Release Round Up - December 5th, 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!
Portuguese thrash outfit Booby Trap release 'L(i)mbo' via Firecum Records.
"a monstrous bass and drum sound, that lays the platform for the guitars to wreak havoc and the vocals to hit you like a sledgehammer."
