Violent Definition - Progressive Obsoletion
November 12, 2024
Let’s take the bull by the horns; this is good stuff! These Greeks know how to play write, play, record and release Thrash Metal.
review
Carnosus - Wormtales
November 12, 2024
A disgusting display of melodic thech death in all the right ways hailing from Sweden
review
Trapeze - Lost Tapes Vol. 2
November 9, 2024
What makes TRAPEZE so impressive is the fact that without exemption every musician associated with or playing on the songs is a world class one. It doesn’t matter who was playing, Mel Galley set the path and the rest would follow, whilst still being allowed to put their own stamp on the parts they were playing.
review
Invasion – Invasion II
November 9, 2024
“Invasion II” is a very good album, from start to finish, with good musicianship and very good songs.
review
Vicious Rain - There Is Beauty In Letting Go
November 6, 2024
A torrent of Swiss Post-Hardcore blasing out of the town of Baden with emotion
review
Turbokill – Champion
November 5, 2024
“Champion” is my first encounter with TURBOKILL. And one thing becomes very clear from the very first listen; these guys know how to write and play bloody good riffs. Rather high paced, very intense and drenched with class.
review
Shining – Feberdrömmar
November 5, 2024
New album? Well, that’s not exactly true, as the original version of this album, called “8½: Feberdrömmar I Vaket Tillstånd” is from 2013. It was an in-betweener for the band between albums. Apparently a good one, as it is being rereleased.
review
Salem UK - Outer Limits
November 5, 2024
For those who are not familiar with the music SALEM UK plays, we are talking fast paced Melodic Heavy Metal. Whether you listen to the 2016 album “Dark Days” or anything later than that, it is easy recognisable as SALEM UK. That is not only because of the kind of music that is played, but is also due to the very distinctive and rather high pitched voice of singer Simon Saxby.
review
Retched - The Overlord Messiah
November 5, 2024
RETCHED plays US Metal. If you are prone to the early years of OMEN, you will certainly like the sound as well as the music. If you are a fan of the first albums of MALICE, you will love the music and find it a pity that the sound is lacking a bit of conviction.
review
Obnoxious Youth - Burning Savage
November 5, 2024
Listening to “Burning Savage” is quite a challenge. Not one song is sane from start to finish, with the title song as a perfect example. The thing is, when band goes mad, it is also very hard to properly hear and understand what is being sung/shouted/screamed.
review
Blackevil - Praise The Communion Fire For The Unhallowed Sacrament
November 5, 2024
The production of “Praise The Communion Fire For The Unhallowed Sacrament” is bloody good indeed. Crisp and clear where it concerns the Thrash and Heavy Metal parts, and vague and misty when Black Metal is reigning. But you can distinguish all the sounds being played all the time. That in itself is worth listening to this latest offering of BLACKEVIL
review
Pythonic - EP 1
November 4, 2024
Blasting out of the vast empty plains comes a metalcore torrent.
review
Thermality-The Final Hours
October 30, 2024
A cascade of melodic death tinged in metolcore from Sweden
review
Heavenblack – Blindfolded
October 28, 2024
What HEAVENBLACK has going for themselves is that the know how to write songs, they are quite proficient on their instruments plus they have very competent singers in Marios Kouroupis and Dimitris Varvarigos.
review
Souls of Steel - Songs Of Steel
October 28, 2024
SOULS OF STEEL classes themselves as Heavy/Thrash Metal. Well, that is the right order, but I wouldn’t hesitate to add Power Metal to those qualifications. That is when you get the whole picture.
review
Theigns & Thralls – The Keep & The Spire
October 28, 2024
One thing is sure, the music of THEIGNS & THRALLS on "The Keep & The Spire" will have you dancing, tapping your feet, raising your tankard and sometimes even banging your head. That’s how addictive it is.
review
137 - Prey To Your Deception
October 22, 2024
What surprises me most of all when listening to “Prey To Your Deception” is the fact that 137 never had the luxury or pleasure of being signed to any label. To me that is like the very definition of a grave injustice.
