Rivers of Nihil - Rivers of Nihil (2025 | Death Me Rivers of Nihil - Rivers of Nihil (2025 | Death Metal | Metal Blade Records )
— 
„May it be the sheer brutality of mid-tracklist cut „Evidence“, the almost synth ballad nature of pre-released single „Water & Time“ or the progressive and slowly building „Despair Church“ and album highlight „The Logical End“. The bands display of cleverly integrated time and mood shifts offer an overall engaging and cohesive listening experience. 

Technical Death Metal purists might be disappointment due to an overall more stream-lined and catchy songwriting approach but all those who are looking for a modern progressive death metal record done right, look no further.“

CHEPANG - Jhyappa (2025 | Grindcore | Relapse Reco CHEPANG - Jhyappa (2025 | Grindcore | Relapse Records )
— 
„Musically, “Jhyappa” brings back the old-school CHEPANG sound while introducing fresh nuances. Clocking in at under 20 minutes, the nine tracks deliver an unrelenting experience. 
What makes Jhyappa truly exceptional is the balance between its chaotic grindcore roots and cultural elements (...) giving it a distinctive character that sets it apart in the Grindcore genre.
It’s not just another grindcore album—it’s raw, personal, and full of character. “

rýr - dislodged (2025 | Post-Metal | Moment of Co rýr - dislodged (2025 | Post-Metal | Moment of Collapse Records )
--- 
Just like the passive verb-forms in the tracklist, the music is so towering that you can't do anything against it and just let the album happen. 

"dislodged" is like a monumental monochrome screensaver for your mind, that mesmerizes you from the first riffs of "flung" until the last sounds of "foiled" have faded out.

dislodged will surely stand tall among the many Post-Metal releases that will see the light of day in 2025.

Innerwoud - Dran (2025 | Ambient | Consouling Soun Innerwoud - Dran (2025 | Ambient | Consouling Sounds )
--- 
„Dran is a more than fitting celebration of Innerwoud's existence. It may not sound festive but it shines a light on everything that makes Innerwoud exceptional: the beauty in dire times the slowing of time in fast moving surroundings. If you have the chance of getting your hands of this release you should not hesitate for one second, its impact will last long after the record is finished.“

Deafheaven - Lonely People with Power (2025 | Post Deafheaven - Lonely People with Power (2025 | Post-Black Metal | Roadrunner Records )
--- 
"Lonely People with Power" takes some aspects of Deafheaven's past releases and puts them back into focus for those who have missed them. "Lonely People with Power" sounds less like an evolution and more like a manifestation of all the things that have made Deafheaven special in their more than 10-year history.

Whitechapel - Hymns in Dissonance (2025 | Deathcor Whitechapel - Hymns in Dissonance (2025 | Deathcore | Metal Blade Records )
--- 
„A return to roots record is a tricky task. Most of the time the end-product falls short of re-capturing the magic of old time achievements. Especially in the more extreme sectors of metal. Whitechapel managed to avoid this trap by integrating subtle tweaks and turns in every bludgeoning track presented on their ninth record "Hymns in Dissonance". But be warned, this is not for the faint-hearted. To those who cherish aggression and brutality with clever and dynamic songwriting: look no further and immediately sing these dissonant hymns, daddy's home.“

This Gift is a Curse - Heir (2025 | Death Metal | This Gift is a Curse - Heir (2025 | Death Metal | Season of Mist )
--- 
„“Heir” feels like a never-ending descent into pure darkness. It offers an obscure interplay of chaos, melancholy, destruction, and loneliness.
This Gift Is a Curse's latest work is definitely not an easy listen.
However, it is shaping up to be a truly exciting and multifaceted album—one that will undoubtedly resonate with fans of extreme metal who are searching for something both crushing and thought-provoking.“
