Opia – I Welcome Thee, Eternal Sleep [Things You Might Have Missed 2025]

By ClarkKent on January 5, 2026 in Things You Might Have Missed 2025, Doom Metal, Gothic Metal, 18 comments

“This stunning debut comes to us via members from across the globe—from England to Spain to Czechia to Brazil. Despite somewhat limited experience between them, the sextet plays like they’ve been jamming together for decades. They bring an eclectic range of styles from their previous and current bands, from black metal to scatological heavy metal to melodic doom to gothic metal, in order to craft a gentle yet brutal piece of gothic doom metal. I would like to give a warm welcome to Opia and their powerful debut album, I Welcome Thee, Eternal Sleep.” Sleep in the void.

Ulver – Neverland Review

By Mystikus Hugebeard on January 4, 2026 in Reviews, Electronic, Synthwave, 50 comments

“Happy New Year, ya filthy animals! How about we usher in this stupid year with something that came out on literally the last day of 2025. That’s right, a nice, breezy slice of industrial synthwave and ambient melancholy that sounds like something you’d hear from the radio on a cruisin’ Miami drive, but on like a miserably gloomy day. Which, if you’re familiar with Ulver, the purveyor of today’s jams, is equal parts straight outta left field and yet also predictable.” Postcards from the fringe.

The Austerity Program – Bible Songs 2 [Things You Might Have Missed 2025]

By Samguineous Maximus on January 1, 2026 in Things You Might Have Missed 2025, Mathcore, Noise Rock, 12 comments

“Speak to enough musicians in the underground who favor the sonically depraved, and you might hear word of two New Yorkers, who emerge now and then from the doldrums of normal life to unleash their unique brand of sonic chaos upon the unsuspecting masses. I’m talking, of course, about The Austerity Program, the criminally underrated duo of Justin Foley and Thad Calabrese who have delivered some of the greatest noise rock records of the 2000s.” Bibles, poverty, and noise.
