Album Review
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.
review
Diamonds Hadder - Beyond The Breakers
January 29, 2025
DIAMONDS HADDER are very much influenced by DIO-era RAINBOW, by the DIO-era BLACK SABBATH and the first few DIO albums. Do you see a pattern emerging here?
review
Reckless Manslaughter - Sinking Into Filth
January 20, 2025
A disgusting display of what German death has to offer
review
Deathrite - Flames Licking Fever
January 6, 2025
A raw primitive death with early punk rock undertones from eastern Germany
review
Paragon – Metalation
December 23, 2024
There is no doubt what kind of music PARAGON plays. It is Teutonic Heavy Metal through and through. This is just as German as the Oktoberfest, Currywurst and Bratwurst. “Metalation” is the fourteenth studio album the band has made since 1994, and I have to say that it is a belter.
review
Mystyc Blade - The Master Is Inside
December 23, 2024
That feeling that you will get from listening to “The Master Is Inside” is one of discovery, as if you have found another diamond in the rough. And yes, maybe you have if you like what MYSTYC BLADE is treating us to.
review
Empires Of Eden - Guardians Of Time
December 23, 2024
This is Epic Orchestral Heavy Metal with a lot of external influences that ensure that variety and diversity is rather high on the list of achievements when it comes to “Guardians Of Time”.
review
Triumpher - Spirit Invictus
December 19, 2024
The songs they have written are all of a very decent to good quality, with good rhythms, impressive sounds and most of all convincing atmosphere. You can really feel yourself standing with TRIUMPHER and heading into battle.
review
Overt Enemy – Insurrection
December 19, 2024
Hot damn, who is this trying to blow me away from the get go? It is OVERT ENEMY, and opening song “Resinated” has a very strong riff and an immense intensity that makes you take notice, whether you want to or not.
review
Dying Angel - Angels Rising
December 19, 2024
Hailing from Wehrheim, Hesse in Germany we have DYING ANGEL, a band that has been around since 2019 and plays Heavy Metal, with a strong connection to the NWOBHM era.
review
Ariah – Ariah
December 19, 2024
I am quite smitten with “Ariah” and would have liked to hear more of these guys. I am glad that Someoddpilot Records took the plunge and decided to rerelease this 35-year-old gem.
review
Earthburner - Permanent Dawn
December 17, 2024
From the urban wastelands of Chicagoland comes a torrent of putrid aggression with a disgusting display of deathgrind
review
Chained to the Dead - A Gruesome Encounter
December 17, 2024
Influenced by old shool death that is tinged with hard rock elements from old New Jersey
review
Recidivist - Madness Malformed
December 11, 2024
Unapologetic raw death meatal from SLC
review
Van Zant - Always Look Up
December 9, 2024
The lyrical content of “Always Look Up” makes it very clear about what has happened with the VAN ZANT brothers in their musical as well as family lives. They are all written and sung in plain English, without mincing words or intentions. What it boils down to is that after some 20 years of chasing their dreams they found that it was time to return to the beliefs they had before that time.
review
Sunstorm - Restless Fight
December 9, 2024
You would think that I have a membership for reviewing albums where Ronnie Romero is the singer. But I haven’t, it just turns out that he is singing on a lot of albums that I consider interesting.
review
Ozora – Litanie
December 9, 2024
After extensively listening to “Litanie” I can only say that I am impressed with the OZORA and their musicality. Especially in the heavier department they are a force to be reckoned with.
review
Axetasy - Withering Tides
December 9, 2024
This is a good Speed/Thrash Metal album. When it comes to AXETASY I can’t just name those two musical styles separate, as they are interwoven in such a way in every song that it is almost impossible to not see them as a Siamese twin.
review
Apocalypse – Pandaemonium
December 9, 2024
APOCALYPSE wants to mix Black, Death and Epic Metal and try to sound different on every album. Whether he has done that or not is not for me to say, as “Pandaemonium” is the first time I ever listened to APOCALYPSE.
review
Damaged – Under Siege
December 1, 2024
I can’t help but think that if DAMAGED would have had just that bit of luck, they could have made quite the impression, because I really like what I am hearing. The songs are strong, powerful and full of variety without ever losing face of the fact that they need to imprint themselves on the audience. And they do. “Under Siege” is good stuff.
