This is album number five for this US heavy/power metal band. Throughout their career they have provided, what I term happy heavy metal. The foundations of which are built from the forefathers of our lovely heavy metal genre, but lazily… Continue Reading →
I seem to have hit a peak of bleak with my review picks of late and knew that with Swiss “Extinction Advocates” ColdCell in front of me that little in the way of light would be shining through. No point… Continue Reading →
Hailing from Togo, Arka’n Asrafokor have laid their claims for being the West African country’s only metal band. With their 2019 debut “Zã Keli” (Meaning ‘Night and Day’ in Ewe, one of the majority languages of their native Togo) laying the groundwork… Continue Reading →
This Norwegian band is likely to get a lot of attention because of the band members within it. With such luminaries as Frost (Satyricon) and Anders Odden (Cadaver) the pedigree of the band is in no doubt. Ulvehunger blends the… Continue Reading →

The first notes and riff of opener on this ‘With Starlight We Ride’ and I thought we were veering into Solstice territory, until it became all more symphonic and grandiose with choral sounds. Then the lead vocals come in and…… Continue Reading →
Five albums in five years? Whaaaat? This is the fifth one I have reviewed so I knew exactly what I was getting from these Aussies and that is ferocious blasting Death Metal with catchy riffs and a wry wit with… Continue Reading →
Despite the title this is actually album number four from Uprising, the rabble rousing project from Winterherz of Waldgeflüster. Personally enjoying album number II but missing the intermediate bridge between this and that, the re-amped and remixed ‘Uprising I.I’ I… Continue Reading →
