SMOULDER – Witch Wife In An Alien World

Frank Stöver — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 15:26:18 +0000

Formed in 2013 in Calgary and later relocated to Toronto, SMOULDER have established themselves in just a few years as one of the most interesting acts of the new Epic Metal wave, drawing heavily on sword & sorcery fiction to build their imagery. After the demo “The Sword Woman”, the debut “Times Of Obscene Evil […]

CARDINALS FOLLY – Let the Posers Fall!

Frank Stöver — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 07:04:03 +0000

Time flies, I can’t believe that CARDINALS FOLLY was formed in 2007, it feels like yesteryear. Though here, 19 years later, the lads have seven full-length albums under their belt, with this new release “Let The Posers Fall!”. The Fins released the first three albums on Shadow Kingdom Records, before entering a limbo period with […]

DREAM UNENDING – Certain Uncertainties

Frank Stöver — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 07:04:03 +0000

All I can say about this release is: be ready. Be ready to ask yourself whether the record company accidentally blended a progressive, Jazz lounge band with the latest DISMA, or whether the band took Lord knows how much acid in the rehearsal room and just played anything, literally anything that came to mind. Some […]

SCALD – Relics

Frank Stöver — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 06:56:52 +0000

The name SCALD should ring a bell if you’re into Epic Doom Metal, as this Russian band has become a legend of the genre over the years. Founded in Jaroslawl in 1993, the band recorded a demo a year later when they had their final five-piece line-up together. This tape, titled “North Winds”, got positive […]

CRIMSON COVEN – I – The Forge

Frank Stöver — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 06:56:52 +0000

One of the many fascinating aspects of Heavy Metal is the fact that the album cover alone often gives a clue as to the band’s style. It comes as little surprise, at least to me, that the Spanish band CRIMSON COVEN are following the path of classic Heavy / Epic Metal. MANOWAR was the first […]

ASSUMPTION – Paradox Of The Arrow

Frank Stöver — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 17:18:41 +0000

I’ve been following Italy’s ASSUMPTION’s music for quite a while, so I was excited when I first saw it announced that 20 Buck Spin will release their new album. After listening to it I can say I’m happy they’re getting on the contemporary trend of dark melodicism I’m noticing with bands like WITCH VOMIT, MEFITIS […]

AMANITE – The Dance Of The Datura

Frank Stöver — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 08:10:18 +0000

AMANITE is the definition of some kind of mushroom that can go from a delicacy to some others that are poisonous and hallocinogen. Actually the lyrical theme of the band is in connection with nature and it is told in 10 songs of old school Death Metal, that draws influences from bands like ASPHYX, MASSACRE […]

NAIL BY NAIL – Internal Inferno

Frank Stöver — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 06:58:09 +0000

Through the years I’ve encountered many German Black Metal bands. And they range from a “strict” Norwegian style to bands incorporating a lot of influences. In this case, NAIL BY NAIL’s sophomore full-length “Internal Inferno” is just that. An album that has a base on this subgenre and also mixes in a wide range of […]

IN THIS HELL – Bliss

Frank Stöver — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 06:26:45 +0000

We Metal fans have never been as blessed as we are these days. New bands are popping up everywhere, new releases from new bands, new releases from old bands, new releases from old, reformed bands, with hints of original or not. Old and dusty demos are being released from everywhere in the world, forgotten music […]
