Album Reviews

Avantasia gives us once again a pearl of an album full of magical stories and adventures. ‘Here Be Dragons’ is out now via Napalm Records! We can’t wait to experience the epicness on the upcoming tour!

4 years in the making and it was worth the wait. Ensiferum does a throw to album of the year where epic, gloomy, atmospheric, and melodic are some of the words to describe this journey that is ‘Winter Storm’, out via Metal Blade Records on October 18!

The new album “Wake Up the Wicked” from the German power metal act Powerwolf brings the band again to highlight each track stuffed with heavy rocking anthems and a bold twist of power metal style. Out via Napalm Records!

Orden Ogans new, slightly harder, album ‘The Order Of Fear’, which has been released on July 5th via Reigning Phoenix Music, hasn’t gotten any big highlights, but it’s on a nice even high level. Everything works just perfect together. Catch their show on the Prison Stage of Alcatraz Festival this Friday!

As to be expected of a new Dragonforce album, ‘Warp Speed Warriors’ is fun and fast! The typical elements they are known for are present, but at the same time they infused it with a bunch of new things, making this album really exciting! Out via Napalm Records!

With ‘Clear Cold Beyond’ Sonata Arctica are re-visiting their faster and heavier roots and will delight older fans, while possibly surprising some of their more new fans. Out via Atomic Fire Records (Reigning Phoenix Music) since last Friday!

‘A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament)’ proves that even after 25 years of existence, Evergrey still has the ability to impress.

Get ready to go on a magical journey with Power Paladin’s debut album!

Crusade of Bards create this mix of power metal, symphonic metal, folk touches, and even gothic and pagan touches. It’s all there, and it all blends in beautifully together.

Finnish heavy metal band Battle Beast just released their new album »Circus of Doom«, on which they perfected their usual sound while still adding a lot of new flavours into the mix. Definitely recommended.
