Album Review
review
Phantom - Tyrants Of Wrath
April 22, 2025
According to the information that came with the music PHANTOM are a Speed/Thrash Metal band from Guadalajara, Mexico, formed in 2021 as a project just for fun.
review
Venator – Psychodrome
April 22, 2025
The songs themselves are varying from okay up and until rather good. You don’t expect to hear anything new or life changing, and you won’t, but you also won’t be disappointed by the quality level of the songs that VENATOR are ladling upon our Metal plate.
review
Deamonolith - The Monolithic Cult of Death
April 22, 2025
From the Depths of Poland comes an experimental group of Deathgrind that synergized elements of progressive and melodic death through complex time signatures to create a truly chaotic and brutal album.
review
André Drage Group – Wolves
April 16, 2025
ANDRÉ DRAGE GROUP will give you beautifully sculpted Progressive songs with a slight but definite Jazz undertone. The sound is sedate, the production is as clear and transparent as possible, and the musicianship of this quartet is unmistakable.
review
Sons of Ra - Standard Deviation
April 16, 2025
Let me issue a word of warning; if you are not one to think outside the box, to always want a straight line in music as well as life, SONS OF RA is not the band for you. But if you are like me, and you liked the Jazzy Death Metal albums of bands like PESTILENCE and CYNIC, you could always give “Standard Deviation” a listen.
review
Caboose - Left For Dust
April 8, 2025
What I do have to mention is that if you would like a comparison to any of the earlier bands playing Stoner Rock/Metal you will undoubtedly come across the names of TROUBLE and MONSTER MAGNET, and although the young guns of CABOOSE aren’t anywhere near the quality of those bands (yet?), they have that really rough and ready sound that also fits the peers mentioned.
review
Pagan Altar - Never Quite Dead
April 8, 2025
The songs on “Never Quite Dead” vary from decent to good, the sound is very recognisable and the musicianship is quite clear and obvious.
review
Stud - Under Silver Sky
April 8, 2025
Good and solid Hard Rocking Heavy Metal songs with a lot of Melodic and sometimes even AOR vibes mixed in. It makes “Under Silver Sky” into a very nice record that will not break any records, or even give STUD major player status, but it will provide the listeners with a pleasant amount of entertainment. And let’s be frank, that is exactly what music is supposed to be all about.
review
Nephylim - Circuition
April 8, 2025
During the fast moving 38 minutes that “Circuition” is emitting its impressive sounds I am very much in a dream state. It didn’t look like I would be when I started listening, but with every time the record has been coming through my speakers, I have had to admit that it is even better than the last time I listened.
review
Insult - Reside Infernus
March 18, 2025
As for the enthusiasm of INSULT. That is one thing no one can challenge. These guys are rocking as if their lives depend on it. and by the sound of it, that is also the way they have decided how to write, play and record their songs.
review
Purified in Blood - Primal Pulse Thunder
March 18, 2025
With the band being active since 2003 means that PURIFIED IN BLOOD has over 21 years of experience in making their brand of Melodic Death Metal mixed with Metalcore parts where needed. It makes for quite the explosive combination that does work.
review
Xenotrone - Into the Void
March 12, 2025
23 minutes of “Into The Void” are beautiful, colourful, divers and bloody good. XENOTRONE is a trio of very good musicians that have the ability to write bloody good songs.
review
The 7th Guild – Triumviro
March 12, 2025
Let me start by saying that the Metal evolution has passed the people in THE 7TH GUILD by without them noticing, because if you had told me that this was an old album being rereleased, I would have taken you at your word.
review
Kilmara - Journey to the Sun
March 12, 2025
The sound on “Journey to the Sun” is impeccable. Producer Seeb Levermann (a.o. Orden Ogan, Angus MCSIX, Rhapsody Of Fire, Riot V) has done a brilliant job in catching the right vibes to make listening to this KILMARA album quite easy.
review
Injector - Endless Scorn
March 12, 2025
INJECTOR varies the heaviness and speeds from ultra speed to mid-tempo, and they do all of that just at the right times, making you on your toes. Your attention span doesn’t get the chance to tone itself down. Let alone diminish. Once you think it gets predictable, they throw another positive spanner in the works.
review
Killswitch Engage - This Consequence
February 25, 2025
Being one of the first bands to venture into this genre, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE has been able to invent themselves as they wanted, resulting in them making their own brand of Metalcore since 1999. These guys from Westfield in Massachusetts, USA are easily identifiable when they start playing their music. The mix of Metalcore with Thrash Metal is very distinguishable.
review
Savage Master - Dark & Dangerous
February 18, 2025
Because I have to say that as far as “Dark & Dangerous” is concerned, I now have heard better, stronger and more coherent songs from SAVAGE MASTER than ever before. The songs are not only positive in their aura, they are also executed and recorded to a perfect standard, with an outstanding sound to boot.
review
Saber - Without Warning
February 18, 2025
The SABER brand of super simple Old Fashioned Heavy Metal is played at the utmost enthusiastic level I have ever encountered. You can feel it radiating off the album.
review
Saber - Lost In Flames
February 18, 2025
Musically this is very enthusiastically written, played, recorded and released pure Heavy Metal music by a band that likes to keep things simple. They have the ability to make you take notice of everything they do, however straight forward it might be.
