Wings of Steel - Burning Sands (single)

September 29, 2025

WINGS OF STEEL are back with vengeance on the third single “BURNING SANDS” from their highly anticipated album WINDS OF TIME due for independent release on October 17th.

review

Warcoe – Upon Tall Thrones

September 21, 2025

Quintessential Italian Doom Metal. “Upon Tall Thrones” is the third proof point for WARCOE. This is a band with some unholy staying power.

review

Castle Rat – The Bestiary

September 21, 2025

A metal band that would feel as comfortable at GenCon as they would at Wacken Open Air.

review

Hatred's Rise - Echoes Of The Machine

September 20, 2025

HATRED’S RISE has a hell of a sound, but most of all is comprised by a group of very good and experienced players.

review

Arson Charge - A Dying Light

September 20, 2025

I love that ARSON CHARGE has been signed by a record company with the apt name of Anxious & Angry, as that is the main description of what the music on “A Dying Light” is portraying.

review

Atomik Train - Atomik Train

September 12, 2025

Canada has given the world three of my favorite pass times, hockey, drinking beer and eating bacon, and two of the three I am considered a pro. They also know how to rock and roll, so let me put my beer and bacon down as I drop the needle on the latest import ATOMIK TRAIN.

review

This I Owe – Alchemists

September 12, 2025

Let me take away any doubts; if you like Melodic Heavy Metal with some extra influences thrown in, you might just like what THIS I OWE is bringing on “Alchemists”. This album already was available to the public from 25 February 2025, but now Iron WormHoleDeath have stepped in with their extensive network to help the band to gain international recognition.

review

Wheel Of Time – Asymmetry

September 11, 2025

Progressive Metal of this high calibre and quality needs to be heard by every Prog enthusiast, but also by every Melodic afficionado. The songs are all bloody brilliant, to say the least. The production is clear and transparent, but also very clean. It means that although this is Progressive Metal, the ProgRock fan should also be able to enjoy what WHEEL OF TIME is offering on “Asymmetry”.

review

Hunter – Rebel Angels Rise

September 5, 2025

I have really enjoyed listening to HUNTER on “Rebel Angels Rise”, as it invigorates my own enthusiasm for traditional Heavy Metal.

review

Nefarious - Addicted to Power

September 5, 2025

Thrash Metal is the main ingredient that NEFARIOUS uses to mark their music. but it is not all they use. Nope, you will also get regular Heavy Metal mixed in, but in a way that the Thrash Metal title used will stay upright through it all.

review

The Rods - Wild Dogs Unchained

September 5, 2025

Their eleventh album “Wild Dogs Unchained” hit the streets on 5 September 2025, just one year after the latest one, which is quite fast in today’s market. And again, there is enough to enjoy. In the 52:38 minutes that THE RODS fire their brand of Heavy metal at you there is no choice. You either love what they do, or it just doesn’t rock your boat.

review

Vintersorg - Vattenkrafternas Spel

September 5, 2025

What Vintersorg always had a good knack for is writing good songs that really fit what he is trying to say. And I can tell you that on “Vattenkrafternas Spel” he has been able to do that once again, giving VINERSORG another strong piece of slab with which they hopefully be able to conquer even more souls than they have until now.

review

Animal Rage - Last Standing Man

September 3, 2025

Let me start by saying that ANIMAL RAGE have a lot of courage in how they portray their music. For example, how many bands would be able to put a very much folklore song like “Animals In The Sky” on a record. It might not be Metal, but to my ears it is beautiful.

review

Temtris – Queen Of Crows

September 2, 2025

“Queen Of Crows” offers powerful guitar riffs, great lead guitar solos, a good mixture between heaviness and melodic parts as well as between traditional and modern Heavy Metal elements

review

Traversus - Navigate

August 29, 2025

Sometimes you like to listen something that isn’t going top blow your brains out, or that will have you on edge all of the time. Then you just want something more light-hearted, but still sounding good. Well, I found something that just fits that bill with TRAVERSUS.

