Album Reviews

The British heavy metal juggernaut Saxon deliver an outstanding performance on the newest album “Hell, Fire and Damnation”. Musically, the veterans embrace their classic NWOBHM roots and show great ability to write mid-crushing songs. Out tomorrow, January 19th via Silver Lining Music!

‘Senjutsu’ is one of Iron Maiden’s heaviest and epic albums, a remarkable testimony to the quality and skills known only to the diehard Maiden fans.

From times before the great heavy metal cataclysm of the grunged nineties Blazon Rite leads us into the ‘Endless Halls of Golden Totem’.

The third full-length studio album from Fresno, California based outfit Haunt emphasizes further on complex melodies and guitar harmonies.

The roots of NWOBHM resonates throughout the whole album with zeal and passion.

Pounder’s debut full-length album is quite refreshing and the band has managed to bring some energizing tunes without emulating other bands.

Thunderbolt celebrates their 40th anniversary and their 22nd album.
