Heat blisters metal and scorches dirt. Power bills rise relentlessly, without mercy. These are the signs of summer in the brutal ductwork that is our hallowed Filter. But we continue onward in search of those metallic scraps that provide such unbridled joy to our masses. The only variable: who of my trusted team will survive this season, and who will perish in the service of this sacred duty?</p><p>We won’t know the answer until this article gets published. And when it is, the statistics will be fabricated and obfuscated accordingly. So ignore the death toll and instead peep the haul!</p> <p><strong><span>Kenstrosity’s Meanest Meanies</span></strong></p><p><strong><a href="http://shadowofintent.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Shadow of Intent</strong></a> <strong>// <em>Imperium Delirium </em></strong>[June 12th, 2025 – Self-Release]</strong></p><p>For over a decade, Connecticut/Rhode Island melodic deathcore independents <strong>Shadow of Intent </strong>challenged the standards of the genre by offering album after album of ripping tracks filled with drama, clever songwriting, and demolishing vocal talent. In their catalog, <em>Elegy</em> was the one record of theirs that didn’t stick with me. However, <em>Imperium Delirium</em> rapidly righted the ship with 55 minutes of opulent, evil, and crushing melodic destruction. Raging through its first half without a single misstep, <em>Imperium Delirium</em> is a focused effort chock full of devastating heft, buttery smooth songwriting, and a favorable riffs-to-breakdowns ratio. The back half focuses on drama and orchestration just a touch more, but songs like “Feeding the Meatgrinder,” “Vehement Draconian Vengeance,” and “No Matter the Cost” still bring the violence required to annihilate entire planets. Championing this unending assault of killer tunes, Ben Duerr’s vocal performance is intimidating to say the least, easily reinforcing his rightful place as one of the very best extreme vocalists in the scene today. Of course, the record is still too long by about 10 minutes, and a fair amount of that bloat comes from the slightly overblown self-titled closer. Additionally, while I appreciate the reverent nod to the instrumental talent on “Apocalypse Canvas,” I don’t believe it adds enough to the story of this record. Nonetheless, <em>Imperium Delirium</em> might be one of my favorite <strong>Shadow</strong>s<strong> of Intent</strong>, and I look forward to where it leads me next.</p><p></p><p><strong></strong></p> <p><strong><span>ClarkKent’s Literary Listen</span></strong></p><p><strong><strong><a href="https://nightbearer.bandcamp.com/album/defiance" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Nightbearer</a> // <em>Defiance</em> [June 13, 2025 – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/testimonyrecords" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Testimony Records</a>]</strong></strong></p><p>Anyone looking for a mashup of Phillip Pullman’s <em>His Dark Materials</em> trilogy and Gothenburg melodeath, look no further than the latest album from Germany’s <strong>Nightbearer</strong>. <em>Defiance</em> marks album number three in the band’s repertoire, and a continuation of their worship of fantasy epics.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-june-2025s-angry-misses/#fn-220370-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> Right off the bat, the catchy harmonic guitar lead of “His Dark Materials” summons <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/yer-metal-is-olde-dark-tranquillity-character/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Dark Tranquillity</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/at-the-gates-the-nightmare-of-being-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>At the Gates</strong></a>. The guitar work by Dominik Hellmuth and Tristan Schubert is fantastic throughout–their creative melodies bring to mind lively outfits like <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/brymir-voices-in-the-sky-things-you-might-have-missed-2022/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Brymir</strong></a>. Michael Torka’s beastly growls and Manuel Lüke’s thunderous drumming add some brutality and weight to the harmonious riffs. A few songs even go full brutal death metal (“One Church Over All”, “Dying Knows No Bounds”). Perhaps the standout track comes from the 9-minute epic, “Ascension.” It starts with an eerie synth intro before breaking out into some of the best riffs on <em>Defiance</em>. Then, just as things settle down, the song builds back up and explodes into something straight from <em>Blackwater Park</em>-era <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/opeth-the-last-will-and-testament-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Opeth</strong></a>. Overall, this is an impressive collection of songs that’s sure to scratch that HM-2 itch.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span>Tyme’s Juxtaposed Jotting</span></strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/lipoma.official/?hl=en" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Lipoma</a> // <em>No Cure for the Sick</em> [June 13th, 2025 – <a href="http://www.gurglinggore.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gurgling Gore</a>]</strong></p><p>Melodic gore-grind.

