Canadian metal maniacs POWERMÖNGER hit the underground with a debut EP that sounds like it was smuggled out of 1985 in a crate of leather jackets and overheated amplifiers. Fast, sharp and gloriously unrefined, this is heavy/speed metal with the safety catch removed.

Hailing from Vancouver, POWERMÖNGER build their sound around razor-edged riffs, high-energy rhythms and the kind of choruses made for rooms full of raised fists. There is no attempt to modernize the formula into something slicker or safer; the band clearly love the danger, dirt and immediacy of early speed metal.

The title track opens with exactly the right amount of arrogance, while “Leather Legions” sounds tailor-made for denim, studs and sore necks. “Hellfighter”

Polish heavy metal warriors Młot na Czarownice return with *W Sidłach Złudzeń*, their long-awaited second album and a fierce successor to 2015’s *Popioły Wiar*. Classic steel meets sharp thrash-edged riffs, darker melodies and a new layer of atmospheric keyboards, giving their old-school fire a more sinister twist.

Recorded at Demontażownia Studio, the album explores the traps of human illusion, superstition, addiction and emotional manipulation. Ten tracks of uncompromising Polish metal, delivered with conviction and a welcome sense of musical maturity.

Unchained Vengeance ride into battle with *Unbound and Unforgiving*, a debut forged in the fires of classic epic heavy metal. Former Vicious Rumors vocalist Nick Courtney joins forces with multi-instrumentalist Nick Wusz for a storm of galloping riffs, commanding vocals and sword-wielding grandeur, where every chorus feels like a war cry.

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, the duo delivers ten tracks of steel-clad heavy metal, balancing muscular anthems with atmospheric dungeon synth interludes from Fen Walker. Rooted in the traditions of Iron Maiden, Doomsword and early HammerFall, the album embraces its fantasy themes with conviction, while leaving plenty of room for melody and dramatic storytelling.

THE TRACY G. GROUP come in heavy on “Makkinagedoom”, a dark slab of doom-soaked heavy metal built on filthy riffs, grinding grooves and Fabiano Negri’s powerful vocals. It sounds like the spirit of Tracy G’s DIO years dragged through a modern scrapyard and wired back to life.

Tracy G has never been the kind of guitarist who needed speed to sound dangerous. His best work has always come from weight, tension and riffs that feel like they were carved out of concrete, and “Makkinagedoom” leans hard into that side of his playing.

“Human Reptile” sets the tone immediately with one of the album’s strongest grooves, while “P.I.G.” and “Stagnation” push deeper into darker, almost industrial terrain. There is a he
