Kyiv-based black/thrash metal band Merzotna Potvora released their long-awaited full-length album "Halas Z Pekla". Here we discuss why it is worth listening to. 

Shiva the Destructor released the full-length LP “Find the Others”. It is a conceptual album that might as well be considered as a guide on escaping the Samsara or a guide to past life, no one would object to spend like the protagonist did: in the sixties, traveling and chilling out at the Woodstock.

At the end of the last year, the Ukrainian hard rock band presented their fourth full-length album "Tuboculimanica". Here is, why it is worth listening. 

The latest album by Hammerman Destroys Viruses showed the band in a somewhat unusual way to those who did not follow the band's live performances very actively. We tell you what makes the acoustic "Ctrl + Alt + Del" special and how the perception of the band's well-known lyrics was influenced by the play of pianist Oleksandra Morozova.

Poltava based label Sound Fortress appeared only this year, but has already treated us with some quite good releases. 

"Brekka" — an album recorded by the band Pree Tone in Iceland. Almost falling off a cliff in their car, the band spent four days in a small studio far from civilization. Today we finally listen and evaluate the result of that work. 

Today, the RobustFellow label presents the second mini-album of the band Ooze, which managed to change the sound quite a lot in a year. We tell you what to expect from this work. 

In March, the Ukrainian singer presented her first long-awaited full-length "Enigma" to the audience. We explain why this is a confident application to get into the top of the year. 

Statist позиціюють свою крайню роботу як "саркастичну сатиру на елементи повсякденного життя та статистичну оцінку простих побутових ситуацій, які відбуваються з нами щодня, приправлену чорним гумором". Олександр Нечай послухав EP та ділиться своїми враженнями. 

The history of this unconventional Ukrainian ensemble began back in 2011 with the forming of Parallax. 2013 saw the band renaming to Ignea and releasing their "Sputnik" EP. 2017 became the year when the "The Sign of Faith" was out, and this year the Kyiv quintet led by Helle Bogdanova finally presents us with their conceptual longplay with a solid instrumental base and oriental-sounding melodies, as well as lyrical and sometimes brutal vocals organically woven into this groundwork.

Cthulhu Rise publicized their "Last" EP release on the 24th of January on the collective’s Facebook page, adding description of mini album’s sound and place in their work – it appeares to be their swan song. The band itself stopped its activity a few years ago, so the numbered opuses of this release are nothing else but old material compilation.