And California-based <strong>Lipoma</strong>’s new album, <em>No Cure for the Sick</em>, proves it’s a pretty fucking cool thing at that—the brainchild of one Max Pierce (aka Dr. Lipoma).<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-june-2025s-angry-misses/#fn-220370-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2</a> Since going live in 2021, <strong>Lipoma</strong> has been insanely active, releasing a slew of splits and EPs along with two full-length albums: 2022’s <em>Horrors of Pathology</em> and 2023’s <em>Odes to Suffering</em>. And while <strong>Lipoma</strong> has steadily worked to make comparisons with fellow purveyors like <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/carcass-torn-arteries-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Carcass</strong></a>, <strong>Lymphatic Phlegm</strong>, and <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-aprils-angry-misses/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Pharmacist</strong></a> less relevant, <em>No Cure for the Sick</em> moves things to a different ballpark, one full of Gothenburgian melodicism (“Cult of the Firehealers,” “Glory to the Blade”), post-metallic pop-punk optimism (“Cardiac Scars Forever,” “Psalms of Psoriasis”), indecipherable gurgles, and organ, which is what sets <strong>Lipoma</strong>’s <em>No Cure for the Sick</em> apart not only from previous efforts, but the pack in general. From the circus-like atmosphere shrouding opener “The Sea Surgeon,” Pierce’s use of organ permeates much of <em>No Cure for the Sick</em>’s forty minutes, buoying the melodic heaviness and excellent solo work with jig-like danceability (“Remedies of Pagan Medicine,” “Last Anatomy of Johan Ziegler,” “No Cure for the Sick”). Pierce’s melodically charged instrumentation, when juxtaposed against his gore-ground gurglings—a combo that works in a way it has no right to—sees <strong>Lipoma</strong> doing something I find wholly unique, a rarity in today’s digital age. I have had a ton of fun with <em>No Cure for the Sick</em>, and if you’ve not checked it out yet, do so post haste.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span>Iceberg’s Frosty Forget-Me-Nots</span></strong></p><p><strong><strong><a href="https://puppemagnetik.bandcamp.com/album/aina-virtanen-presents-circus-macabre" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Puppe Magnetik</a> //</strong> <em><a href="https://puppemagnetik.bandcamp.com/album/laudans-deum" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Laudans Deum</a> </em>[June 6th, 2025 – <a href="https://thecirclemusic.gr/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Circle Music</a>]</strong></p><p><em>Laudans</em> <em>Deum</em> is not for the faint of heart, if that album cover didn’t quite convince you. The debut compilation of <strong>Puppe</strong> <strong>Magnetik</strong>, the record dives deep into the recesses of the human psyche. Aina Virtanen weaponizes industrial metal, ambient, and drone, wrapped up in the stylings of the Weimar Republic. An accomplished classically-trained musician, Virtanen uses her clean vocals sparingly (“Who Will Sing This Sorrow,” “Labyrinth”) but to great effect, reminiscent of <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/diablo-swing-orchestra-swagger-stroll-down-the-rabbit-hole-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Diablo</strong> <strong>Swing</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong></a>. But the accessibility stops there; <em>Laudans Deum</em>’s thirteen tracks are comprised of ambient meditations (“Moritat”), ear-splitting electronic barrages (“Suspendium, Rosarium et Crucifixu”), and mood music fit for a throwback horror movie (“The Pregnant Nun,” “Patient AV”). But within the graveyard are scattered moments of respite; the gorgeously rendered classical guitar of “Timeless Serenade” and the haunting vocals of “Laments From The Desert.” While the album is unforgivingly through-composed, making for an exceptionally difficult first listen, there’s something darkly endearing about it. I’m reminded of Sergei Prokofiev, the Russian composer whose music was often described as both grotesque and starkly beautiful. <strong>Puppe Magnetik</strong> have produced a challenging record, but it’s worth a listen for those who enjoy avant-garde music and the stranger, more terrifying corners of the aural arts.</p><p></p><p><strong><strong><a href="https://allmenuntome.