Lady Luna and the Devil – Vampiric Visions Vol. II: Living Death

Lady Luna and the Devil is a doom- and gothic-metal band from Detroit, Michigan (USA). The project centers around Lady Luna (vocals, keys) and The Devil (guitars/bass), and their music blends dark, theatrical gothic elements with doom-laden atmospheres and heavy metal foundations.

The album opens in a theatrical way, starting with a short intro that immediately sets the tone and makes you want to continue listening. From there, the clean vocals take the center. It fit the concept and theme very well, and there is no doubt that the vocal performance is a key element of the album. For me, though, the vocals are a mixed experience,sometimes they work and support the atmosphere, other times they distance me from the music rather than pull me deeper into it.

Musically, the album feels very melodic and mood-driven, almost like a dark gothic adventure. There are doomed moments and darker passages throughout, but the focus is clearly on atmosphere rather than aggression which makes this  album feel consistent, but also somewhat one dimensional. Over time, the melodies start to blend together, and the overall experience can feel repetitive.

Because of this, the album comes across as a niche release for me I think it will  appeal most to listeners who are deeply into theatrical, gothic, and vampiric metal. Personally  I found myself wanting more riffs and a harder , darker edge to break up the clean and melodic dominance.

That said, the production quality is solid. The album sounds well put together, and everything sits where it should in the mix, this record need to be  experienced as a whole rather than track by track, with its strength lying in its overall atmosphere rather than individual standout songs.

Rating:  5/10

 Zero Gravity - My Jeffrey Dahmer I recently received a very friendly request from the band Zero Gravity to review their latest single, and I was happy to give it a listen. From Innsbruck, Tyrol, Zero Gravity is a band that thrives on unpredictability. Formed by Dionys Dorner (vocals, guitar) and Daniel Berger (drums) in their teens, and joined by Christian Hubmann (bass, vocals), the trio has carved out a path defined by bold experimentation and a refusal to be boxed into a single genre. Their music blends punk, rock ‘n’ roll, grunge, and now gothic and metalcore elements, with a recurring “broken glam” aesthetic — raw, chaotic, yet undeniably engaging. Their latest single, “My Jeffrey Dahmer” , is a provocative, ironic take on love songs, using a shocking metaphor to explore romantic failure with absurdist and nihilist undertones. The track carries a bitter sense of humor, with chaotic shifts in tone and energy that mirror the tension of its lyrical themes. Dionys’s vocals, at t...

For Ruin - Painted in colours of War

 My review on For Ruin - Painted in the colours of War Release : January 29th , 2026 Origin      : Cork , Ireland  Label      : Sentinel Records  Rating     : At The End Painted in the colours of War Painted In The Colours Of War is an album defined by atmosphere. From the very start , the mood is dark, heavy, and emotionally. This is not a record that rushes to impress,instead, it builds patiently , layer by layer, allowing tension and weight to accumulate before it finally releases. And when it does, it hits HARD . Musically, the album sits firmly within melodic blackened death metal . The guitars balance heaviness and melody well, creating riffs that feel both aggressive and expressive rather than purely technical. The drums are powerful and well-placed, giving the music a strong sense of drive without overwhelming the rest of the instrumentation. Everything feels intentional and controlled, yet never sterile. One of the key...

Victim - Nuclear Nightmare

 My Review on Victim - Nuclear Nightmare Release : December 6th , 2025 Origin     : Weimar , Germany Label      : Independent Rating    : At The End A blast of old-school thrash, raw energy, and unfiltered aggression. Nuclear Nightmare opens deceptively calm , a slow, brooding intro that lingers just long enough for you to wonder where it’s going, and then it detonates. The moment the drums hit, you’re thrown straight back into the era when thrash was dangerous, uncompromising, and bursting with youthful aggression. It feels like having an entire rehearsal room hurled at your face , in the best possible way. From the very start, Victim prove why the underground has been buzzing. The band delivers a blend of classic thrash, raw crossover energy, and subtle hints of hard rock and grunge. At times you hear Slayer. Other moments? Metallica. And occasionally a flash of early Sodom. These guys aren’t hiding their influences , they’re weaponizing...
