German thrash in full war mode - raw, hungry, and permanently set to attack. No polish, no mercy, just riffs marching straight into your frontal lobe.
Still sounds dangerous. Still is. 🤘💥 #thrashmetal #metalsky

A fellow Metalhead shared this album on vinyl the other day and I just had to go back and re-listen to it all over again. Over a year later, this one is still my favorite off the album. 🤘
“You fail yourself”

Short, violent, zero mercy—exactly the kind of Metal Blessings I can get behind. 🤘😄

It marks the transition toward the band’s later blackened #deathmetal dominance and is rough, uneven, but absolutely essential in understanding Behemoth’s evolution

#ByoNoiseGenerator - Subnormal Dives
Chaotic, noisy, abrasive. Grind as malfunction. Structure dissolves, noise takes over, brain follows shortly after.

#CausticWound - Grinding Mechanism of Torment
Pure old-school grind violence. No experiments, no irony – just blunt force trauma delivered efficiently and repeatedly.

#BlindEquation - A Funeral in Purgatory Grindcore colliding head-on with Nintendocore chaos. Hyperactive, absurd, emotionally overloaded and completely unhinged.
Sounds like a corrupted game cartridge screaming back at you.

#ImperialTriumphant - Goldstar
Skewed, off-kilter, and completely out of joint – just like 2025 itself.
This is their opus magnum: far more focused, yet simultaneously more uncompromising than the six albums before it.

Grind is my natural habitat.
And oh boy! 2025 was a strong, wildly innovative, deeply unorthodox year for the genre.
Uncomfortable ideas, broken structures, zero handrails. Exactly how grind should feel. 🪚💥

#YellowEyes - Confusion Gate
Cerebral, abrasive, demanding.
Black metal that doesn’t want to please – and that’s exactly why it sticks.
More mind than heart, but still pitch black. 🧠🖤

#Ghost Bath - Rose Thorn Necklace
Controversial? Absolutely.
Black metal? Debatable.
But: I like them. Period.
Desperate, depressive, emotionally overloaded – it just works for me. 🌹🖤

#Blackbraid - Blackbraid III
I’ll say it upfront: a bit weaker than the predecessors.
That said, even a “weaker” Blackbraid album is still damn strong.

A lot of solid releases – but once again, that one album towering brutally above everything else was missing for me this year.
🥇 PLATINUM:
#Gràb - Kremess
Dark, earthy, archaic. No trend-black, no Instagram-black.

Rivers of Nihil / #RiversOfNihil
Introspective, evolving death metal – emotional without going soft.
Nightmare Fuel / #Guts
Raw, grinding death metal violence. No polish, just impact.

Phoenix Cryptobiosis / #Avulsed

Dense, suffocating death metal with ritualistic weight.

Malignant Worthlessness – #Pissgrave
This album does not want to be beautiful. No melody worship. No technical flexing. No “atmosphere” for comfort.
This is death metal in its original sense: repulsive, hostile, inhuman. A deliberate rejection of accessibility.
Uncompromising to the core
