TEMPLAR – Conquering Swords

Frank Stöver — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 09:51:50 +0000

Do you remember the “Treacherous Beast” EP, which sent headbangers across the country into a state of ecstasy almost two years ago? Three tracks, ten minutes only, but yet the sound was perfectly situated somewhere between late-seventies Hardrock and this moment, when Metal emerged and became a subgenre in its own right. Now these four […]

Once again Darkness Shall Rise Productions rises to the occasion and have cranked out a reissue of a long out of print classic, this time in the form of THOU SHALT SUFFER’s compilation of material known as “Into The Woods Of Belial”. The last time this compilation was released was back in 2013 via Century […]

THE DEAD DAISIES – Live Plus Five

Frank Stöver — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 09:28:42 +0000

The older you get, the more you start to appreciate music that is based on the roots of everything that turned into Hardrock and Heavy Metal in the years to follow. THE DEAD DAISIES is one of those bands that I most certainly would have ignored when all I listened to just had to be […]

TULUS – Morbid Desires

Frank Stöver — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 06:28:10 +0000

Formed way back in 1991, TULUS is a Black Metal band from the first wave of Norwegian bands that released a few albums back in the day and that I remember a lot, due to the weird cover picture of their first album, with a kinda corpse painted guy with braids, that looked really weird […]

TRANSILVANIA – Magia Posthuma

Frank Stöver — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 06:23:43 +0000

The combination of Black Metal and Thrash Metal is a mutual pairing that goes as far back as early BATHORY, SODOM and DESTRUCTION. Whether the balance tips in favor of one genre over the other, it doesn’t matter, the combination of Black Metal and Thrash Metal is so consistently potent that, year after year, strong […]

From the ancient and sacred soil of Athens, Greece, TRIUMPHER came out with their third full length offering, “Piercing The Heart Of The World”. Following the impact of their 2023 debut “Storming The Walls” and the furious drama of 2024’s “Spirit Invictus”, this quintet which is led by Mars Triumph on vocals, alongside guitarists Christopher […]

TOTAL ANNIHILATION – Mountains Of Madness

Frank Stöver — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 07:12:35 +0000

When I think about Death / Thrash, my mind gravitates towards the same albums every time: “Beneath The Remains”, “Tapping The Vein”, “The Ultimate Incantation” etc. There seems to be a certain unknown aspect of those albums that has hooked countless fans, new and old, to them. And I think that aspect has not been […]

TURBO’S TRIBUNAL – Mills Of Tribunal

Frank Stöver — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 08:32:31 +0000

Wow! I know there are many one man bands, but for some reason not that many traditional Heavy Metal one man bands. Well, this is one of the best I’ve heard in some time. Coming from the land of MERCYFUL FATE, formed by Andreas Thunbo, who has 30 years of experience under his belt, playing […]

TÚMULO – Evangelho Do Canhoto

Frank Stöver — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 16:17:23 +0000

There are always times in doing reviews that I come across a band that is completely new to me, and it gives me that experience of wonder. Will it be something special or just a waste of plastic? Much like we all have gone through, mainly when we step into a record store and are […]

THOSE WHO BRING THE TORTURE – Miscreant World

Frank Stöver — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 08:22:56 +0000

You can run, but you can not hide. At least when you are writing reviews. We are talking about one of the most active musicians the Death Metal genre has ever seen and of course everyone knows the name Rogga Johansson. For me, his works were always just average, not terrible, but also nothing special […]
