Here are our favorite releases of May 2023:
Matthew:
Haunt is one of the most active and consistent bands in heavy metal. Golden Arm continues the band’s relentless march of NWOTHM with blazing riffs and energetic anthems.
Connor:
Kalmah’s triumphant, awe-inspiring melodies are back in full force, and the band keeps their sound safely away from camp territory with a razor-sharp edge and blistering tempos, making this one of the better entries in their expansive canon.
Nathan:
The new Thantifaxath release was probably better, but it came out too late and I haven’t listened to it enough yet. In any case, Phlebotomized made a fascinating release that had stayed with me since I reviewed it. Not a lot of time, but this release feels substantial.
Ulver, Fellowship, Defeated Sanity, Nekus, Nepenthe
