For nearly three decades, Sunn O))) have continuously redefined the limits of heavy music, merging Drone, Doom, and Avantgarde experimentation into a sound entirely their own. With their self-titled tenth album, their first full-length of new material since Pyroclasts (2019), and debut on Sub Pop, Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson return to the primal core of the duo format, crafting an immersive and elemental work that proves their singular sound is still evolving.

Neo-FolkRitual Ambient

Rituals, soundscapes and the imagery of Scandinavian folklore are the basis for the new Askemåne record, named Kollisjon. The fascination derived from Northern culture and history has culminated in the second long-play by the French band, in a more structured way than the previous works.

Maybe I am slightly biased because of my personal connections to the land where Limbs are from, but man, this record is amazing. Simply amazing in a blood-gushing brilliance, in a mysterious manner, a thoughtful form, highly atmospheric ambiance. I conclude, one of the best records I have heard in Mathcore circles in a very long time. Not because I am biased, but because Like a Poet, Keen to the Rustle of Leaves is really astonishing!

Free Jazz

Collective Heliophobic Dream by Free Jazz trio Suncuts is a rare case where metaphor is not used for its own sake but becomes a working compositional tool. The sun here is not a poetic image but a state: a source of energy that both nourishes and burns, attracts and repels. It is within this dual tension that the album’s sonic architecture unfolds.

When the wife is reacting to a record on the car stereo without the regular “Uargh – what is that? Well, do not need to know, could we listen to something else?” then it is already worth noticing. When the record then still annoys here, the music must be somewhat different, and ZAHN’s new record Purpur surely is. In which way?

The other day, a buddy of mine asked me to name some bands I’m covering at the moment. “Witch Ripper,” I replied, singling out perhaps the best of the bunch. My friend’s forehead bunched up, as if to say, “Huh?” without actually verbalizing the sentiment. “Which Ripper? You mean to tell me there are more than one now? Doesn’t Tim Owens own the rights to that nickname?”

Man, with two weeks of having listened to this record constantly I only have only single thing to complain about An Undying Love For A Burning World - one cannot ask people any longer: “Which band do you prefer – Neurosis or Isis?” Is this already the Album of 2026? Probably.

Sometimes you’ve just got to manifest miracles through stubbornness. Like when I kept standing in the centre of the first row watching a band from Leeds with a scribbled penis in their logo and despite all odds somehow survived the whole show without being hit by gobs of spit, half-empty beer cans or ball-sweat flavoured handshakes of their frontman. Yes, The Shits are as delightfully disgusting as their name promises.

There are bands who use science fiction as décor, and there are bands who submit themselves to it so completely that the music begins to behave like a star map, a war chronicle, a ruined scripture hauled from some pressure-crushed archive at the lip of a dead moon.

Sleaford Mods return with The Demise of Planet X, released via Rough Trade, a record that doesn’t imagine the end of the world, it documents it in real time. Bleak, biting, and often darkly funny, the album captures a society running on fumes. You know you’re in for an honest ride.

From the ashes of bands from the Philadelphia hardcore scene, a new band was born. Its name is Colossal Rains, and, as the name suggests, they bring a massive sound that is destined to leave a mark on the ground. It’s not so usual to find a record that keeps you glued to the speakers from the first track to the last, but when it happens, you could listen to it several times a day without getting annoyed. Today, we’re delving into the first LP of this quartet from Philly: Feral Sorrow by Colossal Rains.
