Album Reviews
The Agonist are back with another damn solid release that might catapult them into the higher regions of the metal world!
Alter Bridge is ready to take over some headlining spots from bands that are becoming a bit rusty. If you’re a fan, you will love it. For the others, let it grow on you. There are some beauties on this album.
RAM is back with an album loaded with the classic sound of heavy metal with a clear improvement in songwriting and style!
The profound experience of Crypt Sermon in approaching doom metal. Between the thin lines of Candlemass and Solitude Aeternus the band craft their musical creativity.
This is a really cool heavy metal/ rock ‘n roll album by Gygax. It has different vibes to it. There is a very active solo guitar, which sounds cool, but can be a bit too much as well.
Idle Hands’ ‘Mana’ is a goth rroch/heavy metal masterpiece that strikes more than one emotional chord.
Germany’s take on Speed and thrash metal doesn’t need any introduction. Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves is a pure speed metal album as there is a solid improvement in the musical talent.
Heavy metal rules! And the Burning Witches are keeping the fire hot and blazing!
