Beholder – The Order of Chaos (Razorline Records)

This new album is one that has been heralded for a couple of years now, with the band’s massive and massively charismatic front man Simon Hall announcing its imminent release for many months and many shows, the last tour being… Continue Reading →

Deceased – Supernatural Addiction (Hells Headbangers)

I have to admit that Deceased had already been around for 12 years before I heard them properly on the release of their third 1997 album Fearless Undead Machines,’ the tape copy of which is now well played. I probably… Continue Reading →

Paradox – Tales of The Weird (AFM Records)

25 years ago Paradox released their debut called “Product Of Imagination” and at the time they gained a big foothold onto the thrash scene that was set in concrete once they unleashed “Heresy” in 1989 and still is arguably their… Continue Reading →

Carbid! – Breaking Walls (SR)

There are some bands that manage to effortlessly evoke the good old days and, if those good old days were had in the back room of a random pub in Northern Germany listening to heavy metal cover bands, then Carbid!… Continue Reading →

Iron Knights – New Sound Of War (Metalbox)

Never say die; well it’s a pretty appropriate motto for my favorite bunch of undead Luftwaffe pilots and after the fog of war clears, Stuka Squadron re-emerge from their coffins under the fine new name Iron Knights and the eternal… Continue Reading →

Bloodbound – In the Name of Metal (AFM Records)

Bloodbound have a few great albums in their arsenal, but when you call your new album ‘In the Name of Metal’, you better hope it lives up to the name with such a bold statement. Thankfully, I am happy to… Continue Reading →

While I may have never heard of this, dare I say it, mob before; I must admit that I’m glad to have become acquainted with them now. The German sextet has been around for nearly 2 decades now and have… Continue Reading →

Doro – Raise Your Fist (Nuclear Blast)

Doro is cool. How cool is Doro? Doro is so cool she can get Lemmy to guest on a song. Singing. A duet. A power ballad duet. That’s how cool Doro is. Q.E.D. OK, now if you don’t know who… Continue Reading →

Bullet – Full Pull (Nuclear Blast)

Bullet. Is it really album number four? Their no frills heavy metal charm, all leather beer and armpit swear, has been entertaining the hell out of me since Heading To The Top so I was really pleased to get this… Continue Reading →

Power Theory – An Axe to Grind (Pure Steel Records)

US Heavy/Power Metal group Power Theory re-released their debut album only last year, in such a short space of time, they are back with ‘An Axe to Grind’. The music is very traditional metal, as the genre definition would suggest,… Continue Reading →

Firewind – Few Against Many (Century Media)

For a change I didn’t get into this band from their early days as my first introduction to Firewind was with “The Premonition” album in 2008. You may say I am slipping up, you may say I did well to… Continue Reading →

Huntress – Spell Eater (Napalm Records)

Flying the flag for traditional heavy metal and powerful, real metal female vocals, Huntress come from California. As I make my opening statement declaring real female metal vocals, it’s an interesting fact that singer Jill Janus (aka Penelope Tuesdae) trained… Continue Reading →
