Pegah & Metalcatto
Hi there, people! We’re back to our usual Sunday schedule. Your submissions have been piling up, and it was about time I got to them. However, I’m not alone this time; Pegah is also joining us to take a look at some stuff you, our followers and readers, sent. Let’s go!
Misanthropic Planet – Demons Underworld Trance: Alright, this could be the most kvlt and rancid thing I review in 2025. If you’re not into old Darkthrone Black Metal production, don’t even bother. This is as raw as it gets. Yet, what I found interesting in Misanthropic Planet was the fact that each track plays with different ways to create abrasive and unfathomable lo-fi production. I didn’t even know we could have an album with different flavors of white noise. And for the true underground addicts, maybe that’s something worth exploring. Click here!
Orgone – Pleroma: Oh man! This is great! Why didn’t we find each other six months ago? Pleroma is an Avant-Garde and Progressive Metal adventure that I highly recommend to anyone who loves creative Metal. It’s just beautiful, sensitive, and touching, but don’t worry, there’s enough heaviness to also call this Death Metal. The production is also gentle and doesn’t overwhelm you with noise. Not everything in Metal has to be a sledgehammer; sometimes we can also have refined tools. Orgone feels like a small brush in comparison. Click here!
Shiver Down – The Void Supreme: The debut album of Italian Melodic Death Metal band Shiver Down blends Symphonic and Gothic elements with its dark, atmospheric sound. Exploring themes of suffering, grief, and existential despair, the album’s cover art features a skeleton symbolizing mortality, while dark blue tones evoke immortality, creating a striking contrast. The dynamic vocals—harsh growls, screams, and clean singing—are complemented by captivating melodies, intricate solos, and shifting atmospheres, delivering an emotionally rich experience. A refreshing departure from Doom Metal, the album reignites the energy and emotive power of Melodic Death Metal. Fans of Dark Tranquillity and Insomnium will find much to admire in its depth and sophistication. Click here!
Well, that’s it for this week. That was a weird bunch of bands that you probably knew nothing about, right? Now that we’ve provided you with your Sunday soundtrack, how about you tell us what you think about them? Next week, we’ll hit even closer to home and pick our friends’ work to judge. Hopefully, they’ll still be our friends after that. Wish us good luck!
