Ah, the return of the Australian / alien weirdo-classic rock act! I’ve been reviewing these guys for quite a while now, and I have to say that they’ve slowly but surely won me over. I have a fondness for classic… Continue Reading →
It’s been 7 long years since this German bands last output. It is hard to compare them to any other band than Mercyful Fate (more so the King Diamond solo material), primarily from the vocal falsetto style and some of… Continue Reading →
Don’t you just hate in when things get lost in space? Well it was cyberspace that gobbled up a load of promo emails from Belgian based label Immortal Frost Productions but liking their output I agreed to play catch up… Continue Reading →
Wardruna are a project that exist in my peripheral vision. On a quick search through my Plex account on my phone I have just one album Runaljod- Yggdrasil and I have a vague recollection of enjoying it but evidently not… Continue Reading →
One of my favourite things about reviewing metal albums – and there are many – are those moments when you’ve spent so long poring over a single album that you’re temporarily sick to the back teeth of it and anything… Continue Reading →

High artistry seems to be the offering here from this cult Italian collective. We are told that this album is lyrically based on works from “poets and artists from different ages.” Antichristian prose is high on the agenda here and… Continue Reading →
Furor Gallico have been steadily finding their own identity and refining their sound over their four album career so far. This very accomplished and impressive Italian Folk Metal band have their own approach to this style, granting them their own… Continue Reading →
This ninth album sort of marks a twenty year anniversary since Leaves’ Eyes’ first album, ‘Lovelorn’, was released in 2004 and since that time they have spearheaded the symphonic metal genre and spawned the creation of hundreds of other bands… Continue Reading →
Last time I covered Sonata Arctica, one of the long established titans of European Power Metal, they didn’t impress me at all. Their work was, putting it bluntly… Shite. It lacked that energy and spark which the band used to… Continue Reading →
