Vulture – Sentinels (Metal Blade)

In recent years there has been a big glut of worship bands, mostly I would say in the realms of Death Metal and Heavy Metal. A number of years prior there was also that big Thrash boom with bands like… Continue Reading →

Blood Star – First Sighting (Shadow Kingdom)

There is plainly something in the (salt) water up there in Salt Lake City. After the mighty Visigoth here comes Blood Star with their debut. Founded in 2017 by erstwhile Visigoth guitarist Jamison Palmer, along with bass and drums Noah… Continue Reading →

Mace ‘N’ Chain – Among Ancient Pillars (No Remorse)

This is a project I have been following via an online music platform, thankfully those “you might also like” tags work well; David Nilsson, who is the vocalist of Swedish death metal band Feral, forms it. He handled all music,… Continue Reading →

Blazon Rite – Endless Halls of Golden Totem (Gates of Hell)

Philadelphia’s Blazon Rite released ‘Dulce Beillum Inexpertis” last year and received much underground acclaim. Afflicted with the current pandemic and the restrictions it brought, studio time and rehearsals were hard to find. However, the band went with the DIY approach… Continue Reading →

Eternal Champion – Ravening Iron (No Remorse)

Aside from the cover art – yes, they did go there – the second thing that strikes me about Eternal Champion’s second platter is the confident stride we kick off with from get go. Not so much the lone warrior… Continue Reading →

Skyryder – Vol 2 (High Roller)

The UK has a great amount of talent in the traditional metal field; we may all have heralded the achievements of the likes of Toledo Steel, Seven Sisters, Amulet, Dark Forest and many others. Skyryder are local (to me!) lads… Continue Reading →
