Suffering so you don't have to!
Vicky & Metalcatto
People change, people grow. They become musicians, leave a legacy behind, and sadly pass away when we need them the most. When they are still alive, no one cares about them, others treat them like scum, but the second they die, they become popular again, fans rediscover their music, and they forget that they once saw these artists as if they had plague and it was dangerous to get close to them.

Before our calendars even think about telling us that we have entered the realm of December, I think we need a top 10 songs that have been released throughout 2025 just to motivate us. Now these tracks have been carefully selected by yours truly after spending 11 months listening to almost every single new material that Spotify could provide in the Rock/Metal domain, as well as going to different shows in my beloved homeland.

Let’s say you’re ready to leave the peasantry behind. You’re fed up with all those 4×4 drums and predictable lyrics. You dread the chorus, you don’t want anything to rim. Yet you desperately crave something that surprises you in this world devoid of fun — or at least fun that doesn’t end with an HR complaint. Even after this ominous intro, you’re still on the fence about everything Avant-Garde. You just don’t know where to start, and you want a human touch, not just a machine showing the light — preferably a human who hasn’t been replaced by AI yet. Alright, let’s get to it then!

It’s that time of the week again! Let’s go!

Metalheads deserve to know whether they are the album they adore, according to their birth month. Through the power of astronomy I have made this list entirely from scratch. Alright, without the power of astronomy, just the power of your recommendations. So I’ve gathered some of the coolest albums my friends gave me (and that I thought were kind of good, too) and made a list.
Scroll down to find what album you should be listening to – Facebook/Instagram style. Enjoy!

Your favorite teenager underground Dark Metal (Symphonic, Doom, Gothic, Black, Death Metal – to name a few) specialist is back with an answer to a question most of us have probably got. Or, at least, to a question I’ve been getting since I first mentioned my musical styles of choice: is it really worth going to a Symphonic Metal show? To be brief, yes. Why? Find out in the next few lines.

If you’re reading this, it means you’re probably either very curious to find out who Cradle of Filth are, or you’re here to eventually correct me, stating things such as: “you are not trve enough.” Before we dig into the (sort of traumatizing) history of the Cradle, I think it would be alright for me to let you know how I, your laid-back Symphonic Metal fan, first started listening to them. It was a warm summer day, in 2025… No, let’s take it from scratch.

So many bands, so little time. Let’s start!

You guys are sending me so much stuff lately, so no need for an intro, let’s go!

You’ve probably been waiting for my take on guitar solos, so here it is — but first, a quick intro. My musical taste spans from Pop Rock and Indie to Brutal Death and Black Metal, and my picks reflect that range, though I’ve kept the Black Metal to a minimum (I know not everyone’s a Burzum or Darkthrone fan). I could ramble endlessly about what makes a great solo—or why “Nymphetamine Overdose” by Cradle of Filth and Liv Kristine is, in my view, a more refined take on Symphonic Gothic/Black Metal than “Nymphetamine Fix”—but I’ll spare you the tangents and get straight to the list.
