Temora |Demo 2025 |Blood Harvest Records

Release Date March 13^th, 2026

Format CD

Genre Death Metal

Country Czech Republic

Temora emerged from the shadows of Budweis, Czech Republic in 2025. This young crew of teenagers immediately started churning out rotting death metal, eventually dropping their first cassette via Filth Junkies Records. Now, Blood Harvest Records steps in to release "Demo 2025" on CD. For a bunch of kids essentially just starting out, they managed to put together a seriously vicious collection of tracks.

The music relies heavily on traditional death metal brutality combined with complete sonic rot. Guitars churn through punishing riffs, backed by a relentless rhythm section. The production sounds completely natural, capturing a raw energy that translates perfectly through the speakers. Vocals puke out aggressive patterns on tracks like "Koroze" and "Astrální Vize", tearing through the mix with absolute hostility.

Songs like "Trollmor" and "Znesvěcení Slunce" deliver pure punishment. Temora relies on sheer force and blunt savagery to get the job done. The drumming batters the skull with precision, driving the guitars forward into total chaos. The riffs are menacing and thick, creating an atmosphere of total devastation. Everything clicks together, resulting in a crushing assault that demands volume.

For a sixteen-minute run, "Demo 2025" creates a massive impact. These guys bring serious violence to the table, proving they have the chops to back up the hype. The songwriting is impressively mature for a band this young, and the execution is completely ruthless. As a starting point, this release delivers the goods and points toward a massive full-length down the road.

Score: 7.5

Zerre |Rotting On A Golden Throne |Dying Victims Productions

Release Date March 27^th, 2026
Format CD/LP
Genre Thrash Metal, Crossover
Country Germany

Zerre emerged from the underground cellars of Würzburg, Germany. Nico Ziska screams on vocals, Dominik Bertelt and Rocco Lepore attack the guitars, Tim Müller destroys the bass, and Basti Spahn annihilates the drums on their newest release. The quintet delivered absolute chaos with their previous album in 2024. Now, Dying Victims Productions unleashes their fourth full-length album, "Rotting On A Golden Throne".

The music plunges headfirst into the decay of power and human corruption. The band attacks with intense hostility and massive crossover grooves. You hear the furious thrashing speed of early Metallica colliding with the stomping rhythms of Faith No More. Bertelt and Lepore deliver a vicious guitar assault. Every riff smashes into the skull. The entire album provides a brutal soundtrack for a crumbling world.

Spahn drives a monstrous, locomotive rhythm on the drum kit. Müller locks his bass lines into the fast tempos to maximize the sonic destruction. Ziska spits pure rage, screaming against a machine bloated by human suffering. The production stays extremely dark and ominous. You catch every angry vocal line and every thunderous blast. Zerre executes their chaos beautifully.

"Rotting On A Golden Throne" delivers a titanic crossover beating. The relentless tempos make the music huge and totally infectious. Sometimes the unyielding speed causes a couple of sections to blur together slightly. The musical hostility remains incredibly fierce regardless of those minor similarities. As the throne collapses entirely, Zerre plays the absolute anthem for its destruction.

Score: 8.5

Türböwitch |Under Haunted Skies |Time To Kill Records

Release Date March 20^th, 2026
Format CD/LP/Digital
Genre Blackened/Speed/Thrash Metal
Country Hungary

Türböwitch formed in Budapest in 2016 as a project between Zslöd and Kommandante Klit to play loud extreme metal. The Hungarian speed freaks quickly expanded into a complete five-piece lineup. They dropped a demo right away, followed by the debut album "Napalm To Posers" in 2017, the "Beyond The Last Call" extended play in 2018, and "Fullmoon Liquorthropy" late in 2022. Touring extensively, they won the Wacken Metal Battle Hungary finals in June 2024 and played the Wacken Open Air stage that August. By March 2025, they were touring Europe alongside Enforcer. Now, they return with their third album, "Under Haunted Skies", through Time To Kill Records.

Türböwitch spits out fast, filthy blackened speed-thrash. The music charges forward with massive riffs and insane tempos. You can hear the raw aggression of Midnight crashing into the melodic drive of Hellripper and the thrash attack of The Crown. "Under Haunted Skies" delivers a concentrated blast of pure speed. The guitars rip through the tracks, throwing down heavy punk-fueled violence. Searing solos add a melodic edge to the chaos, keeping the assault lethal.