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">All Men Unto Me</a> //</strong> <a href="https://allmenuntome.bandcamp.com/album/requiem" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>Requiem</em></a> [June 27th, 2025 – The Larvarium]</strong></p><p>A little more metal, but a lot more challenging, <strong>All Men Unto Me’s</strong> <em>Requiem</em> brings to bear the full weight of spiritual suffering. <em>Requiem</em> is a direct interpretation of the Latin Mass for the Dead, it’s eight tracks playing all the hits. Fuzzed out, half-time doom takes a supporting role in a record that heavily features pipe organ, acoustic guitar, and string leads. Rylan Greaves takes a unique approach here, subverting the natural tension and release of the rite by injecting clanging noise into passages normally reverent. Their vocal performance is the unrepentant star of the show, at times crystalline (“Introit”) at others sobbing (“Kyrie”) straining (“Agnus Dei”) and howling (“Sequentia”). The album takes its time to sink its claws into you, with long track lengths and extended droning chords requiring patience. But pay close attention to Greaves’ lyrics and you can’t help but be pulled into the raw, emotional drama of <em>Requiem</em>. The rising, ethereal sunset of “In Paradisum,” the falsetto whisper speaking “God knows what I’d be without you” against an impossibly high, ever so slightly off-key bell-tone. One’s left wondering the true meaning of that line as the track ends, and the dead remain silent. A powerful statement indeed.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span>Killjoy’s Fabulous Find</span></strong></p><p><strong><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/FabulaRasaD/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Fabula Rasa</a> // <em>Tome II: The Beyond</em> </strong>[June 13th, 2025 – Self-Release]</strong></p><p>The words “fabulous” and “fable” are interconnected, both derived from the Latin word “fabulosus.” And since folk music and power metal draw heavily from fables and myths, the portmanteau <strong>Fabula Rasa</strong> is a fitting name for a group that blends both genres. Following the lead of forebears <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/elvenking-reader-of-the-runes-divination-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Elvenking</strong></a> and early <strong>Mägo de Oz</strong>, this spirited crew from Düsseldorf, Germany, infuses what would otherwise be standard—but good!—heavy/power metal with lots of violin. The violin and guitar trade off playing the lead melodies, though the former tends to have greater emphasis. But fret not, shred-heads, for the guitar solos are also exemplary in the more power metal-leaning songs, like “Dragon Rising” and “Vengeance Is Mine.” The violin often carves its own folksy space, the cheery, zippy fiddling akin to <strong>Dalriada</strong> (“At Full Moon,” “Anthem of the North”). Most songs are energetic, but “Burning Innocence” is a pleasant surprise midway through the record, with hand drums and the other band members’ vocal contributions creating an intimate group setting. Don’t miss this charismatic performance from these fabulous musicians.</p><p></p> <p><strong><span>Maddog’s Sludgy Selection</span></strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579075420766#" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Dimscûa</a> // <a href="https://dimscua.bandcamp.com/album/dust-eater" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em>Dust Eater</em></a> [June 3rd, 2025 – Self-Release]</strong></p><p>While sludge is a dime a dozen, few bands scratch the same itch as <strong>Amenra</strong>’s best work. The UK’s <strong>Dimscûa</strong> aims to correct this oversight. <em>Dust Eater</em> opens with “Elder Bairn,” whose rhythmic riffs evoke the meditative power of <strong>LLNN</strong>. After this appetizer, the album’s interplay between brawn and heart rivals <strong>Amenra</strong>. While <strong>Dimscûa</strong>’s muscular riffs drive the album forward (“Existence/Futility”), <em>Dust Eater</em> stands out through its hypnotic melodies. The heartache in these melodies is palpable, magnified by tortured vocals that recall <strong>Julie Christmas</strong>. Because of this ebb and flow, the album never feels bloated despite its eight-minute average track length. For instance, “Existence/Futility” abandons and then suddenly resurrects its driving main riff, adding unexpected variety and lodging into my memory. <em>Dust Eater</em>’s climaxes sometimes fall short, like the fizzle-out ending of “The Dusteater.” But despite its imperfections, <strong>Dimscûa</strong>’s debut is a powerful outing in a neglected style.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-june-2025s-angry-misses/#fn-220370-3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">3</a></p><p></p> <p><strong><span><strong>Dear Hollaback’s Ain’t No B-A-N-A-N-A-S<br></strong></span></strong></p><p><strong>Various Artists // <i>KPop Demon Hunters [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] </i>[June 20th, 2025 – <a href="https://www.republicrecords.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Republic Records</a>]<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stuck-in-the-filter-june-2025s-angry-misses/#fn-220370-4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">4</a></strong></p><p>Okay, look.

