Album Reviews
Take 4 talented metal musicians, seventies rock classics dipped in a heavy/thrash metal sauce and that’s what you get with BPMD’s first album…
French heavy metal about strong women in medieval tales. En garde!
With members from the ocean faring mastodons of in Mourning and Ahab, Svärd has set a psychedelic sail on the sludgy seas of heavy metal with their first EP ‘The Rift’.
Gomorra’s debut album ‘Divine Judgement’ is truly a blast packing fast, aggressive and groovy riffs and overall virtuosity.
In the world of Lordi, the band has been around for half a century already, resulting in this fictional compilation album with songs from every decade!
This is a beast of an album. Trivium always goes down to the core of emotions. They go deep and you hear that in their albums.
“Forever Black” is full of epic riffs a bone-crushing old school heavy metal album. Cirith Ungol still remains as one of the main pillars of heavy metal.
