Time flies. I can’t believe it has already been three years since I reviewed this French one-man army’s debut full-length “À La Ruine”. I was quite fond of the attack back then, a harsh Black Metal base, with a healthy dose of wicked Thrash Metal blended into the mix. Powerful and quite catchy. Catchy a […]
To be honest, I thought that MAUSOLEUM GATE had thrown in the towel. This Finnish band released two exceptionally great albums back in the 10s. The self-titled album in 2014 and “Into Dark Divinity” in 2017. Since then, it’s been quite quiet except for a 7” released in 2019. Though as we are about to […]
Emerging from the historic metal heart of Athens, DARKLON returns with their third full-length offering, “Mind Reaper”. Since their formation in 2017 and the 2019 debut “Rise From Death”, the band has been a steadfast force in the Hellenic scene, known for dragging the listener into the trenches with their throbbing Metal sound. While their […]
I mention in another review how everyday people crave or look for the staples in our food habits. Be it a good standard burger or a cheesy pizza with our favorite toppings or even just a good ol ‘ice cold beer. We know what we like, it may be standard and run of the mill, […]
When the first notes of the intro ‘To Your Nightmare’ reached my ears, I was quite irritated. I quickly took another look at the cover, something must have gone wrong. Sounds more like atmospheric post Black Metal than Thrash Metal. After a little over a minute, I was finally relieved and OUTBURST deliver what the […]
I remember I had the chance to write the review of “Azketem”, their 2024 full-length and it is clear that this solo project from Berlin has kept its momentum going and its identity since those early days in 2018. The transition from the raw roots of the demos, to a more hazy and melancholic territory […]
There is a feeling of sadness that only comes when you are still awake and the rest of the world is quiet. It is that mix of being alone and feeling the silence of the night. This Swedish duo NATTRADIO knows that feeling very well, I think. And they put all of that feeling into […]
Dallas based Heavy Metal newcomers MYTH CARVER have just landed their first EP onto the scene titled “Twist Of Fate”. The EP consists of six tracks including two bonus songs. The quintet has released a few singles in the past two years but not much else is known about the band (even after checking Metal […]
A very productive band, STEEL ARCTUS now present us with their third full-length album since their inception in 2020. “Dreamruler” appears to be a very catchy and well-produced work that is nevertheless a bit hard to grasp for the reviewer. Characterising themselves as Epic Heavy Metal, they nevertheless come across less epic music-wise than other […]
In the famous book “Moby Dick” in chapter 93 the cabin boy Pip falls overboard and drifts in the endless ocean before he is rescued. The chapter is more frightening than many sermons about demons and corpsepainted figures in the forest at night, although of course they have their right to exist. Since the beginning […]