The focal girl group <strong>HUNTR/X </strong>does most of the heavy lifting, also tossing in enough pop culture-inclined battle hymns to make the republic jealous (“How It’s Done,” “Takedown”). Their on-screen rivals <strong>Saja Boys </strong>offer entendre-layered sugary pop (the infamous “Soda Pop”) and sinister Gregorian-influenced choruses (“Your Idol”). Beyond the novelty is intentionality: clever chord progressions that feel continually transcendent rather than stagnantly by-the-numbers (“What It Sounds Like”), diminuendos of authenticity among bombasts of a glossy sheen (“Golden”), touches of dissonance paired with unsettling slant rhymes (“Your Idol”), and rhythmic complexity building to ethereal climaxes of soaring belts (“Free”). While yes, I’m telling you to give it a spin, I am also giving excuses for why my review count dropped to critical this summer. Fuck off, I’m gonna be, gonna be golden.</p><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a

Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/lord-of-the-lost-opvs-noir-vol-1/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Lord of the Lost – Opvs Noir Vol. 1</a></p><p><i>By ClarkKent</i></p><p>Chris Harms has been in the music business since 1999, but it wasn’t until founding <strong>Lord of the Lost</strong> in 2007 that he seems to have found his home. I say this not because I am familiar with him or the band, but because Harms has released ten full-length albums, three orchestral albums, four live albums, and one compilation since forming <strong>Lord of the Lost</strong>. Probably <strong>Lord of the Lost’s</strong> biggest claim to fame is their participation at Eurovision in 2023, representing Germany, where they unfortunately placed last in the final round. But wait, isn’t Eurovision for pop music? Why are these guys being covered on Angry Metal Guy? Apparently, they’re metal enough to sign to Napalm Records and also have toured with <strong>KMFDM</strong> and <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/learning-senjutsu-at-the-amg-rodeo-putting-the-newish-iron-maiden-album-out-to-pasture/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Iron Maiden</strong></a>. And now with Eurovision in the rearview mirror, <strong>Lord of the Lost</strong> look to return to their darker roots with <em>Opvs Noir Vol. 1</em>, the first in a planned trilogy.</p><p><strong>Lord of the Lost</strong> play <strong>Rammstein</strong>-inspired industrial metal with a gothic tinge and pop beats. Synths typically dominate the mix, but occasionally the guitars take over on heavier cuts like “Damage” and “Lords of Fyre.” What surprised me most was the variety of sounds on <em>Opvs Noir Vol. 1</em>, from the folk-y instruments on “Lords of Fyre” to the use of symphonics throughout. The chants, organs, and strings on cuts like “Moonstruck” evoke <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/fleshgod-apocalypse-opera-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Fleshgod Apocalypse</strong></a>, and they often bring a cinematic touch, which is appropriate given the musicians’ penchant for elaborate costumes and makeup. On top of this already grandiose blending of genres is a touch of hip hop, most apparent on “Bazaar Bizarre,” where Harms semi-raps over rhythmic beats. While these descriptions might scare many of you off, this is actually a lot of fun. The songs are catchy and the mix of styles means you never know what you’ll get from track to track.</p><p>Anchoring the music is the performance of Harms, as well as the choice of collaborators throughout <em>Opvs Noir Vol. 1</em>. Harms has an undeniable charisma–his voice has a dark, sexy tenor that fits perfectly in either pop or heavy metal. He reminds me of <strong>Billy Idol </strong>and that dude who sings “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1GxjzHm5us&amp;pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Blue Monday.</a>” Harms also tries on some occasional death metal growls, and while his voice isn’t as brutal as those more practiced in the style, they’re effective in the few instances he uses them. Aiding Harms is a well-curated mix of collaborators, from the obscure to the more well-known. Notably, <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/within-temptation-resist-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Within Temptation</strong></a> performs a duet with <strong>Lord of the Lost</strong> on the slow tearjerker, “Light Can Only Shine in the Darkness,” where Sharon den Adel’s soft lilt contrasts nicely with Harms’ deeper resonance. Probably my favorite is a collaboration with cellist Tina Guo on “Ghosts,” though the catchiest chorus belongs to “Lords of Fyre,” performed with fellow Napalm-signed