Mourning Dawn – The Foam of Despair
April 9, 2024
Overall, this was an excellent album. Threads of pain, torture, failure, and abandonment came through strongest for me, and the music was wonderfully depressing but keen with torment.
review
Dipygus - Dipygus
April 9, 2024
Filler aside, the rest of the album is rock solid. For those who like their death metal a little weird and off the beaten path, one could do worse than the self-titled.
review
Heavy Temple – Garden of Heathens
April 8, 2024
It has been almost three years since we had some HEAVY TEMPLE at the Metal Temple. On April 12, 2024 all that changes when High Priestess Nighthawk releases “Garden of Heathens.”
review
Adon – Adon
April 4, 2024
It’s nearly impossible not to become immersed in this album, because the sound surrounds you, circles you like prey, and then closes its jaws. You don’t dare even close your eyes, because if you do, you won’t recognize the person you see in the mirror. Their prowess and musicianship is impeccable.

Jim Petrik & World Stage - Roots & Shoots Volume 1
April 3, 2024

review
All Are To Return – III
April 1, 2024
Take a look at the album cover to find out what lies within…death, nothingness, void, antimatter, extermination, extinction. This is one extreme way to view global warning and the hand-in-hand catastrophes. Are we too late? I don’t know if there is any discernable way to know for sure. But if we are, this album will play at our funerals.
review
Exist – Hijacking The Zeitgeist
March 29, 2024
No one can deny the band’s talent, that much I know for sure, but their technical prowess does overshadow some of the melody development. They take their music in all different directions, even to places you wouldn’t expect, and that is the mark of Progressive Metal. They are as tight as they come, but some might argue that they flirt with pretentiousness, as well as that proverbial zenith that isn’t usually reached.
review
Heavy Load - Riders Of The Ancient Storm
March 29, 2024
Heavy Load was formed by two brothers Ragne and Styrbjorn Wahlquist 50 years ago in […]
review
Magnum – Here Comes The Rain
March 25, 2024
“Here Comes The Rain” feels like the last letter Tony wrote to us. Listen to it in good health and with fond memories. Rock is dead, long live rock.
review
Xephyr - No Signal
March 21, 2024
This Alternative Hard Rock quartet is truly great! Hear to it and get addicted!
review
Drowned - Procul His
March 21, 2024
Why in the blazes such good Old School Death Metal act from Germany has few releases? We want more!
review
Grand - Second To None
March 20, 2024
Grand who come from Sweden, carry on the tradition of exceptional AOR bands from this […]
review
Wings of Steel – Wings of Steel
March 18, 2024
I’m gonna make this as simple and easy as possible to our wonderful head banging readers, if you haven’t heard of WINGS OF STEEL yet, do yourself a favor and immediately check them out, they have everything you could possibly want in a heavy metal band and I promise you will love them from the very first listen.
review

