Albums Reviews

Portugal is becoming a nest of good underground projects, and most of them, are a force not to be taken lightly on stage. The second album of Brutal Brain Damage shows us a great evolution of a young band, which has everything to be one of those powerful forces live. The listener can find is [...]

The German grindcore scene is really big, so it is tough to get a band with fresh ideas, a mind blowing sense of humor, and good structured songs. The last full length CD of Kadaverficker “Nekrokore is Love”, is exactly that during its twenty seven minutes of duration. When it comes to grindcore, we find [...]

  Jorn Lande, one of the most iconic hard rock singers of our time, after a prolific 2013 with 2 great albums “Symphonic”, and “Traveller”, returns in 2016 with a covers album called “Heavy Rock Radio”. Known not also for a solid solo career, but also for participating on Avantasia, Jorn opens up his box to [...]

After a hiatus from albums for almost 7 years, the Swedish black metal band Dark Funeral returns with “Where Shadows Forever Reign”. Lord Ahriman (who did guitars and bass for the record) and his bandmates (Chaq Mol on guitars, Dominator on drums, and Heljarmadr on vocals), pick up from where the band left of and [...]

Celebrating 30 years of one of the most iconic releases of doom metal “Epicus Doomicus Metallicus”, the masters of classic doom metal Candlemass return with an EP “Death Thy Lover”. 4 years after the last album “Psalms For the Dead”, something that the band said, at the time, it would be their last record. Some [...]

Nowadays it’s hard to find new refreshing projects that come up with new ideas, and songs as inspiring. As The Walk would put it, «Merci de pari en nous». And indeed they deserve it. With a hard rock aggressiveness, experimental, and a strong melodic voice. Still, they prefer the tongue of Shakespeare, in detriment of [...]

Mostly unknown from the black metal scene, the Finnish band Lathspell at the fifth record “Torn Cold Void”, presents a great exercise of consistent and raw black metal. Composed by four long tracks “I Am Death”, “Beneath the Flaming Earth”, “Blood Embrace This Soil”, and “Torn Cold Void”, making a 40 minutes album. We can [...]

Suicidal Angels, Thrashers from Greece, return with their sixth album “Division of Blood”. This album will delight the old school thrash metal bands, since we can hear that is very straight forward, with that raw but still incisive production that will instantly make us headbang. All guitars of Nick Melissourgos and Gus Drax, sound tremendously [...]

At the fourth album “Trolldom”, Fejd establish themselves as one of the most interesting folk bands of our time. Adding electric guitars for the first time to the Swedish folk sound that they’ve helped developing, we can listen a mature band that doesn’t sound any more like a project, but to a band that should [...]

Blizzen is a German traditional  heavy/speed metal group from Weilmünster and was formed in 2014.

After an acoustic intro the [...]

 One of the Big Teutonic 4 of German thrash metal, Destruction, mad butchers that need no introduction, returns with their 14th album “Under Attack”. Maintaining the old school sound with killer riffs adapted to a moderngroovy production, we can hear that the album sound catchy and rapid sometimes, due the pumping drum workthat was recorded [...]

Electric Citizen returns with a new album. Stoner rock bands are the latest trend on the block for the metal / rock scene, and we all know that when a new trend emerges, a lot of bands come up and some are not that impressive. Definitely, not the case of these Americans female front voiced stoners [...]

After two brilliant albums that crossed all the frontiers of metal, hardcore, punk, and rock, the Norwegian band Kvelertak returns with “Nattersferd”. Normally at the third record, the band starts to create their own entity, and the listeners recognize the sound of that band instantly when they hear it. Kvelertak didn’t had to wait for [...]

Bodie is an ambient folk solo project mainly composed by acoustic guitars, and ethereal ritualistic choruses. The newest EP “First” of this one man band created by Thomas Noel, is a blending of melodic and melancholic elements with cinematographic universes, that will guide the listener through shadows cast over a sunny afternoon. We can expect something really [...]