review
Sign of the Jackal - Heavy Metal Survivors
October 22, 2024
As for the music on “Heavy Metal Survivors”, it is as straight forward as an arrow. Hard driven riffs, flanked by thumping bass sounds and very inspired drumming is what SIGN OF THE JACKAL is shooting at you. it works, and it will have you interested in a heartbeat.
review
Sinner's Blood - Dark Horizons
October 22, 2024
As for the musical direction SINNER’S BLOOD has chosen, it is Melodic Metal, with a mix of Heavy and Power Metal mixed in constantly, but also some slightly Industrial and even Gothic snippets here and there. And whilst listening to “Dark Horizons” I can only conclude that they do have their ducks in a row, as what SINNER’S BLOOD is playing is being done with a bucketload of conviction, a heap of enthusiasm, a lot of good sounding harmony vocals and an abundance of musical ability.
review
Stryper - When We Were Kings
October 22, 2024
The thing is, when the music starts you will immediately be able to identify it as STRYPER. The way the riffing is done, the sound of the guitars, the structures of the songs and of course the very distinctive voice of Michael Sweet make sure you know who you’re listening to.
review
War Dogs - Only The Stars Are Left
October 22, 2024
Spain is a country that is producing more and more bands that fit into the NWOTHM category. That in itself is quite commendable, as long as the bands in question make good music. One of those is WAR DOGS from Alicante, in the South of that country.
review
D-A-D - Speed of Darkness
October 15, 2024
For those who are not familiar with D-A-D, the4ir musical style is Hard Rock, with a definite AEROSMITH vibe running through the songs, with (of course) some AC/DC parts thrown in for good measure. And then they add their own musical influences in the blender. This mix gives them a sound that is very much their own, very recognisable, but also very accessible and extremely easy to listen to.
review
Satan - Songs in Crimson
October 15, 2024
But I can hear in the sound of the guitars that SATAN is smiling. He is seeing that the world is going down fast, and that his kingdom and reign is about to take hold. That might explain why the riffs on “Songs In Crimson” sound less menacing than they usually do, instead they sound more upbeat.
review
Wicked Maraya - Cycles
October 15, 2024
WICKED MARAYA. After releasing their demo in 1993 they were signed, which led to the original release of “Cycles”. And now, it has been rereleased to celebrate its thirtieth birthday.
review
Virgin Steele - Guardians Of The Flame (Reissue)
October 5, 2024
I have also reviewed their debut album “Virgin Steele I”, and the leap forward from that one is remarkable. Not that they have improved so much in the quality department, as that was already okay on that one, but VIRGIN STEELE has been able to filter down all the angels they were aiming for on that one and brought it down to a few.
review
Virgin Steele - Virgin Steele I (Reissue)
October 5, 2024
If you wish to know, this sounds more like a compilation album than a VIRGIN STEELE album. Why is that so? Well, this really is a debut album, and the band hadn’t decided on a definite musical direction yet. You will hear just about anything, from AOR and Glam Metal to Power Metal to US Metal and Heavy Metal.
review
Moggs Motel - Moggs Motel
October 3, 2024
“Moggs Motel” is a very pleasant record to listen to. The songs are simple, straight forward, but also with enough body and variety to keep your mind active.
review
Bütcher - On Fowl of Tyrant Wing
October 3, 2024
BÜTCHER is on its second life. The first one was from 2002 until 2007, and only produced two demos. This time their existence started in 2017, and has brought us as Metal afficionados a lot more physical music. Metal with is mostly Speed orientated, with large additions of Black Metal and a little bit less Thrash Metal parts.
review
Goat Semen- Fuck Christ
September 24, 2024
Trv Kvlt Peruvian bestial black metal that ravages with a raw chaotic agression
review
Carrion Throne - The Feast of Human Vices
September 17, 2024
From the Chicago wasteland comes a vile brutal slam death that is fetid with putrid thick riffs, disgusting vocals that are coated in a heavy tone with relentless drums
review
Ancient Entities - Echoes Of Annihilation
September 17, 2024
Spawing from the upper midwest hotbed that is the Milwaukee underground metal scene come a new group with a heavy putrid sound of pure death.
