Tungsten- The Grand Inferno

Elyna Khan

I’m not gonna lie, I had never listened to Tungsten before, beyond knowing the name. However, in my experience, Tungsten is one of those bands whose name pops up in random conversations, and you immediately associate it with a specific genre. In my case, Stoner. I don’t know why, but anything that “smells like gasoline” to my ears makes me think of Stoner. By the way, if you’re curious, “smelling music” relates to a phenomenon called synesthesia.

God Dethroned – The Judas Paradox

Look at that art! It’s my thing! Despite a long career full of twists and turns, God Dethroned is still here, ready to show us that making Blackened Death Metal is an art few bands have mastered to this level. However, I won’t lie—it’s been a while since the band really hit me in the liver, more precisely since Under the Sign of the Iron Cross (oh, people! That title would get you in so much trouble today!). Yet, we’re all in for redemption and a return to form here. So, is The Judas Paradox a fresh slap in our faces, or is it going to punch like a two-year-old? Stick around!
