review
Divni San - Dreamlike Tales
August 1, 2025
What’s in a name. I just can’t envision what DIVNI SAN should mean. If you look it up on your AI, it will tell you that it comes from the Slavic languages and means something like Marvelous Dream. What I can tell you is that it is a Heavy Metal band from Brussels, Belgium and was founded in 2021 by ex-members of MIDRANGE.
review
Iron Spell - From the Grave
August 1, 2025
The songs on “From the Grave” themselves are all very pleasant, have that ability get you tapping your foot, nodding your head, but also have the diversity and differences plus the breaks that make them all sound just that different from the other ones, while maintain the cohesion in sound that will make you realise that yes, you still are listening to the same IRON SPELL throughout the whole album.
review
Pulpit Vomit - Hospital Lens
July 22, 2025
What surprises me most is that, except for the opening song, I was quite at ease with all the music on offer here. It might be an Extreme Metal album, but I feel that “Hospital Lens” has a lot going for it in the short time it has to impress.
review
Heathen's Eye - Port Inspiro
July 22, 2025
HEATHEN’S EYE needs to change their current social status from a Project into Real Band. Keep the Melodic Metal association, but most of all, stay together and keep on doing what you are doing now.
review
Gods of Tomorrow - Gods Of Tomorrow
July 22, 2025
What does help when you play Melodic Metal is having a good singer, and in that respect GODS OF TOMORROW doesn’t need to think back or reconsider, as Felipe Del Valle has a very pleasant voice that is capable of enhancing just those emotions that the music is asking for.
review
Eden Circus – Irrlicht
July 22, 2025
If one thing is clear for ma as the reviewer, it is that EDEN CIRCUS has managed to put ten very impressive songs on “Irrlicht”.
review
Horror Of Horrors - Sounds Of Eerie (Reissue)
July 16, 2025
The Old School Death Metal that is being played by HORROR OF HORRORS on "Sounds Of Eerie" is straight forward no-nonsense music without strange breaks, difficult rhythms or weird sounds.
review
Horror Of Horrors - Rust, Flesh and Dust (Reissue)
July 16, 2025
“Rust, Flesh and Dust” was not expected at all in 2017, as HORROR OF HORRORS weren’t active at that time. But after listening to this album, I must admit that I am glad that they did release this one, and that I am equally happy with VIC Records for giving this one a second chance.
review
Patriarchs In Black – Home
July 16, 2025
There are no bad songs on “Home”. PATRIARCHS IN BLACK have been able to keep ascending and get better with every album they do.
review
The Medea Project - Kharon
July 16, 2025
Musically THE MEDEA PROJECT do just what I was expecting, which is mixing the Doom Metal elements with Sludge Metal parts and then dribbling their Gothic Metal gravy over all of it. And that does give me some very interesting songs and soundscapes that take just under 40 minutes on “Kharon”.
review
Six Feet Deeper - Prayer By the Edge
July 8, 2025
Hard Rock with a sometimes Bluesy undertone, whilst on other occasions it will be more Rock or even Metal. What does become quite clear is that we are dealing with a very talented group of musicians within SIX FEET DEEPER. They are able to write good songs, that have a bucketload of emotions paired with very good instrumentals.
review
Hammer – Trapped
July 8, 2025
But let’s get back to “Trapped”. It is Extreme Metal indeed, because if I would have to try and classify it in any other way I wouldn’t have been able to, even if my life depended on it. Yes, you will get Groove Metal, Death Metal, Punk, Hardcore, Grindcore and Sludge in there somewhere, but none of those fit the bill, so by branding it Extreme Metal the band is talking it easy on us listeners and reporters.
review
White Widdow - White Widdow (Reissue)
July 1, 2025
As for “White Widdow” (2010), I can tell you that it sounds rather good from start to finish. The musicians in the band are very capable, know where to play but also when to either tone it down or even keep quiet.
review
White Widdow - Serenade (Reissue)
July 1, 2025
Only a year after the release of the WHITE WIDDOW debut album “White Widdow” in 2010, they were back with their sophomore album “Serenade”. Like the debut (and their other albums) it was originally released through AOR Heaven. Now, some 14 years later, Pride & Joy Music Classixx has taken the time to re-release the first three, and added a bonus track on each one.
review
White Widdow - Crossfire (Reissue)
July 1, 2025
Four years after their debut album “White Widdow” (2010), and three years sophomore album “Serenade” (2011), WHITE WIDDOW came back again by releasing another studio album, this time named “Crossfire” (2014). And after those first two albums the band needed to pull out all the stops to make sure they improved what was already there.
review
Degenerate - Rituals Of Rage
June 30, 2025
As for the songs on “Rituals Of Rage”, they are all within the range that is between good to outstanding. None of them are anything less that good, but also none of them outshine the others by being more than outstanding. To me that shows that DEGENERATE has consistency in their song writing and playing.
review
Nightbearer – Defiance
June 30, 2025
There is no mistaking the fact that NIGHTBEARER has decided to add Metalcore influences into their Death Metal, creating their own brand of Deathcore. And although I wouldn’t consider myself a fan of this musical genre., I am thoroughly enjoying “Defiance” as an album.
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.