The production captures the raw savagery perfectly. Guitars rip fiercely, bass rumbles deep underneath, and drums pound relentlessly. Screaming vocals tear through the mix with absolute hostility. Songs like "Cult Mastery" and "Highways Of Death" rip everything apart, throwing extreme metal right in your face. An instinctive urgency drives the entire album into a fast-paced, unholy speed assault. They keep the chaos loud and totally unrepentant.

"Under Haunted Skies" is a highly entertaining, aggressive assault. The band delivers the ferocious material you want from the underground scene. Some tracks blend together slightly during the fastest sections, keeping the score from going higher. Regardless, the riffs destroy, and the energy remains massive throughout the runtime. Türböwitch prove they belong at the top of the European speed metal food chain.

Score: 7.8

Diabolus, Mecum Semperterne! |Diabolus, Mecum Semperterne! |Terratur Possessions

Release Date February 20^th, 2026
Format CD/Vinyl
Genre Black Metal
Country Norway

Diabolus, Mecum Semperterne! unites four veterans of the Norwegian extreme underground. Cernunnus from Manes and Manii dug up some riffs he wrote back in the early nineties. He handed them to his longtime friend K.R. of Whoredom Rife and Bloodthorn. They eventually brought in B. Kråbøl of Misotheist and Enevelde, along with E. Blix of Mare and Djevel, completing the lineup. These guys come from entirely different eras of the scene, teaming up to play orthodox black metal.

The self-titled album, "Diabolus, Mecum Semperterne!", delivers straightforward, hostile music. The guitars unleash freezing tremolo picking, burying minimal melodies under sheer distortion. The drums blast aggressively, pushing the speed to the extreme. Vocals rip through the chaos with absolute hatred. The production is abrasive and completely raw, drenching every single riff in static.

Long songs like "Ab Illo Benedicaris, In Cujus Honore Cremaberis" and "Gratias Agamus Domino Infero Deo Nostro" offer extended assaults of orthodox blasting. They create a massive wall of noise, dragging the listener through endless cold guitar runs. "Diabolus Sit In Corde Tuo, Et In Labiis Tuis, Ut Digne Et Competenter Annunties Evangelium Suum" keeps the speed high and the temperature sub-zero. The rhythm section simply bashes away without remorse. "Revelabitur Gloria Domini" operates in identical miserable territory.

This album gives you traditional black metal played by guys who are completely obsessed with the extreme underground. The riffs are freezing, the atmosphere is utterly dark, and the execution is hostile. Sometimes the longer tracks drag slightly, padding the runtime with redundant strumming. Even so, the sheer malice keeps your attention locked down. Diabolus, Mecum Semperterne! crafted a harsh descent into complete darkness.

Score: 8.0

Clawfinger |Before We All Die |Perception

Release Date February 20^th, 2026
Format: CD/Vinyl
Genre: Rap Metal
Country: Sweden

Clawfinger started their path of destruction back in 1990. Zak Tell and Jocke Skog crossed paths working in a geriatric hospital, cleaning up messes and dreaming of loud music. They dropped their massive debut album "Deaf Dumb Blind" in 1993. The guys quickly ended up touring alongside Alice In Chains and Anthrax. Decades later, they have destroyed massive stages like Monsters Of Rock in South America and completed over fifteen hundred gigs worldwide. Eighteen years after their last full release, Clawfinger finally returns with their eighth studio album, "Before We All Die".

"Before We All Die" delivers pure musical violence directed at a collapsing society. Zak Tell spits vicious lyrics targeting political hypocrisy, societal ruin, and environmental disasters. The vocals punch through heavy guitars and pounding drum beats. The music asks tough questions about a dying world and corrupt leaders. Bård Torstensen and Jocke Skog supply crushing riffs. Mické Dahlén and André Skaug keep the rhythm moving aggressively. The entire band attacks every track furiously. "Going Down (Like Titanic)" tackles a sinking society partying on the deck pretending everything is fine.

The onslaught continues heavily on "Big Brother", destroying fake reality and internet fame. Clawfinger brings insane energy to "Environmental Patients", diagnosing humans with massive selfishness. Personal struggles take over on "A Fucking Disgrace" and "Ball & Chain". These tracks focus on internal failures and modern existence pressures. "You Call Yourself A Teacher" violently screams at institutional ignorance. "Linked Together" rips apart emotional stubbornness destroying personal relationships.

"Scum" and "Tear You Down" spew total rage at right-wing politicians. The guys play brutally on every single song. They punish the microphones and the fretboards mercilessly. Clawfinger drops heavy music for metalheads wanting honest aggression. The Swedes deliver a fantastic punch to the skull.

Score: 8.0
