  The Metal Forge - 387 - -(16)- 10.07.2026 1t 3min

  Bobby Ferry returns at the helm as the band's visceral vocalist and guitarist, and in true -(16)- fashion, belts out stories of pain and unhinged anguish. Standout tracks like "Proudly Damned” see the band playing at the crowd while Ferry shares tales of personal strife and depression: "To defile and offend/These are the demons found within/The sullen face of communion’s alarm/It’s an incentive to do more harm." Ferry is absolutely seething while the band plows through a virulent mix of rock, metal, and sludge. Dion Thurman's pounding drum set, Ferry and Alex Shuster's heavier-than-anything-else guitars, and the lowest low end from bassist Barney Firks herald tones so low they're nearly apocalyptic.Official Links:Bandcamp: https://16theband.bandcamp.comMetal Archives:https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/16/33709Passionate about metal?

  The Metal Forge - 386 - Erdve 03.07.2026 57min

  The band ERDVE is renowned for embarking on unconventional ventures, opting to perform in locations that may initially seem incongruous with their musical style or are not typically recognized as standard venues. Their first such performance occurred at St. John's Church in 2019, followed by another at Lukiškės Ex-Prison, both situated in Vilnius, Lithuania.Following the release of their second album, the band took a hiatus to reevaluate their connection with music, identifying elements that would authentically convey their future vision. This introspection culminated in their 2026 release, EPIGRAMA, which presents a familiar yet fundamentally innovative approach to experimenting within the realms of heavy music and reflective storytelling. The objective was to achieve meticulous consistency among the music, lyrics, and sound production, ensuring that every component of the song synergizes to create a meaningful impact. This album signifies a new chapter for ERDVE, characterized by rediscovery, experimentation, and raw expression.Official Links:Bandcamp: https://erdvesom.bandcamp.com/album/Passionate about metal?

  The Metal Forge - 385 - Dysthen 26.06.2026 1t 1min

  Emerging from the frostbitten streets of Stockholm, Sweden, Dysthen introduces a compelling new voice in the music scene. This raw, enigmatic entity channels the profound duality of existence, exploring themes of beauty and decay, nature and numbness, and the pervasive gloom that accompanies the gradual disintegration of the self. Dysthen forges a unique path, eschewing clichés in pursuit of emotional authenticity, natural isolation, and the resonant silence of dissonance. Their highly anticipated self-titled EP, "Lupus and Bledbloom," serves as a profound meditation on the dual nature of suffering and the peculiar solace it can offer.Official Links:Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/dysthenPassionate about metal?

  The Metal Forge - 384 - Shi 19.06.2026 1t 39min

  In Louisville, KY, while swamps may be absent, the heavy sounds of Shi create an atmosphere that feels eerily murky. Their music navigates the familiar territory of self-harm and degradation, yet they deliver it with a unique intensity that feels like a new experience. The piercing vocals soar over gritty riffs, establishing a groove that is often missing in standard stoner doom bands. In a paradox where chaos gives rise to order, Shi transforms their dark themes into uplifting sonic moments, inviting listeners into a world where the duality of getting high and grappling with despair coexist. Instead of questioning the how, one should inquire about the extent of their experience.Official Links:Bandcamp: https://shilouisville.bandcamp.comMetal Archive: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/%E6%AD%BB/3540399865Passionate about metal?

  The Metal Forge - 379 - Duel 15.05.2026 1t 37min

  DUEL is a band from Austin, Texas, that plays psychedelic stoner doom metal. They love the spooky sounds from the early 70s. Their music is super intense and old-fashioned, with heavy beats and loud guitars. It's turned up to the max! Their album "Valley of Shadows" is full of songs about magic, curses, and devils. There are eight awesome tracks that show off their skills, from wild metal anthems to guitar battles like Thin Lizzy, and fast shredding like Motorhead. They recorded these songs during the winter at a studio in the Texas desert, and you can almost feel the late-night jam sessions in every tune. It's probably their best album yet, with solid rock songs from start to finish. Their fifth album, "Breakfast With Death," has nine fast and heavy tracks that capture the energy of their live shows. Each song is like a party, full of energy and excitement!Official Links:Bandcamp: https://heavypsychsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/duel-breakfast-with-deathMetal Archive: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Duel/3540407752Passionate about metal?

  The Metal Forge - 371 - Nu Metal 20.03.2026 1t 32min

  When I first discovered Nu Metal, I was 13. It was 1996, the world was different. Suddenly the aggressions of the early 1990’s “Peace in the Middle East” campaign where schools would have you recite the pledge of allegiance every morning and then a prideful listen to a song by Lee Greenwood, “Proud to be an American”. What was there to be proud of? In that time there were riots in the streets where angry musicians looted and sang about it, where the police brutality raged on in the major metroplexes. When you look back at it, it really seems like something of a movie, from time period staples of the day like “Falling Down”, “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” in the overtly west coast scene along with other films based in a post apocalyptic Los Angeles in “Demolition Man” & “Judge Dredd”. However there were just as many cop revenge story films from New York and Miami as well, if it was a way to exploit it, it was to be done.The music that comes into play where people realized that the only warfare was class warfare. It’s us vs. them… a manifesto where we can all get together and make a difference. The rage of the 1990’s fallout of the Reagan Administration in the 1980’s where people were promised that if they gave they would receive and they were to be recipients of a shit sandwich and a crashed pyramid scheme economy that still impacts us to this very day. The ruthless aggression was all over the news, things like “Inside Tonight”, “Hard Copy” and so much more where it exposed the dregs of humanity. Bands united and scenes mixed where bands would often mix elements of Rap, Hip-Hop, Electronica and more into the metal culture.Insert yourself at 13, where you often are coming of age to a sort (especially in the United States) and rage and angst is rampant and you just want to be understood, all we can do is to be better.

  The Metal Forge - 363 - Helms Deep 23.01.2026 1t 9min

  Helms Deep, a band forged in the fires of 2017 by the guitar-slinging, vocal-cord-abusing Alex Sciortino, had a vision: to resurrect the raw, untamed spirit of 1980s speed/power metal. Think Riot, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, but with a twist of prog and fusion thrown in for good measure. Sciortino's songwriting draws from a vast well of inspiration, from the iconic metal bands of the '80s to the labyrinthine sounds of '70s rock, fusion, and prog.This project was brewing for about five years before Sciortino joined forces with the thunderous drumming of Mike Heller (Raven, Malignancy, ex-Fear Factory) and the earth-shaking bass of John Gallagher (Raven). Together, they crafted Helms Deep's debut album, Treacherous Ways. The album quickly caught the ear of Nameless Grave Records, who signed the band for an official release in 2023.And now, hot on the heels of their 2025 release, "Chasing the Dragon," Helms Deep is ready to unleash their sonic fury once more! If you're a fan of face-melting guitar solos, thunderous rhythms, and vocals that could shatter glass, then Helms Deep is a band you need to check out, trust me you won't regret it!Official Links:Bandcamp: https://helmsdeep666.bandcamp.com/Metal Archive: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Helms_Deep/3540530406Passionate about metal?
