Release Round Up - July 4th, 2025
Every Friday there is a tidal wave of new music released unto the world. Whilst we try to cover as much as possible here at The Razor's Edge, it's not always possible to review everything. So each week on a Friday we'll round up some of the best new music available, some we've reviewed, some we haven't, but all worth checking out!
Theres a lot of new heavy music hitting the airwaves this week, everything from black metal, death metal, gothic metal, Stoner rock, doom, thrash metal and even some of your traditional heavy metal!
Here's what we think you should check out today!

Melodic and atmospheric black metal project Eminentia Tenebris release 'Whispers of the Undying' via Antiq.
"Short and punchy, Whispers of the Undying’s brevity manages to mitigate the lack of variety through a balance of the bombastic and the raw."
