Hebephrenique – Decathexis
Metalcatto
When the band is named Hebephrenique and the album is titled Decathexis, you know they aren’t here to play My Little Pony. If anything, you should expect something that would ruin your breakfast harder than massive layoffs at your workplace. It’s been a while since we reviewed some sick Black/Death Metal around here. 2025 will be hard to top in that department, but that doesn’t mean we should disregard the underground so quickly.
Vomitory – In Death Throes
Metalcatto
The Death Metal band with the sexiest name ever is back. If Vomitory‘s In Death Throes is as good as anything the band has offered in its last two albums, then we can all go home happy and relieved that another OG band still has something to give to the world. Let’s not lie—this project restores our faith in brutality. There’s little to be worried about, right?

Lago – Vigil
Metalcatto
With artwork like that, you know this isn’t an album for grandma. Yet Lago is setting up expectations in a way that’s dangerous, because we absolutely judge a book by its cover. Vigil is supposed to be Death Metal that splits us all in two, but honestly it’s going to take more than just brutal blasting to impress me this time. I’m feeling demanding today. The bar is high, the patience low, and the coffee has worn off.
Gaerea – Loss
Metalcatto
Alright, it’s time. One of the most anticipated releases of the year has finally arrived. Love it or hate it, but nobody remains indifferent to Gaerea. I was skeptical at the beginning myself, and I still think Limbo remains their best work, though Coma came frustratingly close to dethroning it. So the question is: how is Loss going to top a remarkable run that almost no band has managed in the last ten years? We’ll see.

Trve Kvlt Special: Bragging Rights – A Comedy Divine
Metalcatto
I felt like bullying someone today, so I picked Bragging Rights – A Comedy Divine because I know he can take it. This is how I justify abuse, of course. At MER, we’re very familiar with the almost obsessive way this project churns out records. I do wonder if the title is ripping off Dante, but I’ll give it a pass for once. We have to check out those cymbals anyway.
Arroganz -Death Doom Punks
Metalcatto
Arroganz comes in with an album titled Death Doom Punks, which is such an edgy combination of words that I honestly thought I was reviewing Metalcore again for a moment. But no, this isn’t some poser melodrama. It’s something genuinely serious—as in Death Metal serious. But of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The band will need more than just throwing a few heavy riffs and hippo sounds my way to convince me it’s legit. I’m cranky today if you can’t tell.