review
Morax - The Amulet
February 18, 2025
I have racked my brain about which bands you can compare him to, and there are enough, but I will have to mention that comes to mind all through the album, which is DIAMOND HEAD. You will regularly feel that that is who you are listening to, and as far as I’m concerned that is a huge endorsement. But please don’t compare the two, as MORAX has a very different feel, a lot darker.
review
Hirax - Faster Than Death
February 18, 2025
Here we go again, another album by HIRAX. Well, I do say that “Faster Than Death” is a full length, but that is because it houses nine songs. The fact that the total playing time is 21:54 minutes makes me wonder whether I am getting this right. As the band hasn’t sent any information with the music and cover, I look it up in The Metal Archives, where I see it classed as a full album. Okay then.
review
Garden of Stone - The Grave Mistake
February 11, 2025
GARDEN OF STONE is a rather new Finnish band from Tampere, as they have only been in existence since 2023. That they are very inspired to write music becomes clear on 15 February 2024, when the EP “Tides Of Decay” is let loose on us as listeners. I must say that I haven’t had the pleasure of listening to it. And then, just under a year later, on 10 January 2025, these Finns are giving us their debut album “The Grave Mistake”.
review
Scumripper - For A Few Fixes More
February 11, 2025
It has been ten years since the Finnish band SCUMRIPPER, hailing from Lapeenranta, Etelä – Karjala / Mikkeli, Etelä – Savo, has come together to make a whole lot of noise. The music they make is a mix of Black, Death and Thrash Metal. In just under half an hour the band lets us enjoy how they feel their Metal should sound.
review
The Ferrymen - Iron Will
February 11, 2025
So, now about “Iron Will”, the fourth album of this international power trio. For more than 54 minutes these THE FERRYMEN how good they are musically.
review
The Wave And The Particle - Electric Sheep
February 11, 2025
If there is a band that could qualify as Alternative Rock, then THE WAVE AND THE PARTICLE should be put on top of the list. The combination you get here is all Rock. You will hear Gothic and Symphonic mixed with Industrial and Electro. Well, the guitars sometimes do have a Metal sound and feel, but overall “Electric Sheep” doesn’t go past the Rock mark.
review
We Are The Catalyst – Friction
February 11, 2025
The Swedish band WE ARE THE CATALYST was formed in 2012 and on 29 November 2024 they presented us with their fifth studio album to date. And it shows that they have been together for so many years, as the cohesion between the musicians as well as the songs is quite clear.
review
Avulsed - Phoenix Cryptobiosis
February 4, 2025
Well, would you know it, AVULSED have been able to acquire a clean sound for the first time that I know of, at least in Death Metal terms. Not only that, but the surprise that I get when they start playing “Limbs Regeneration (Instrumental)” and “Lacerate To Dominate” has me wondering if old age has forced the band to slow down considerably.
review
Blackslash - Heroes, Saints & Fools
February 4, 2025
What gets to me straight away is that the sound of “Heroes, Saints & Fools” is crisp, clear and transparent, so without fault. That does make listening to Melodic Heavy Metal a lot more interesting, but also a lot easier, as everything you like is very much on display, as are the elements that don’t excite you as much.
review
Ereb Altor – Hälsingemörker
February 4, 2025
Musically EREB ALTOR can rival any other Viking Metal band. Of course there are also some minor things don’t make the grade, but overall EREB ALTOR is giving me very good music to listen to.
review
Sküll - Epistle I - Pickin' Up The Pieces
February 4, 2025
SKÜLL has filled “Epistle I - Pickin' Up The Pieces” to the brim with Melodic Rock or (if you wish) AOR with light Metallic influences. It is an album of just over 35 minutes with all the cliches that make Melodic Rock tick passing by from time to time.
review
Warfarer - A Tale Beyond The Pale
January 29, 2025
When I start listening to WARFARER it is no surprise that they are from Finland. Tampere to be precise. The reason it is not a surprise is because the first band that comes to mind when “A Tale Beyond The Pale” starts blowing through my headphones is early CHILDREN OF BODOM. This has the same kind of feel.
review
Schädlich & Söhne – Zweckpessimismus
January 29, 2025
What I always have found, and which is definitely accentuated and confirmed on “Zweckpessimismus” is that the German language surely is the best one to select when you wish to get across your messages across in a very dark and menacing way.
review
Reviver - Carnival of Chaos
January 29, 2025
In over 48 minutes these guys take you on a journey through a pure Metal landscape. These are good musicians, who write good songs, play good music and have a competent and versatile singer in Michel Zandbergen. All these elements together make “Carnival of Chaos” into an album that will bring joy to many a pure Heavy Metal afficionado.
review
Magic Kingdom - Blaze Of Rage
January 29, 2025
Let me start by saying that Epic Symphonic Power Metal can not function without a good sound. Well, that part is covered nicely, as the production is top notch. Mr. Dushan Petrocci can be proud of what he has achieved on this MAGIC KINGDOM record.
review
Kronowski - Do I Need A Reason
January 29, 2025
KRONOWSKI themselves describe their music as Heavy Metal, but I have a feeling that based on this EP they really don’t know how to market themselves. That probably also is a problem for record companies, as this has been self-released.
review
Hellfire 76 - Rags to Rage
January 29, 2025
HELLFIRE 76 hail from Charlotte in South Carolina, USA. Their musical style is best described as Southern Metal. And it fits. This has all the trademarks that Southern Rock has, only with Metal as the base.
