Savage Sword - Demo 2026
January 27, 2026
The production isn't great, and I love it.
review
Rozario - Northern Crusaders
January 19, 2026
The sound that ROZARIO brings to the table is very interesting The musical genre might be Heavy/Power Metal, the sound they use can easily be seen as contemporary, but it also has one foot very clearly in the eighties.
review
Wreck-Defy - Dissecting The Leech
January 19, 2026
WRECK-DEFY sounds an awful lot like an unleashed version of OVERKILL, with the addition of some “Slave To The Grind” era SKID ROW. Let that sink in for a moment.
review
Death Dealer - Reign Of Steel
January 18, 2026
As far as DEATH DEALER's music is concerned, you can compare “Reign Of Steel” to anything you might hear from THE THREE TREMORS in comparison to any other band the members are active in. This is very Heavy Power Metal with a lot of over the top vocals complementing the rather busy, utterly impressive and quite intense and intricate guitar playing by the two outstanding guitarists.
review
Skull & Crossbones - Time
January 8, 2026
Opening tune “Echoes of Eternity” goes from 0 to 100 mph in just a few seconds. And let me tell you, if this song doesn’t do it for you, just ignore the rest of the album.
review
HyperioN - Cybergenesis
January 7, 2026
HYPERION isn’t the next band to take over the world, but they are a band that has the ability to please and entertain a lot of (mostly) old fashioned Metal fans with the music they have provided us with on “Cybergenesis”. And because they have been able to provide the record with a very clear, transparent, but above all contemporary sound, a lot of the young Metal afficionados might be quite willing to not only give this a go, but also their sign of approval.

December 28, 2025

review
Risen Atlantis - Power To The Past
December 27, 2025
A solid power metal album... just, like, don't use AI for the artwork next time. Please?
review
DarkTribe - Forgotten Reveries
December 7, 2025
Clean vocals? Boo-hoo. This is METAL.
review
Not Fragile - One Way To Glory
December 2, 2025
I have also reviewed their debut EP “Who Dares Wins”, and you’ll find that as the one next to this one on the METAL TEMPLE site. What I get from listening to their debut EP as well as this compilation album is that NOT FRAGILE has been very constant in the quality of their songs. Nowhere are they superb or out-of-this-world brilliant, but neither can you catch them being subpar at any time at all.
review
Not Fragile - Who Dares Wins
December 2, 2025
I have to say that as a debut you can do a lot worse than “Who Dares Wins”, while at the same time it will be hard to do much better.
review
Kill Ritual - In My Head
December 2, 2025
Musically the band have evolved in such a way that it will be easier for new admirers to step in, whilst those who already liked what KILL RITUAL did so far will be able to continue their admiration. “In My Head” is that good, yes.
review
Grailknights – Forever
December 2, 2025
GRAILKNIGHTS deliver what their fans expect from them: a journey into the GRAILKNIGHTS universe. To understand the sound and lyrics of “Forever”, you must let go and enter the journey
review
Them - Psychedelic Enigma
November 30, 2025
Musically these guys are clearly very well versed in reading each-others minds and complementing what they do in such a way that it all sounds as coherent as superglue. It makes going through the 56 minutes of playing time that “Psychedelic Enigma” holds rather easy to endure.
review
Dragon Throne - Tale of the Two: Dusk
November 30, 2025
I now know what a koto, an erhu, and a shakuhachi are!
review
Tales Of Destiny – Ashes Of Destiny
November 24, 2025
“Ashes Of Destiny” offers a blend of traditional Power Metal elements and classical Heavy Metal. The guitars and vocals are the key contributions to the album with good and variable guitar riffs, cool solos, and very versatile vocals
review
Redshark – Sudden Impact
November 14, 2025
What immediately becomes clear is that the band have opted to change their dimensions between Heavy Metal, Power Metal and Speed Metal by putting the emphasis on the latter of the three for “Sudden Impact”. It makes this album just a tad more intense, slightly more in your face and certainly unable to ignore when you are listening to it.
review
In Virtue - Age of Legends
November 10, 2025
I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by the music that is on offer, but also at the quality at what IN VIRTUE is capable of delivering.
review
Suotana - Ounas II
November 10, 2025
This isn’t soft or gentle; this is like a battering ram knocking on your plywood front door. It comes straight through, causing all the wood splinters to scatter around the whole of your front room. Musically “Ounas II” will have your brain working in overtime, trying to accept and dissect what is coming out of your speakers. Your thoughts will be all over the place, scattered, until you start to get a feeling at where SUOTANA is going.
review
Elettra Storm – Evertale
November 4, 2025
“Evertale” has all the ingredients of excellent Power Metal: the pace, the guitar riffing, the melodies, and the solos
review
Typhus - Fate Weaver
October 18, 2025
If I had to write a conclusion in a few short words , it would be that “Fate Weaver” is a solid album that will appeal to a lot of lovers of Heavy, Power and Speed Metal. If TYPHUS works on their writing and is able to improve with time, I feel that they can reach a really big audience.
review
Hyperstrike – High Risk
September 30, 2025
“High Risk” is a Power Metal album, but the album sound is very versatile and leaves plenty of room for other genres and inspirations
review
Phenomy - Phantasmagoria
September 29, 2025
“Phantasmagoria” is a whirlwind of different emotions and levels of intensity, but there is one thing that all songs have in common; they all sound bloody good and just right. This makes PHENOMY into a very interesting prospect for any adventurous Metalhead or Heavy Rocker.
review
Warrant - The Speed Of Metal
September 21, 2025
I have to admit that I can’t help smiling when listening to "The Speed Of Metal". WARRANT have done good.
review
Paradox – Mysterium
September 20, 2025
The songs on “Mysterium” are all of a very good standard, all have a tale to tell, and are without exception well written, properly played and expertly recorded.
review
Exiled – The Real Thing
September 8, 2025
, “The Real Thing” is a very solid and worthwhile effort by EXILED. I now am wondering how these guys sound live, as this is the kind of music that should do better in a live setting than in a studio. Let’s hope we get the chance to find out.
review
Alterium – Stormrage
September 2, 2025
“Stormrage” delivers traditional Power Metal elements combined with modern orchestral arrangements
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
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
Master Spy - Maze Runner
July 24, 2025
This Canadian Heavy/Power Metal act presents a good work, but needs some improvements in the future.
review
Warkings - Armageddon
July 1, 2025
The Kings of War on Heavy/Power Metal are back with a great release.
review
Celestial Wizard – Regenesis
June 23, 2025
“Regenesis” is a smart blend of Heavy, Thrash, and melodic Death Metal with some tracks feature all genre elements at once
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 & Damned - Resurrection
June 5, 2025
Wow, these Germans created an excellent and modern Heavy/Power Metal release!
review
Nightsteel – Nightsteel
May 11, 2025
NIGHTSTEEL offers up a solid slab of Power Metal with their self-titled debut. Fans of 80’s metal should be all over this one.
