Welcome to a brand-new episode of my weekly metal roundup series—where I check out some of the latest metal releases dropping over the weekend and give you quick, no-nonsense reviews.
In this series, I keep it simple: a brief intro to each band, any personal connection I might have, a look at a few standout (or disappointing) tracks, and a final score out of 10. And starting now, I’m also ranking each release from lowest to highest score by the end of the episode.
Last weekend was absolutely stacked, so I’m carrying over a couple of albums I didn’t get to—while also diving into this week’s lighter batch of releases.
Albums covered in this episode:
OBEY THE SUN – Desert Ritual (EP)
Forlorn Citadel – An Oath Undone
Bloody Valkyria – Requiem: Reveries of the Dying
GREEN CARNATION – A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis
Myrath – Wilderness Of Mirrors
Cruel Force – Haneda
Vanir – Wyrd
Michael Sweet – The Master Plan (2026)
If you're looking for new metal to check out—or just want to see what’s worth your time—this series has you covered.
👉 Let me know in the comments which of these albums you’ve heard and how you’d rank them.
👉 And don’t forget to subscribe for more weekly reviews, deep dives, and classic album retrospectives.
