brutality. New Tribal Gaze via @nuclearblast.bsky.social www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/10/trib... #metalsky #deathmetal

Endless blast-beats over screams of never-ending agony. This is exactly how Black Metal without the "Post-" should sound in 2025. Terzij de Horde's Our Breath Is Not Ours Alone is a definitive genre highlight at the end of the year. www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/10/terz... #metalsky #blackmetal

"Hideous Aftermath" is not just another brutal Death Metal record. It’s a diverse, refreshing and punishing release that pushes Sanguisugabogg to the next level while cementing their status as one of the best death metal bands in the game right now. www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/10/sang... #metalsky

DESTROYING OURSELVES FOR A PLACE IN THE SUN ( @consouling.bsky.social / Lay bare Recordings) is like a perfect evolution, it defines the muscles, refines the movements, and in the end, a metal organism emerges that stands very high on the food chain. www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/10/modd... #metalsky

If you’re into riffs, Dead Heat's Process of Elimination ( @metalbladerecords.bsky.social) is pure riff city. www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/10/dead... #metalsky #hardcore

Author & Punisher is still able to re-invent his vision and his craft, even this long into his career. "Nocturnal Birding" ( @relapserecords.bsky.social ) truly feels like an exploration of sound(s) www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/09/auth... #metalsky #industrial

Dying Wish deliver a fresh, modern version of 2000s Hardcore with their new album “Flesh stays together” www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/09/dyin... #metalsky #hardcore

Three days of heat, dust, pits, and some of the best performances extreme metal has to offer. <read our festival recap of Party.San 2025! www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/09/part... #metalsky #festival

Still In Love's "Recovery Language" feels like a love letter to metallic Hardcore. It has got a beefy sound, the right amount of variety and its short enough to prevent total exhaustion from trashing your living room. www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/09/stil... #metalsky #hardcore

Slow Crush’s “Thirst” (via @purenoiserecords.bsky.social) sends the listener into the singer's emotional world of thoughts, allowing them to share in her pain while also taking them on a dreamy shoegaze journey. www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/08/slow... #metalsky #shoegaze

Adur's premise may be pessimistic but you would be foolish if you don't try to love this album. Every lover of massive grooves and occasional melodies should find a safe haven in "We Fail to Love Ourselves". www.transcendedmusic.de/2025/08/adur... #metalsky #postmetal
