Album Review
review
Prisoner - Kill The King
June 30, 2025
The musical genre of this PRISONER album I am listening to is Heavy Metal. Some will call it NWOTHM, but I feel that I need to add NWOBHM in order to complete the description.
review
Turian - Blood Quantum Blues
June 30, 2025
What the hell am I listening to right now? Yes, I know it is a band called TURIAN, a Seattle band that makes Metal Hardcore mixed with Noise Rock. I also know that “Blood Quantum Blues” is their fourth release, and according to their Bandcamp site the first one where they really feel free.
review
Circus Of Rock – Hellfire
June 26, 2025
If you are interested in listening to “Hellfire”, please give it time to reach your brain and after a while, your heart. If you are a Melodic Rock lover, you can’t and won’t go wrong with this album, as it houses everything that you are wishing for in a Melodic Rock album.
review
Phantomy - From the Wild
June 25, 2025
If you are looking for a good time and feel good record you can do a lot worse than trying out PHANTOMY, as “From the Wild” will have you dancing, twisting and turning in no time. So, you will have a smile on your face before you know it.
review
Front Row Warriors - Running Out Of Time
June 25, 2025
The slower songs on “Running Out Of Time” are all okay, but the faster ones are the real stars for me. That is also where singer Elkie Gee gets to show off her wares, where she is able to combine her singing with what almost sounds like shouting, but which is done in such a way that it demonstrates how powerful her voice really is.
review
Diabolisches Werk - Against All Gods
June 18, 2025
If you are looking for something innovative, please skip “Against All Gods”, as this will definitely not provide that for you. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a very decent and proper Death/Thrash Metal album, than DIABOLISCHES WERK has been able to give you just that on this, their latest venture.
review
Hangfire – Burn
June 18, 2025
I can only conclude that as a debut album “Burn” is something that HANGFIRE can build on for the future. I reckon that when they get even better in their collaboration and write even stronger songs that they will be a very difficult force to ignore.
review
Signs Of Algorithm – Sunchaser
June 18, 2025
Once the music starts you can be sure that you are listening to a pure and unadulterated Metalcore album. SIGNS OF ALGORITHM goes for broke, and mixes aggression and Heavy Music in a very constructive and positive way.
review
Waxen - High Plains Bloodlust
June 18, 2025
I have to conclude that as far as I’m concerned, I really can’t fault WAXEN at all musically, and I think that “High Plains Bloodlust” will appeal to a lot of other musicians alike. It will also be something for those who like their Black Metal not to be too extreme, as you will get the Heavy Metal and Melodic vibes radiating from some of the guitar parts.
review
Xenos A.D. - Reqviem For The Oppressor
June 18, 2025
If you look up XENOS A.D. on the Metal Archives it says that they are a Thrash Metal band. That is partly true, but then you will have to say that METALLICA also is a pure Thrash metal band. When that band first came to the scene the were dubbed a Speed Metal band, and I feel that is also what XENOS A.D. really is.
review
Onslaught - Origins of Aggression
June 6, 2025
Altogether ONSLAUGHT is giving us a nice insight to what made them tick in the beginning, making “Origins of Aggression” an almost mandatory release for anyone who either hasn’t followed these guys from the start, or any Thrash Metal enthusiast that is wondering which Punk bands were important to these British Metallers.
review
Claymorean - Eternal Curse
June 6, 2025
In just over 48 minutes you are treated to 48 minutes of CLAYMOREAN style Metal, and as far as I’m concerned, the main ingredient is still Power Metal, although it is larded with a lot of Heavy Metal parts and riffs.
review
Black Majesty - Oceans Of Black
June 6, 2025
I have enjoyed listening to BLACK MAJESTY. If you are one of those who loves your Epic and Melodic parts to be part of it, I feel that I just might have handed you another jewel in your crown. And hey, maybe you are one of those who already knew and appreciated BLACK MAJESTY. If you are, you will definitely enjoy “Oceans Of Black”.
review
Rickert G. - Endless Thoughts
June 3, 2025
The songs on “Endless Thoughts” have body, soul and feelings galore, and the way that RICKERT G. has put his compositions together makes a whole lot of sense. It makes for almost 42 minutes of very divers and exciting Metal.
review
GaiaBeta - Gate Of GaiaBeta
June 3, 2025
Let me start by saying that what you will hear has been done before by many other bands, and GAIABETA has just decided to give the music their own twist. What does help with the musical genre they are playing is having a good and crystal clear sound. In that respect I simply cannot fault anything on “Gate Of GaiaBeta”.
review
A-Z - A2Z²
May 28, 2025
The debut album “A-Z” is filled with rather good Melodic Rock, whereas this current album “A2Z²” has the advantage of the addition of many a Progressive Rock/Metal infusion.
review
Bark - The Time Has Come
May 28, 2025
The way the music is played and the accompanying way it exits my speakers is very much acceptable and enjoyable. I like what I hear.
review
Sacred Oath - Demo Anthology (1985-1986)
May 28, 2025
I like SACRED OATH, as they have musical similarities to bands like MERCYFUL FATE, but also some Progressive bands like very early FATES WARNING. There are a lot more influences you will hear, but they will expose themselves to you when you take a listen.
review
Warlord - The Lost Archangel
May 28, 2025
WARLORD is a band that has given a lot of musical pleasure to a lot of Old School Epic Heavy Metal throughout the years. Formed in 1980 in Los Angeles they became responsible for some absolute classics throughout the years. Especially “And The Canons Of Destruction Have Begun…...” (1984) is one of those albums that every heavy metal enthusiast should have in his collection.
