2025 is rolling along at a disturbingly brisk pace, and because of this (and through no fault of our own), we find ourselves a few months behind with our Record(s) o’ the Month pieces. February had a collection of big-time releases, and no matter what we selected, some quality albums would get unfairly shafted. As always, we used our proprietary blend of democratic voting and top-down dictatorial edicts to arrive at the big winners. This is the violence forever inherent in the AMG system, and it’s worked for us so far.1<\/a><\/sup> Embrace it.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Should it come as any surprise that the Finnish warriors in Havukruunu <\/strong>claimed the throne for February by laying waste to all pretenders and false prophets? They’ve been ruling the Bathory<\/strong>core roost with an iron fist for years, and on Tavastland<\/em><\/a>, they keep the swords sharp and shields stout. As before, the burly Viking metal sound references Bathory<\/strong>, Immortal<\/strong>, and Moonsorrow<\/strong> at their best, as Havukruunu <\/strong>march across muddy fields of battle in blood-spattered armor. This is martial music to be spun with axe in hand and glory in thine heart. Epic, sweeping soundscapes unfold with a vintage black metal energy, propelling robust tales of heroes and conquests. War chants join pounding drums and scathing riffs, and you’ll feel like He-Manowar<\/strong> by the end of the first song. As a loincloth-clad and oiled-up Doc Grier<\/strong><\/span> proudly proclaimed, “Not only does Tavastland<\/i> continue to show a band that never disappoints\u2014and continues to get better\u2014but it\u2019s one of their best-produced records.” Get this or be cast off Crom’s Mountain.<\/p>\n

Runner(s) up:<\/h3>\n

\"\"Grima<\/strong> \/\/ Nightside<\/em><\/a> – From Russia with love comes the atmospheric black\/folk sounds of Grima<\/strong> once again. On Nightside<\/em>, the accordion is still the law, and urgency and aggression are at a premium. Traces of grand symphonic doom flit around the edges as Grima<\/strong> plays with a sweeping tapestry of sound, keeping the atmosphere at the forefront. The writing is sharp and slick, and the folk elements are used adroitly to accent and offset the heaviness. As a well-impressed Carcharodon<\/strong><\/span> gushed, “Grima<\/strong>\u2019s songwriting continues to progress, and Nightside<\/em> feels like the most nuanced and best-paced outing to date.” Accordions never lie.<\/p>\n

\"\"Maud the Moth<\/strong> \/\/ The Distaf<\/a>f<\/em> – Putting genre labels on Maud the Moth<\/strong> feels futile, but the project of vocalist Amaya L\u00f3pez-Carromero references darkwave, post-rock, and prog as The Distaff<\/em> weaves its odd and unique spellcraft. Through twists and turns, L\u00f3pez-Carromero is the guiding light, leading the listener through myriad moods and emotions, always enchanting, beguiling. The Distaff<\/em> may not qualify as a metal album, but it lurks outside the genre, waiting to strike the unwary. It left a stunned Dolphin Whisperer<\/strong><\/span> gasping, ” Without a peer, Maud the Moth<\/strong> threatens to fly freely at the top of its own constructed throne.” Leave the lights on and let the right one fly in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