Germans, the power metal band <strong>Feuerschwanz</strong>. <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/lord-of-the-lost-opvs-noir-vol-1/#fn-220222-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Lord of the Lost</strong> make very few missteps on <em>Opvs Noir Vol. 1</em>. The 11-song record clocks in at a tidy 44 minutes, though it’s almost eerie how many songs come in at the 3:40 mark. While they largely play to a traditional pop structure, <strong>Lord of the Lost</strong> also succeed on the more progressively-structured “The Things We Do For Love,” which weaves from soft piano to heavy <strong>Eisbrecher</strong>-inspired riffs to hip hop to a chorus that absolutely nails it. Yet a few tracks keep this from being yet another 4.0 notch in my belt. “The Sadness in Everything” ruins a talented performance by Anna Maria Rose by having her sing a melody that sounds an awful lot like “This is Halloween” from <em>A Nightmare Before Christmas</em>. The finale also veers into self-parody when Harms sings “Twinkle twinkle brittle star” like a dramatic re-imagining of the classic children’s tune. These moments may be small, but they do undermine the album’s conclusion.</p><p><em>Opvs Noir Vol. 1</em> is a very good start to this planned trilogy. Don’t let the pop tag scare you away. <strong>Lord of the Lost</strong> has some quality songwriting–the performances and collaborations should be enough to interest anyone who is a fan of industrial metal, symphonic metal, or even power metal. This is yet another Napalm act, like <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/warkings-armageddon-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Warkings</strong></a>, where the songwriting improves on older material–at least that which I’ve sampled from both bands. Yes, that material is well-polished, poppy, and catchy, but it’s a ton of fun and a welcome break from the bleakness of death and doom metal.</p><p></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: 3.5/5.0<br><strong>DR</strong>: N/A | <strong>Format Reviewed</strong>: Stream<br><strong>Label</strong>: <a href="https://label.napalmrecords.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Napalm Records</a><br><strong>Websites</strong>: <a href="https://lordofthelost.bandcamp.com/album/opvs-noir-vol-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lordofthelost/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://lordofthelost.de/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Official Site</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: August 8th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/35/" target="_blank">#35</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/aug25/" target="_blank">#Aug25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/billy-idol/" target="_blank">#BillyIdol</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/deathstars/" target="_blank">#Deathstars</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/eisbrecher/" target="_blank">#Eisbrecher</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/feuerschwanz/" target="_blank">#Feuerschwanz</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/fleshgod-apocalypse/" target="_blank">#FleshgodApocalypse</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/german-metal/" target="_blank">#GermanMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/glam-metal/" target="_blank">#GlamMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/gothic-metal/" target="_blank">#GothicMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/industrial-metal/" target="_blank">#IndustrialMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/iron-maiden/" target="_blank">#IronMaiden</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/kmfdm/" target="_blank">#KMFDM</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/lord-of-the-lost/" target="_blank">#LordOfTheLost</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/napalm-records/" target="_blank">#NapalmRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/opvs-noir-vol-1/" target="_blank">#OpvsNoirVol1</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/pop/" target="_blank">#Pop</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/pop-metal/" target="_blank">#PopMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/rammstein/" target="_blank">#Rammstein</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/stimmgewalt/" target="_blank">#Stimmgewalt</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/symphonic-metal/" target="_blank">#SymphonicMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/warkings/" target="_blank">#Warkings</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/within-temptation/" target="_blank">#WithinTemptation</a></p>