review
Destinity – Ascension
May 25, 2025
I’m not going to tell you that “Ascension” is covering any new territories, or that our French friends of DESTINITY are about the set the Metal world on fire with their way of making music, but I will be shouting out that anyone who loves good Old School and/or Melodic Death Metal needs to give this album a serious try by having a good listen. Like me you might be very pleasantly surprised by what you encounter.
review
Ghostseeker – Divergence
May 25, 2025
“Divergence” is not a band album at all, because if you are a real Metalcore afficionado, or even a Female Fronted Gothic Metal enthusiast, you will hear a lot of parts that sound quite good.
review
Sacred Steel - Ritual Supremacy
May 25, 2025
What becomes very clear when listening to SACRED STEEL is that they know exactly when they can extend and when they need to cut it short. That does make that there is not one track that feels like it isn’t as the band was wanting it to be.
review
Hexenhaus - Awakening (Reissue)
May 14, 2025
“Awakening” is the only one of the three rereleases that is benefitting from an extra song, knowingly the demo version of the title track “Awakening”. Was that necessary? Not really. Is it a nice touch? Yes, definitely.
review
Hexenhaus - The Edge Of Eternity (Reissue)
May 14, 2025
“The Edge Of Eternity” actually was the second album for the band. Originally released on 1 November 1990, while this one hit the streets on 16 may 2025. It houses a lot more Thrash influences than the debut album, making it just that tad less impressive for me. But the music that HEXENHAUS plays still is Progressive Metal with Thrash and (this time less) Heavy Metal parts to complete the sound.
review
Hexenhaus - A Tribute To Insanity (Reissue)
May 14, 2025
A Tribute To Insanity” actually was the debut album for the band. Originally released on 17 October 1988, while this one hit the streets on 16 may 2025. It immediately starts with the kind of music that defines HEXENHAUS; Progressive Heavy/Thrash Metal. If you need a reference, think a less extreme version of MEKONG DELTA mixed with snippets of OVERKILL and early METAL CHURCH.
review
Midnight - Steel, Rust and Disgust
May 14, 2025
. I like the punky attitude of many of the songs on “Steel, Rust and Disgust”, which for me has given me an extra insight into who or what has helped to form what MIDNIGHT has become over the years.
review
Chris Caffery - 20 Years Of The Music Man
May 14, 2025
We all know who CHRIS CAFFERY is, or at least where he got his notoriety. If you don’t, you’re not very knowledgeable about SAVATAGE or TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA. He has recorded some 2 EP’s and 6 albums under his own name and it is that era that he is celebrating by releasing a double compilation album “20 Years Of The Music Man”.
review
Buzzard - Mean Bone
May 6, 2025
I’ll say that traditional Doom fans should be wary of BUZZARD and “Mean Bone”, whilst Folk lovers with a wide angle lens and other more adventurous music lovers will be able to understand and therefore enjoy what is passing through your ears into that massive underused grey matter we call our brain.
review
Inherited – No Regrets
May 6, 2025
Of course, these guys aren’t changing the Metal world or even trying to be the band that sets new standards, but they are unmistakably trying to impress the hell out of anyone who will take the time to listen what they have top offer on “No Regrets”. And in that respect, they are succeeding in more songs than I would have thought possible when I started to listen to INHERITED.
review
Roxxcalibur - NWOBHM From The Vaults
May 6, 2025
Whatever you might think of compilation albums that are tributes to the past, it is a fact that this is a sure fired way to pique the interest of the people interested, who will take the time and have a good listen. And through this medium, ROXXCALIBUR’s album “NWOBHM From The Vaults”, they will go and look if they can locate the originals, be it physical or digital.
review
Coffin Feeder - Big Trouble
April 26, 2025
COFFIN FEEDER is indeed “Big Trouble”, as they are making me like another musical genre that I have been able to leave at the sidelines until now. But I do know that if I wish to admire a Deathcore band from now on, they have to come close or exceed the quality of COFFIN FEEDER. And that, my friends, is something a lot of the bands trying will not be able to do, because I feel that the 35 minutes of “Big Trouble” is at the top of the Deathcore game.
review
Executionist - Sacrament of the Sick
April 26, 2025
EXECUTIONIST has made sure that every song has a tempo you can headbang to without endangering yourself in a way that will result in your head distancing itself from your torso. This doesn’t mean they play slow, but it does mean that it never goes too fast.
review
Krematorium - Sinister Seduction
April 26, 2025
“Sinister Seduction” is not the heaviest Thrash Metal album you will ever encounter, but also not of one the lightest. Also, it might not be the most original album musically, the songs will still be able to enchant you in their own way. And that is what makes “Sinister Seduction” a pleasant album. Thank you KREMATORIUM.
review
Obsidian Fall - Elegy From a Dying World
April 26, 2025
It has to be said, for an album that OBSIDIAN FALL wrote, recorded, produced and released on their own accord, this isn’t bad at all. There is enough depth in the songs to keep it interesting.
review
Absolva - Justice
April 22, 2025
The quality of the songs on “Justice” are unmistakable, and the band brings them to us in a very good fashion.
review
Black Rabbit – Chronolysis
April 22, 2025
BLACK RABBIT is not as clean or organised as the Bay Area or Teutonic Thrash bands, but also not as disorganised as bands like early VENOM or MIDNIGHT. They hover somewhere in between, and by mixing Death and Thrash Metal in the way they do, it makes it all sound bloody impressive.
