The Feedback Forge: The Promise Of Plague – The Earth Above, A Grave Beneath

Metalcatto

We’re back with another post where we give some harsh truths to our patrons and supporters. This time, we have an album that’s coming out in 2026, so we’re starting early with the dreadful year ahead. The Promise of Plague hits us with The Earth Above, A Grave Beneath. I must say, that’s a catchy title—there’s rhythm to it—but defining what Metal style the band plays became more enigmatic than the title itself. “This all sounds promising, Catto, why do you keep me waiting in line?” Because you didn’t bribe me to cut ahead, of course. Anyway, let’s get into it.

Lust Of Decay – Entombed In Sewage

Metalcatto

Did you think we were done reviewing new stuff this year? Well no! There are still many albums coming out left and right to the point I’m going to need to hire an assistant just to handle my mails (it’d make me feel so important!). Anyway Lust of Decay is an old-school Death Metal band, I know what you’re thinking, “another one? ok…”, but you see Entombed in Sewage is trying to give you an urban take on the old ways, and that’s not so common, right? Besides, this is practically a comeback album and I have a soft spot for those. Let’s begin.

Lost in the Riffstorm 2025: Part 2

Metalcatto

We keep trying to catch up in the little time we have left. This time, I bring more hostile stuff, because I believe this wasn’t the strongest year in terms of pointless brutality (sad!), but that doesn’t mean we weren’t going to find some gems laying around. Which is why we’re going to talk about some good old aggressive Metal now and more!

True kvlt special: Bragging Rights – Carpe Jugulum

Metalcatto

Bragging Rights is one of our oldest followers, so I have to disclose a conflict of interest here. Don’t worry, though — I’m just going to increase the usual banter with Carpe Jugulum. We’re back with your favorite Gojira-worshipping act, and this time we must embrace the artist’s hairline right away, as if he wanted us to admire his last trip to Turkey. Anyway, this is a deep-underground special, and I’m ready to believe those cursed cymbals are finally fixed. Can I dare to have hope? Let’s find out.

Sepulchral – Beneath The Shroud

Metalcatto

With a name like Sepulchral, you can’t expect Beneath the Shroud to sound like puppies calling for their mom. It’d be dissociative—which is why your instincts are right: this is a Death Metal band. The real question is how old-school it will be, and whether it will honor the North American tradition or the Nordic one. It’s always hard to tell from the start. So let’s remove those doubts right away and aim for the kill once and for all! There’s no time to waste!

QRIXKUOR- Womb of the World

Metalcatto

Not many bands can beat QRIXKUOR when it comes to impossible names to pronounce. Everything about this band exudes seriousness, the kind that promises music capable of taking you to new levels of despair and horror. Enter Womb of the World, an album that, judging by its cover art alone, is ready to fight for a spot in my top releases of the year. The album only has four tracks! This is either going to be amazing or crush my will to live in all the wrong ways. I’ll just warn you now: there won’t be anything easy about this tortuous journey.
