The Losts – Venom Within

Metalcatto

We still have some fresh reviews out of the oven for you before the holidays doom us all. I’ve loved all sorts of weird French Metal, you know that. However, we don’t get Darkwave Heavy Metal every day. In fact, my real fear is that The LostsVenom Within ends up being some kind of cheesy ride just like many other albums in the subgenre, but the season says I should be hopeful. So, I’ll do my best to not be a total snob today.

What We Lost in 2025

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.

10 great songs that were released in 2025

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.

Sacred Leather – Keep The Fire Burning

Metalcatto

It’s been a week full of emotionally draining releases, so I thought: fine, I’ll give something more uplifting a chance for once. Sacred Leather couldn’t have a name more Judas Priest-inspired. The album is even named Keep The Fire Burning — like there’s no way this music isn’t going to take me to a happy place, you know, where ice cream is free and taxes aren’t a necessary evil. Anyway, what should you expect from this Heavy Metal adventure?
