It’s safe to say that you cannot call yourself a true Metalhead and have not heard of MESSIAH. I will be the first to admit that I was not an active listener of the band, but I do own “Rotten Perish” from ’92 and I’m aware of their legacy. For me, even from the early […]
The band was formed by three of the last line-up members of MANILLA ROAD, vocalist Bryan Patrick, bassist Phil Ross and drummer Andreas Neuderth. Joining them is guitarist Kalli Coldsmith, who has taken a good part of the song writing too. They released a 2 song promo EP back in 2023 and now their self-titled […]

SAVAGED from Barcelona was formed in 2021 and quickly gained attention in the underground Metal community with their independent EP, “Knights Of Metal”. Two songs in this EP showcased the band’s enticing musicianship, combining elements of Speed and fast-paced Heavy Metal with memorable spine-chilling melodies. The band’s guitar duo, Jamie Killhead and Joan Grimalt, shine […]
Since I first discovered the Californian band DIPYGUS some time ago, I fell completely in love with their sound. They have two previous albums, “Deathooze” and “Bushmeat,” which are both impressive works. However, when it comes to their new album, I can only say it’s awesome! This is not Death Metal for the faint of […]
Formed in 2019, here is a young band that would clearly fit in perfectly well at Headbangers Open Air in Germany (or other gatherings of old school Metal freaks in Europe or elsewhere). From Phoenix, Arizona, SHOW N TELL send a clear message: fast Heavy Metal is still a force to be reckoned with. Untouched […]
This is the second album from the German duo ÆTERNUM SACRO – and quite a stunner and progression from the first album. A natural progression so to say. The first album “O Cruor Sanguinis” from 2021 is instrumental all the way through, offering great enchanting and drawing ambient sound spheres of melancholia and mysticism. Though […]
ÁRSTÍÐIR LÍFSINS originated in Iceland back in 2008, but now also conformed with a few German members. The band name means “The Season Of Life” in the ancient Icelandic language and they have released five other full lenghts so far. Their new two-song EP, with a playing time of over 40 minutes, could be as […]
SATANIC WITCH consists mainly of the two female singers of E-L-R and the string section of WOLVENNEST. If you are aware the two bands, you can guess what “4:44” sounds like: relying more on atmosphere and mood and less on musical finesse, this debut offers a gloomy mix of Black Metal, Darkwave, simple Electro and […]
One of the most intriguing parts of the German Progressive Rockers CHAPEL OF DISEASE is that you can expect the unexpected. Their shifts, both in the musical horizons and artistry in general, are always notable since their previous endeavor, “And As We Have Seen the Storm, We Have Embraced The Eye,” was released back in […]