review

Zubzero – Perverseverance

August 29, 2025

I can’t help but express my desire to be able to listen to a whole full-length album of good music of this quality. ZUBZERO have surpassed anything they have done in the past and should be ready to go out into the world and collect the praise that they deserve.

review

Frightmare – Snake Island

August 29, 2025

Singer Brian Miller is also active in the band BURNT OFFERINGS, so if the name rings a bell that would make sense. He also is the only original member in the band. The rest came along on 2020. Well, this FRIGHTMARE album “Snake Island” is more of a compilation that houses the most current releases that the band brought into the world.

review

Temptress - Catch the Endless Dawn

August 27, 2025

A great Old School Metal release from this Italian trio, but a better production is needed on the next time.

review

Mob Rules – Rise of the Ruler

August 26, 2025

MOB RULES has been devastating the eardrums of true heavy metal fans for over three decades. With Rise of the Ruler they show zero intention of stopping anytime soon.

review

Wings of Steel - We Rise (single)

August 24, 2025

A beautiful girl can give you a wink and a smile and get labeled a “tease”, well WINGS OF STEEL is that beautiful girl, and their “tease” is the release of the second song/video off their highly anticipated album. The big difference is that I never got a date with that beautiful girl, but I will get a date with the new album “Winds of Time” set for -self-release on October 15.

review

Iron Savior - Reforged - Machine World

August 21, 2025

And on this third release of the “Reforged” series, the German Poer Metal kings show why they are so respected.

review

Airborn - Lizard Secrets: Part Three - Utopia

August 21, 2025

This quartet is a proof that playing in the old Power Metal can be a great strategy for creating great songs!

review

Ashes - Burning in Flames

August 14, 2025

Wow, what a very good Brazilian Heavy Metal act!

review

Blutgott - Legions Of Metal

August 14, 2025

It always is a real treat when you get to review a release by BLUTGOTT. The reason of that being that you get three albums for the price of one. That does sound strange, but there is always a BLUTGOTT album that is pure Heavy metal in all it’s facets, but you also get a BLOOD GOD and a DEBAUCHERY album.

review

Rise Of The Wood - Discharge

August 14, 2025

Let me start off with a bit of history first. In 2015 in the province of South Holland in the Netherlands a group of musicians got together and started a new band, which they baptised as RISE OF THE WOOD. And yes, if you are of a dirty mind, that could be exactly why this name was chosen.

review

Black Water Rising - The Edge

August 12, 2025

I wouldn’t call myself a Stoner Rock lover or connoisseur, but I do love old fashioned Rock and Metal, and even with the contemporary sound that is to be found on “The Edge” I hear enough that makes me travel back in time when everything was done manually, all those expensive and complicated gadgets weren’t available.

review

Ashes of The Sun - Gods With Machines

August 9, 2025

Well, let me first off tell you that this is not Extreme Metal in any way or form. No, on “Gods With Machines” you will hear simple Heavy metal and Rock, intertwined with slower and more emotional musical parts to heighten the diversity and widen the range of musical paths travelled.

review

Avalon - We Got This Idea (Reissue)

August 6, 2025

This boosted reissue from this North American Heavy Metal act is justified by the quartet's music, indeed.

review

Void - Forbidden Morals

August 4, 2025

Musically there is one thing for sure; if you like it straight forward without any side-tracking you should skip “Forbidden Morals” as it is like an ADHD patient that has consumed too much caffeine.

review

Martyr - Dark Believer

August 4, 2025

After their very impressive 2022 album “Planet Metalhead” they have more inspiration and now are giving us “Dark Believer”, their sixth studio album in total. And if you have heard or do own any of their former albums, I can put your mind at ease, as MARTYR have taken off where they left it all last time

review

Reinforcer – Ice And Death

August 4, 2025

“Ice And Death” is a traditional Heavy Metal, album and it offers solid guitar riffs, catchy and at times dark melodies, and excellent lead guitar contributions and solos

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.

July 24, 2025

Angel Of Damnation - Ethereal Blasphemy

July 16, 2025

It's a case of 'the-cover-isn't-telling-the-truth', because here you'll find a very good Doom/Heavy Metal release.
