Album Reviews

Power Paladin is a power metal band hailing from Iceland. They originally formed back in 2017 under the name Paladin. In order to avoid confusion with similarly named thrash and heavy metal bands however, they wisely added the prefix "Power" to their name. 'With the Magic of Windfyre Steel' is the band's debut album, released earlier this year through Atomic Fire Records. This was also the first full-length release from the recently founded record label.

Father Befouled has firmly established itself in a niche for the obscure death metal style. Having formed in 2006, the Atlanta quartet released four albums that would set the eerie and darken concoction that is their sound. Mastermind Justin Stubbs (vocals, guitars, synth), Derrik Goulding (guitars), Rhys Spencer (bass), and Amos Rifkin (drums) continue to deliver their oppressive brand of nebulous death metal. Those who like their music draped in murky darkness rest assured, because their fifth album “Crowned In Veneficum” is a grisly embodiment sculptured by down-tuned guitars and pulverizing drum attacks.