Social Disorder - The project feat. Anders La Rönnblom (XRomance), Tracii Guns (LA GUNS), Leif […]
review
Mega Colossus - Showdown
March 14, 2024
A very good Heavy Metal/Melodic Metal release of this North American act.
review
Wet Cactus – Magma Tres
March 11, 2024
WET CACTUS marches onward to the Desert Rock rhythm, sprinkling handfuls of peace and fuzz alternating with fistfuls of gravel and grit.
review
Atack - Nine Lives
March 7, 2024
Atack Is the new project and debut album from one of the UK’S in demand […]
review
Signs Preyer - III
March 4, 2024
When done right, Groove Metal can be as smooth as a fine whiskey; when bad, it’s a parody of itself. Italian Groove metalists, SIGNS PREYER, does it right.
review
Paraline - Sound Weapon
March 1, 2024
From Greek “πᾰρά” - near, about, by - beyond the line. From Latin - equal, […]
review
Dune Pilot – Magnetic
February 27, 2024
“Magnetic” is an excellent showing for DUNE PILOT’s first album on the Argonauta label. It manages to explore a lot of range while still forging straight forward.
review
Cemetery of Scream – Oceans
February 19, 2024
Electronics in Goth music? Catchy, exciting songs? Why not? I have always said that when you give a band 14 years between album releases, you are going to get one of two things: A band who stayed the same and let the years pass them, or a band who is busy pioneering their own path and is cognizant of the genre changes. Oddly, in this case, the band shows a remarkable ability to stay true to their roots while shifting just enough to keep fresh and intriguing.
review
Temple Balls - Avalanche
February 19, 2024
Yes, I know, the band’s name sounds like a sex toy, or maybe a male sexual disease….sorry I’ll get my mind out of the gutter and get back to the business at hand and delve into this hard rock album that promises to “set your friggin’ pants on fire.”
review
Apogean – Cyberstrictive
February 13, 2024
Wind up the rope as tightly as possible, and then step back and let it go…that is the sound that comes through strongest on the album. Yet, within the confines of their impossibly tight structures, melodies escape somehow. The music isn’t as cold and sterile as one might expect…it breathes. This is a very talented band with an expansive take the genre.
review
Blacklist Union – Letters From The Psych Ward
February 12, 2024
From the outside, “Letters from the Psych Ward” looks very plain, very middle of the road. Happy to admit that I was wrong.
review
Paralandra – Street Magic
February 12, 2024
Spoiler alert: This is a review I wanted to…no needed to write to get the word out about an amazing band that I saw “live” last year and instantly became a fan. They blew me away with their explosive musical performance and energized and animated stage presence.
review
Hatred Reigns-Awaken the Ancients
February 11, 2024
Canadian deathcore band HATRED REIGNS puts the pedal to the heaviest of metals in a quest to leave the rest of the bands in the dust.
review
Notörious – Marching On
February 5, 2024
“True Norwegian Glam Metal” is how NOTÖRIOUS self describes their musical style. Truth be told, Norway is known more for Death metal than Glam Metal, and more for Soaring White Mountains than Glam Metal, and more for hosting the Nobel Peace Price than Glam Metal, so forgive me if I’m a little skeptical, but I will give them every chance to make me a believer.
review
Trapeze - Lost Tapes Vol. 1
February 1, 2024
If you still don't know what TRAPEZE was about, this album offers you a fine opportunity to do so. HEAR IT N-O-W!
review
Rainmaker - Rainmaker (Reissue)
February 1, 2024
This reissue of the Swedish quartet first (and only) album shows as good music is never eroded by time.
review
Kings Crown - Closer to the Truth
January 24, 2024
A mix between influences of 70s and 80s Hard Rock can be found here!
review
Fierce Justice - Fireborn
January 17, 2024
An experienced Heavy Metal act is releasing their first release, and it's bombastic!
review
The Rods - Rattle The Cage
January 15, 2024
If you ever need a blueprint of how simple Heavy Metal can be ultimately effective, you need to look no further that THE RODS.
review
Sortilège - Larmes de héros (Reissue)
January 15, 2024
Borrowing the line from the sci-fi movie Poltergeist II “They’re back”, and that’s exactly what is happening here as I review the third reissue “Larmes de heros” from the French heavy metal Sortilege that was originally released in 1986. I haven’t had too much positive to say on the first two reissue reviews, so hopefully the third time is the charm, otherwise, borrowing the line from Terminator II, it’s “Hasta la vista baby”.
review
Ihsahn – Ihsahn
January 13, 2024
For me, the album was like a project in extremes, contrast, and the uncommon chord progressions that define his career. The music touches each extreme, from tender, sweet passages to ones that bite with the fangs of a viper, and you never know what is coming next. His compositions are masterful, as always, and this far into his career he shouldn’t have a bag so deep and vast, yet he does.
review
Svartanatt - Last Days On Earth
January 11, 2024
A good blend between Hard Rock, Psychedelic Rock and Progressive Rock with a gloomy touch.
review
Degrave-Volume
January 5, 2024
Missouri band Degrave wrap their Southern hooks around an angry slab of good ol' fashioned thrash metal.
