Albums Reviews

Stratovarius is one of those bands that raises the power metal flag really high up, along with talent and something divine and epic behind their music. So the question, is “Eternal”  up to that standard? Yes, now that the newcomers in the band are already fit to what this band stands for, the songs flow [...]

 A new Slayer record always shakes the foundations of every metalhead, but this one it’s the first one without one of greatest thrash metal guitars players of all time, the gone but not forgotten brother Jeff Hanneman, and Dave Lombardo on the drums. To fulfill their iconic places came in Gary Holt on guitar and [...]

 Seems like bands with that Joy Division basis and 80’s old town club flavor are getting the attention of record labels again. What can we find specifically in Publicist UK and on their first album “Forgive Yourself”? The same old form with a better guitar production, a bit more dark and deeper voice, and the [...]

This band is one of those machines that never goes away, and survives trough the struggle of times, when most of bands fell in a trance of lack of creativity, and just release album after album to keep the band going. Archangel is the new album of Max Cavalera and company, but you can’t find [...]

 Back with a new name due to new band formation, Grave Pleasures (ex-Beastmilk) presents “Dreamcrash”, technically the second album after the great start that was “Climax”. The first difference is that the album is not so heavy has the previous one, but it doesn’t make a difference because the songs are really good. Within the [...]

 As we all know, the record market is full of bands that do atmospheric black metal with folk elements, so what makes Nechochwen and their new “Heart of Akamon” different from all the rest? Maybe the fact that the link in between the songs makes it flow in a very organic way, almost like if [...]

“Loathe” is the third recording of Dusseldorf based sludge trio Nightslug and has been released by Lost Pilgrims Records. The album provides a bit more than 30 minutes of heavily distorted music. It all starts with guitar feedback sounds and a slowly punching bass. Combined with a monotone speech in the typical style of a [...]

 What can we find in “Under The Red Cloud”, the new album of the iconic finnish band Amorphis? Basicly 4 reasons to listen to one of best metal albums of the year for sure, and you’ll get that feeling at the first hearing like the ravenous guitar sound on the stronger songs “The Four Wise [...]

[one_third last=”no”][/one_third] “The Ride Majestic” is the new Soilwork proposal, but can we take it? Let’s see… The album starts in a very thriving way with songs like “The Ride Majestic”, “Alright in The Aftermath”, “Death In General”, “Enemies in Fidelity”, and “Petrichor By Sulphur”, that will make every fan of the band instantly wish to see [...]

Up the irons! Iron Maiden brought us not one, but 2 albums in a book they call “The Book of Souls”. The progressive side of the band is more than noticed on this one, and quality of the musicians pops out very naturally in an opus that really gives us a lesson of what heavy [...]

 This one will raise some eyeballs! Till Lindemann teamed up with Peter Tägtgren and recorded a funny album, much around sexual debauchery and recycled ideas. I guess the whole thing behind this is to have some fun at our expense, and it’s one of those records that you keep to a party with your friends, [...]

 What more we can say about a band that is responsible for putting the Swedish death metal sound in the ears of fans out there? Pretty much that after 25 years they’re still doing it, at their own way, bringing with them the dirtiest heaviest riffs, viking legends of war as you will hear in [...]

 It is more than known that stoner rock is on charts everywhere you look. It is also quite known that most of the record companies are doing their best to sign up the next big thing, but in a genre that is also known for having bands that go away as fast as they came, [...]

 New album, new band members, they’re back from the dead! I couldn’t remember when was the last time I enjoyed an album of Helloween that much as I enjoy this one, but seems that My God-Given Right has put the band back on track for good, and it’s Our God-Given Right also to salute the [...]
